An accident: what can I do?

[Geld Konig]

I used AP process. All OK. Then, I filtrate the gold foils. All OK. At the end of filtration I took a spray bottle with sodium hipoclorite ( clorox 3%) to clean the golden foils that were in paper filter. I have a destilated water in other spray bottle, too.I took other and get a mistaken.Questions:
What can I do to recover the gold that go into solution? I read somewhere that when into the solution there are H2O2, we can not use SMB to precipitate the Au.
I think a little clorox fell in to AP solution. The AP can be used once again? Or not?

No problem, put some HCL in the solution and put it on heat for a little while to get rid of the chlorine. If you don't want to do that you can put it out in the sun and let nature take it's course. Just make sure you have an excess of HCL.

And mark you spray bottles or paint them different colors. It can be a time consuming mistake.
