AP process

[bswartzwelder]

I've seen somewhere on the site people talking about the AP process. This termoinology is not something I am familiar with. Could someone please fill in this old timer who is new to processing gold? Thank you. And by the way, laugh all you want.

Ap is short for acid / peroxide.
Hcl (Muratic acid)+hydrogen peroxide=Ap

Works on copper like nitric just slower, cheaper and reusable

Thank you so much for the response. I still feel stoopid, but at least I know what the AP process is. Two brane cells left. One is lost and the other is out looking for it.
