I am making aqua regia using a 3.5 to one HCL to Nitric. The nitric I am using is Lasersteves method without distillation, roughly 50 %. Upon cooking down to remove excess nitric I am finding a salt substance that is falling out of the AR. I do have positive stannous chloride tests for palladium, dark green from ore I mine. Can I prevent this salt from forming by investing in distillation equipment for nitric acid? I am also going to have to completely cook down until I get no more salt dropout from the AR. I did do a small test using sodium chlorate about 0.10 grams and did get some red powder to drop but it did take about 20 minuets to precipitate.
