Is there a faster way of evaporating ultra sonic soap, for precious metals refining and diamond recovery after its powderized? It has been sitting at the same level in this metal bucket for almost a year.

This is what we use, but at 50/50 concentration it works better so we do 50/50

Most soaps/detergents are usually non-volatile, so probably not. It it's urgent to recover the leavings, I'd say centrifuge the goo (or just carefully decant as best you can after the bucket has settled).

That's what I thought...
I've been just letting it settle like you said and pouring the top layer off into another bucket then vise versa with the other buckets every couple weeks
No. No real rush, just taking up space

Evaporation rate is proportional to surface area. Lay a tarp out flat with raised edges, the wider and shallower the better. If you need it sooner than that you'd have to boil it. The water will boil off and leave everything heavier behind.
