Sell it? It’s expensive to buy.
£10,000 per ton for 99.99% pure stuff in bulk (a little over 3x copper), but like all metals in recent years the price goes up and down like a yo-yo.
A bottle like that you’d have to pay someone to take it away if you were a business. Most sources of it are as a waste from the production of other stuff (oil and gas). It’s only expensive when it’s being sold by lab supply companies (who’ve purified it etc).
I did a chemistry degree in Sheffield and saw far to much accidentally ending up where it shouldn’t in first year Labs – at least it isn’t trimethylmercury
High 5 fellow Sheffield Chemistry grad!
But, I graduated in ’08 and got a proper bollocking for even having a stoppered jar of zinc amalgam outside the fume cupboard in the 2nd year. Just because something was overlooked in the past doesn’t mean it’s right.
