i was wondering if you could heat gold to its boiling point for the sake of burning off more impurity. once you get it to 90 something percent pure that is.

That'd be one hell of a moonshine.

So now you're talking about the combustion and/or boiling point of base metals. Most of those metals and oxides are things you don't want to breathe or release into the air. As Scott said:troymoore4 said:Alrighty, but I had another thought. Imagine, for example, you have a 5gal. bucket full of 'gold fingers' you removed from scrapped computer memory chips. Is it possible to just heat it all up to a point where the non-metalic components will burn off an leave the metallic parts unharmed? Using, of course, the proper tools/supplies to do so.

troymoore4 said:With respect sir, you do not know what/how I am doing my research,nso please do not say I am not researching at all based on the questions I ask here. While I am the first to admit there's is much I don't know, I do know that if you want the answers you have to ask the questions. Had you asked me about my research I would have to!d you that so far aqua regia seems to be the best cost/output option I have found yet. The questions I ask here are based solely on random ideas that occur to me that might speed up the process or increase the purity of yield.. You can say what you wish, but I will continue to ask questions even if they seem a bit stupid and/or silly. I figure it is better to ask and learn the easy way rather than to try and fail otherwise. After all,the dumbest question is not one that is asked, it is the one that was not asked.
the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.
the devotion of time and attention to acquiring knowledge on an academic subject, especially by means of books.
a method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.

and read it. I am suggesting you do this for these reasons. The book will answer many of the questions you might have, for example, you would know about the incarceration process, and also know that it might be applied to what you have asked in this thread. The other reason is that you would learn the terminology we use on this forum. It might seem like another language, and it might take some learning on your part but once you have read Hoke, and learned the terminology we use, you will be able to use the search function far better than not because you will know the correct terms to use to search by. If you type, for example,Refining Precious Metals Wastes by CM. Hoke
, you might discover a wealth of posts on the subject, how to do it safely and properly, what mistakes to avoid, the laws that might affect you doing so, and more. Asking here will lead to many of these answers that already are archived here, and might also expose you to even more that you otherwise would not have been because you didn't ask those questions.incineration electronics
