Gold Refining

no need for links or kits.

 

with the right techniques and chemicals, the safe use of aqua regia can be done

 

the first thing is the presentation of the solid

 

build a home smelter and corn flake the molten metal into 5 gallons of cold water

then use aqua regia and salts to precipitate the gold, then silver etc...

 

watch out for platinum and palladium contaminants in your gold

Now we are talking, so, you say it is possible with a melter, gallons of coldwater, and the famous Kingswater as we call the AR here in Holland. Could you tell me how to perform it safely, and does it dissolve all the base metal on which the gold is?

i was interested in learning more about acid peroxide. i was reading the gold refining articles and someone had mentioned acid peroxide was a safer alternative to a/r.if some has eperience using acid peroxide to refine gold please tell me the steps you used, what was positive about the outcome, and what obsticals you had to overcome. if you are able to add some additional imformation such as hazards, and safty percautions you found that were useful.

thankyou for your interest and your feed back:chris

i was wondering if it was more economical to make nitric acid at home vs buying it at a chemical supply store? i was able to find some imformation on the web about making nitric acid, but i have no eperience making it. if anybody has imformation on personal experiences they have had making nitric acid at home i would like to know if it was more affordable and cost effective vs buying it in the store. please factor in time at store to get supplies and actual time it took to mix chemicals to get a finished product.

thank you:chris

The Miller process is filling a crucible with gold to purify, melting it, and then blowing Chlorine gas thru it. Pretty much everything that makes gold impure will combine with Chlorine before gold will...so you end up with fairly pure gold rather cheaply.
