While doing some study on dealing with waste, you will learn some of the basic principles.
During this time the copper in the bucket will be undergoing a chemical reaction to recover any gold that can be recovered from the solution (that is if it can be reduced).
During your study of waste treatment you will learn of some of the very imprtant basic principles of recovering and of refining, one of which you have already started, by adding the clean bar of copper to the solution.
The copper will displace gold from solution, or cement the gold, Here were are using copper as a reducing agent, just the same as if we used a chemical reducing agent.
The solution then we can save and use later for a recovery process, or treat it as waste, preparing it for safe disposal...
The Muck, well lets just dry it out, for now, we can deal with it later and recover the gold from it.
Now the solution is bassically an chloride solution of copper and many other metals, which could be used as a cupric chloride or ferric chloride leach, but lets go ahead and treat it for waste, basically using it to learn more by doing what we have studied.
So we took the bar of copper out after it has done its job of displacing any gold or valueble metals from solution, and brushed off any black powder or salts from the copper bar back into the solution with the muck, we let the this settle overnight while we studied more in the safety section, we decanted the solution without disturbing the muck, washing the muck in water and drying it out for recovery later...
Then we get us a claen piece of iron rebar, here we will use again what we learned from our study of dealing with waste, and more about the chemisty of recovery and refining, we will put the iron into solution, not all metals will react to the iron, the iron is also a reducing agent, just like the other chemicals we use to recover and refine gold, here the iron is selective of what metals it will reduce, or what dissolved metal ion it will change back into metal, with this process we will recover our copper as metal, we can save it for use in recovery or refining with or use it in many different ways.
At this point we have a iron chloride solution and other very reactive metals, we could save this solution, for as ferric chloride leaching process to recover gold or silver or just treat it further for waste...
Now the iron chloride solution we can use lime or NaOH, to treat it further for waste, here we will also learn much more form the chemisty, converting the metals to oxides and hydroxides, with each and every step in learning to deal with the waste and our study of the process we will begin to learn many of the important basic principles we need to understand to learn to recover and refine precious metals.
The Muck may have a few flakes of gold, but it is worthless comparing it, to what you can gain in by just spending your time learning how to deal with your toxic waste safely.
Spending our time studying we can learn to recover and refine gold and know where to find it.
Chasing gold flakes around with acids and electronic scrap, and making muck is just a very slow and hard way to learn how to get gold, that is if you can find it.
