Hello everyone,
I am Jelmer and I live in the Netherlands.
Lately I have been busy with regaining gold from old computers.
To solve the gold wants to make aqua regia.
I read that this requires concentrated HNO3 (68%) and concentrated HCl (30%).
Unfortunately, I can't buy HNO3 with this high concentration. However, HNO3 (3%) is available.
My question is whether I could use this and if I use this then can I just use 68/3 times as much?
I'm looking forward hearing from you!
