Gokul Ragupathi Dear Sir, ...

Gokul Ragupathi Dear Sir, From your description, it appears that you have a mixture of desired salts contaminated by organic sludge, which is undesired. Thus you are worried about how to remove the undesired organic sludge.
In view of the above, I suggest to kindly try to incinerate the whole mixture at high temperature, which will remove the organic part of the sludge, leaving behind the desired organic salts as residue. The salts will survive the high temperature & the organic sludge will burn away. Of course the emissions of the incinerator need to be properly scrubbed to avoid air pollution. Regards,
