AP Process

[Twistie]

I have been reading and trying to intake all the information here and in Hoke's book. Most abbreviations I think I have figured out like AR = Agua Regina and I can look up the chemical equations easily HNO3 = Nitric Acid, but for the life of me I can not figure out what AP stands for. I have found no results here when I search it or out on that crazy I-net. Additionally, I have not been able to figure out from the sentences in which it was used. I am willing to research the information just need to know what to look up.

AP = ???

Thanks again

AR = Aqua Regia, not Regina.

AP = Acid/Peroxide. The leach starts with HCl and peroxide. As it works, it becomes a CUCl₂ leach, with the CuCl₂ doing the work of dissolving copper and other metals.

The forum search doesn't produce results for 2 letter searches. If you have the google search it will do a better job.

Aww, the light bulb just went off! I had actually watched a video on that. Thank you! I've been keeping a journal and I am working on a glossary to help me in my research. This is almost like learning a foreign language and my brain is a slow translator.

you may not think so but....... slow is good, take your time & don't rush "safety first"

if you are weary on a process just ask, you know there is lots of help here.
