Hey guys, here is the cleanup portion for the video. 


Also, can you guys think of any good title for the main video? I cant think of anything that would be enticing, without being annoying clickbait.

Dealing with my manganese heptoxide waste

This is a follow-up to the video on my main channel: https://youtu.be/2BZGjycR7YM In that video, I made the unstable and strong oxidizer called manganese heptoxide. When I was done though, I had a lot of manganese and acid waste that I had to deal with. I initially planned to be done after isolating the waste, but as the last minute, I decided to try melting it. I don't consider that to be part of the waste processing though, and it's more of an experiment on its own. In general, I don't recommend heating waste because it can sometimes be dangerous and it can also generate toxic fumes.

Could you extract elemental manganese from the waste?

Documenting the entire process from clean supplies, through the reactions, to the cleanup is important for a wide-angle view of the process. Being responsible during the cleanup after the interesting work is just as important from an education perspective. Leaving the "mess" for someone else to deal with (other than Neil over at Periodic Videos where it's his job) helps establish a culture of responsibility.

It never occurred to me. There might be a way though. However, the amount of manganese i imagine would be super small.

I think one of my favorite parts of your work is how you deal with waste. Thank you for covering it.

"Dealing with the Manganese Heptoxide aftermath" may be a good title, if a bit long.

It's fascinating to me that this is fascinating to me. I really am drawn to this waste cleanup stuff! Thank you!

Hmm, that very cool Red Nile.

I always have an issue with wastes from metals and other stuff. Vanadium salts, Magnase salts, metals but where would I go to get rid of Uranium ore? I thought NRC but there must be a place to deal with 30 g of Ore. I have buckets of gold waste waiting for the eco center in Gatineau.

If everything is converted to MnO2 you can use it for a thermite reaction. That would be the most straightforward way.

Perhaps a title playing on my favourite quote of the video (that perhaps is a little too relatable) “it really doesn’t want to exist” 🤷‍♀️

Title suggestion: "Mn2O7: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"

The good would be the first video with the pretty mushroom cloud. :)
