4. Nitric and hydrochloric acids are then added (in a special ratio) to the tumbler thus forming the aqua regia solution. 5. The aqua regia solution dissolves the gold; the silver is transformed by the hydrochloric acid into AgCl (silver chloride) 6. When the dissolution process is finished, the solution inside the tumbler is discharged into ...
Filter the solution through a glass funnel with cloth filter into another 5000ml pyrex beaker 6.) add either bismuth powder or another chemical like SMB or something else, as mentioned in previous posts, to the AR solution to precipitate the gold 7.) repeat the procedure once more with the pulverized ceramic chips to remove the greatest amount ...
The platinum group of metals often will not precipitate totally, and will occasionally refuse to precipitate at all (solution is often too dilute). Be certain you test the remaining (chloride) solution to insure you got complete precipitation. If you did not, it may be required to extract the platinum with zinc, then re-process.

Gold Refining Process Aqua Regia - Free download as PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free. Aqua regia is a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid that dissolves gold and other precious metals. The gold-bearing scrap is dissolved in aqua regia, producing metal chlorides in solution. The excess aqua regia must then be eliminated to allow precipitation of …
I precipitated from Aqua Regia using sodium metabisulfate, but it did not succeed in precipitating. Then I used aluminum, and this was the precipitate shown in the picture. Is this a gold precipitate, or did I make a mistake? When I put it in nitric, it turned gray and not brown.
Bloomglassworks, There are many things you will need to learn here, fist you should study Hokes book. Aqua regia should be used to dissolve gold, not base metals or gold and base metals. You need Listen to your sister, she is correct urea and nitric can make dangerous compounds especially with metals and processes we use, many will suggest urea …
For my process: 1) AR dissolution 2) Spray water to the AR solution to reduce the temperature of the AR 3) Filter the AgCl twice using 10 micron and 5 micron filter 4) Adding urea and precipitate using SMB 5) Wash the precipitated gold using Nitric Acid, water, Sodium Thiosulfate, water, Nitric Acid then water again. I use a mechanical agitator ...
This was continued until the solution dropped the gold. observations: when the flakes were added, they would turn black immediately from a reaction taking place. as more was added, the solution would turn dark brown and gold would precipitate, but get dissolved back into solution. after continuing to add the sodium hydroxide, the solution ...
I am new to this area and have a question regarding a selective precipitation of gold from an anolyte solution of 10% by volume aqua regia. The solution also contains PGM. …
The figures constantly quoted for the precipitation of gold using SMB are only applicable in a laboratory setting, or for precipitating from a pure solution of Gold Chloride. As soon as you add "reality" to the situation i.e. Base metals, residual excess nitric, and the resulting differing base metal ionic states among others, then those ...
A selective precipitant is added to turn the dissolved gold (and nothing else) back into solid form (particles). The solution is either decanted or filtered to recover the pure gold "mud." The gold mud is then rinsed, dried and melted. Shor's …
Aqua regia refining process 1. The metal to be refined should be assayed in order to establish contents of precious metals 2. The next step is to melt the metal into a form that exposes the …
Hi Guys, Basically, I am from Egypt and our government started permitting people to make mining in gold mines I am a chemist and have good background about chemicals usage 7 handling I would like to start doing this business and i want to start refining gold by Aqua Regia method Appreciate if you share with me your experience in this field and the guidelines about …
Reconversion back to reusable HNO3 is a win win deal but it does a key piece of the work for you. The scrubbed product is a gas so it separates itself from the chemical mixture you've created to process the gold. Since it conveniently becomes airborne and relatively free from other chemicals the process is simple and the results predictable.
the second stage precipitation process just the same procedure as the first step. Usually, solution color shall be cleared out after the second step cementation. Stannous chloride solution coloring test is a good indicator whether gold precipitation is complete or not as shown below. Gold still exists in solution Minor Gold exists in solution ...
But i still can not get clean gold from my precipitate. I droped gold from AR using baking soda and the precipitate was dark brown powder. I then heated the brown powder(dry) with charcoal to decompose the gold hydroxide powder then smelted it directly with a propane torch but the result was nothing close to gold though it looked metalic Brown ...
The past few days after my AR solution dissolve all the gold foils i diluted with water equal 3 times more than the AR solution and after i add a few mls of Sodium Hydroxide there was no reaction (that happen to all of my AR solutions) and then i add SMB diluted with water and the drop of gold was a successes i test my solution after for gold with SC and it was negative .
Hi I have two question about metastannic acid 1- Why tin produces metastannic acid in aqua regia but it doesn't produce metastannic acid in acid peroxide? 2- For rid of metastannic acid in aqua regia solution, we must precipitate gold > evaporate solution > incinerate residue > dissolve in HCl > wash with hot water > dissolve in AR (Right?) When we …
Hi Gold.Lunatic! Check the post @ GENERAL CHAT: "General Reaction List", you'll find the recipies for the different methods. Also check in HELP NEEDED, there you'll find answers to questions similar to yours.
You can also learn not to use too much nitric when dissolving in aqua regia, GSP has made some very good posts on the subject. You will also learn how to eliminate the nitric acid before you try to precipitate the gold, Harold's trick of adding gold to the evaporation process works wonders if you did use more nitric than necessary.
Aqua regia process can be used to separate gold from othe metals also. If we have gold mixed with other metals, we can separate it by using AR process on it. To get 24K gold, finally we can use aqua regia process. We can use AR to recover gold from gold plated fingers and pins. But this will not be the best method for it.
Furthermore, complete gold precipitation using L is also seen from solutions of HAuCl 4 in 20 or aqua regia or 2 M H 2 SO 4 in the presence of chloride or bromide (Supplementary Table 1 ...
Most efficient way how to precipitate metal in quantitative way is make inslouble compound, which could be filtered (like AgCl). Or you can cement the metal with more reactive metal (gold with copper etc.). You will always lost some values, mainly in washing steps of the …

$begingroup$ Gold is not really purified by dissolving it into aqua regia. Most base metals dissolve in aqua regia, too. The actual purification comes from choosing a reducing agent that acts on the gold but leaves the less reducible base metal ions in solution. $endgroup$ –
He uses cyanide for electronic scrap, and says it is the fastest way to process electronic scrap. He crushes the gold plated parts and treats with cyanide, or put the edge connectors (after cutting them of the boards) just as is with plastics and all in cyanide. Takes a half our and you've got your gold. He uses zinc to precipitate the gold.
The amount of aqua-regia required for a given batch varies and depends on the proportion that is acid soluble and the quality of the metal present. It has been found that from 3.5. to 5 liters of aqua-regia are required per kilo of scrap, most batches fall in the range of 4 to 4.5 liters of aqua-regia per kilo of scrap, in smaller amounts this is equivalent to 4 to 4.5 ml (cc) per-gram of scrap.
I had a solution of gold cianide and tried to precipitate with zinc powder and did not work.Then i tried with aluminium and it precipitated very well. a brown precipitate wish i washed well and put in nitric to clean the gold--Can someone tell me why zinc did not work and aluminium worked very well?thanks and regards to all.---Arthur Kierski
