All chemicals that are non-soluable should be ok. Just dry them out and
bust them up.
You wouldn't even necessarily need to get then totally back to powder
form. If you can weigh them into a glaze batch, they will break back
down in water when you wet the glaze.

I had water comming into my basement and it flowed over (among other
things) a shelf that I had some chemicals on. some of the chemicals
were in containers that were not water tight. I have a tub of maganise
dioxide that is very soupy. do I pitch it, do I open it and let it dry
and then ball mill the resultant mass? and how do I decide which ones
to dry out and which one to pitch at the hazardous waste site?
