Hello.
I have copper gold silver ore.
At the end of the process of concentrating I plan to use aqua regia to precipitate gold.
Does this process seem sound to remove minerals and alloyed metals?
Neutralized and washed after each.
Dilute sulfuric acid bath; remove zinc, manganese etc.
Hot concentrated sulfuric acid bath; remove silver and copper.
Nitric acid and formic acid to refine silver.
Concentrated nitric acid to remove pyrite.
Aqua regia to precipitate gold.
Thanks.
