I worked at a large electroplating plant that plated chrome as its last step. The chromic acid was hexavalent chrome so when rinsing the electroplated product, the water was contaminated. The water also was contaminated with sodium cyanide, copper and nickel salts. We had a large wastewater treatment system that eventually used large chain polymers to bind the metals to them, then add the waste water to a gargantuan clarification tank which also added a 'flocking material' to adhere to the polymers and sink them to the bottom. The clean water would overflow at the top and go to the sewer system and the flocking material would be pumped to a press that squeezed the water out. What came out was the same color of green that you had before drying everything in the oven.

@Bebopman Current Do you need any more of a sign that you shouldn't do Molly? I'm all for MDMA, and I happen to quite like the stuff, but the fact of the matter is you can't trust that that's what you're getting these days. If I was to go acquire some Molly on the street, in all likelihood, it would just be full of Fentanyl, and Fentanyl is one thing that nobody should fuck around with. It's a highly concentrated Opium-derivative, and "they" use it to assassinate politicians in South America. The only way you can trust MDMA in this day and age is to make it yourself, though I'm not about to recommend that you do that... * wink wink * Drug dealers are so shady these days that I wouldn't be surprised to find an E pill that's cut with anhydrous ammonia.
