do you need to use a stainless steel pot/pan when heating the lye?

what is your experiment

Is it hydrofluoric acid or hydrochloric acid ?

this is lye (sodium hydroxide) not acid the same thing you use to make soap. hydrofluoric acid will dissolve silica and those are your only two options

@@WorldScienceTV Thanks for the reply . I understand that you used lye to dissolve the quarts, but near the end of the video you used 1 oz hydrochloric acid to clean/neutralize the nugget. I just wanted to verify . Also I noticed they solution was hot when you added the 1oz of hydrochloric acid , is this right. Thank you !

You first off never pore acid into a base. At this point in the video there was almost no lye left in the liquid. Only the nugget in clean water heated in a well ventilated area with your lungs at a safe distance hot acid is bad very very bad. And yes about 1 ounce

If you use sulfuric acid at the end, you will have silica sand

Interesting fact. At this point the lye and silica should be mostly rinsed away. Thank you for your input

You can order 30% hydroperoxide and that'll do the job excellent
