Incremental seemed faster in the long run. This was VERY informative and easy to follow. Thank you @sreetips !

This is the best video on this subject that I have ever seen....Now I understand.

When I started following your channel, Sr. Chief, I did some stoichometric research on AR and I didn’t understand why you added the nitric in increments, but I reasoned that because you are the expert for these processes, you knew something not greatly discussed on the interweb. I just stumbled on this video and NOW I get it. Thank you for your entertaining instruction! 👍👍👊👊

]hello, im Bobby and I over the last few years have attempted to do the aqua Regia thing but never finished with many types and quantities of elect gold, now I have approx 20 gallons of dirty gold solution, nitric, hydrochloric,peroxide how would you say to start the process to finish it up, some of it is pretty thick

(Incremental nitric dosing to dissolve gold) and (inquarting the gold with silver then parting with nitric acid) are the two most beneficial things that I have ever learned in my gold refining experience. Sometimes I over shoot with the nitric. When I do, I never use urea. Instead, I use sulfamic acid to kill excess nitric. Sulfamic acid is tile cleaner from Home Depot, about $8 for a pound.

@georgehollowell5000

I have bought some gold covered pins on EBay. Hopefully they will be ok for my first attempt.

@sreetips

6 жыл бұрын

Gold covered pins are gold plated. There is a very thin coating of gold over a base metal. Usually brass or copper, but sometimes steel. Steel will not dissolve very well in nitric acid. Use a magnet to see if you have steel or brass as base metal. In any case, the amount of gold will be very small. And you must use a sulfuric acid stripping cell to deplate the gold. It would be a hard first-time experiment to pull off. I've done milspec pins by dissolving the base metal (nonmagnetic brass) with hot dilute nitric acid, then dissolving the resulting gold foils in aqua regia, but it took a long time and used much acid. Good luck with your refining experiments.

@markcook999

Thanks for the info!! Much appreciated! I think maybe I should have acquired some karat gold for my first experiment 🙄

Interesting approach. You can reclaim some of that nitric acid by bubbling the nitrogen dioxide through water and then distilling to concentrate it. It won't get all of it but that would allow you to recycle some of your nitric acid.

Impressive! Thanks

Many many thanks

Thank you.... Sir.... It was so informative

I wouldn't try to do this kind of thing myself. This IS a great experinent! I like that you look at all the methods and all the data and compare results. More than that, you don't treat anything as trivial. All the information you gather has value. That said, are there other methods that you will test and compare in future vids? Maybe one I missed? I saw a vid where you used a method involving chlorine bleach.

Excellent

Good Tip Good on you. Saving Time ,Is Way Cool

great vid bro , thanks

Your awesome bro I do the paranna or the Blanco but if it's very good gold I hit it with aqua but yeah you got it add it lil by lil is the best way

Sodium hydroxide before you do smb. It will neutralize the acids. Then you won't have a violent reaction when you add the smb.

Hey Sreetips. You really are great at what you do. I am wondering if your exhaust flows through a filter, or if it just blows high above the house and neutralizes in the air? Please let me know. Thanks for the videos!

I think a very good way to dissolve gold is by adding nitric acid in small portions. Saving nitric acid. Считаю очень хороший способ растворения золота прибавляя азотную кислоту небошими порциями. Экономия азотной кислоты.
