Is it possible to separate the 3 elements in cloth Carbon,oxygen and Hydrogen

In summary, it is not possible to separate the elements of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen from cloth without wetting it or using sound waves. Burning the cloth will not effectively separate the elements. Heating the cloth may help with hydrolysis, but it would not result in the separation of the elements. Additionally, attempting to crystallize carbon from cloth would not be a viable method for separation.

is it possible to separate the 3 elements in cloth Carbon,oxygen and Hydrogen without wetting it? Gas? Sound waves? Making the elements heavier?

Burning does not break all bonds between atoms.

10 kK should do the trick.

Heating and burning are two different things.

Looks like you are looking for a simple answer to complicated question. Simple answer is "no".

Well if you heat it sufficiently, it will dry. So if you can collect the moisture, you can make hydrolysis.

By carbon, you mean pure carbon? Graphite and diamond? You want to crystallize carbon from cloth?
