[labnetwork] Cleaning heavy metals off chamber liners- is there any place that does this?

[Clifford F Knollenberg]

We have heavy metal residues on the chamber liners of our Ar Ion Mill that we would like to get removed.  The heavy metals include Hg, Cd, and Te, mixed in with a large amount of non-toxic metals (Fe, Si, Au, etc).  We would like to get them cleaned (bead blasted) at a facility capable of handling heavy metal residues safely.  We do not need the chamber liners completely clean of the heavy metals, but want to reduce the metal build-up on the surface.

Any advice would be helpful.

Regards,

Cliff
