since most of the material we deal with is mostly base metal or other scrap would this work... instead of using AP to get rid of base metal how about using 67% Calcium hypochlorite and water or some other basic solution to dissolve the gold and leave the base metal? and if it is possible how would you go about getting the gold out of that mixture. or is this not possible? i have heard that Calcium hypochlorite and lye will will dissolve gold but this is just 2nd hand info. and i wouldn't have an idea where to start. i bought a 100 lb barrel of 67% Calcium hypochlorite for 2 dollars a while ago,with the wife putting the nix on the acid methods maybe i can get this one by her.
