For me it is most practical to catch gasses in a closed system in the next vessel with a matching reagent before letting them pass through the fume hood.

Another important point is, you should always use small increments of hypochlorite at a time when dissolving gold, added with a pipette at the bottom of the solution, so if you do it right, there won't be much chlorine left over, that can escape.

The Library threads should not be considered to constitute a complete education. Instead, they're more like reading a single book on the subject of recovery and refining. There is so much more information on the forum, and it is impossible to include it all in these condensed threads. Members are strongly encouraged to read the rest of the forum to round out their education.
