Okay here is another one. A friend was doing fingers. Fingers pulled from AP . Flakes put in filter. There was green paint, I guess that is really called solder mask , in with it so added lye right on top of it to try and eat up the green paint. Poured water over it I think , to wash it. Flakes disappeared in filter.
Now there is a nice golden yellow solution in jar. So basically a lye/water/gold solution.
Now I assume that the gold was dissolved due to the lye and air oxidizing the gold and the acid that was still clinging to the flakes from the AP kicked in and dissolved it. ???
It looks just like Acid chlorox with flakes dissolved in it.
So how would one go about dropping the gold out of this solution?
