To be more specific how much in weight of Jewelry karat gold scrap does one need to produce 10 troy ounces of pure goldHello ! Quick question ! I just need a rough estimation of a Calculation ! How much karat scrap does one need to produce 10 troy ounces of pure gold ?
You are mixing parts and parts per hundred ie %24K is pure gold,
14K gold, or 14k/24k x100=0.583358.33% gold by weight
So it would take about 17.5 troy ounces of 14K jewelry to make about 10 troy 0unces of 24K gold.
17.5 x 0.583 = 10.20 ounces
For 10 karat gold or 10/24K = 0.4166% gold by weight. 10/24*100= 41.66%
so it would take about 24.5 troy ounces of 10k gold to make about 10 troy ounces of 24K gold.
24,5 x 0.4166 = 10.20 troy ounces of 24k gold
18 k gold or 18K/24 = 75% gold by weight
So about 13.5 troy ounces of 18k gold would give you approximately 10 troy ounces of purer gold
13.5 x 0.75 = 10.125 troy ounces of 24k gold
Very easily done, been there done thatThanks for catching that, I just forgot to move decimal points...
