Non-Chemical DESIGN A REFINERY - Hello Gentlemen

Thanks for the explanatory post, Ralph, and welcome to the forums!

Without going into your secrets, is this refinery of yours strictly of a chemical nature? I'm very interested in the fact that you state your operations are so clean. Can you elaborate without giving too much away?

Thanks,

Fever

Hydrometallurgical refining technology. With a few twists. LOL
I can Reveal some things. thanks.

Ralph do these look familiar:

Welcome to the forum. :wink:

I'll tell you what. You tell me what you have so far and I'll feed you some info. The rules are that you provide me with 10 complete pages of exactly how your refinery will operate. I mean in great detail. You said your refinery is near completion. If you do this , I will feed you some info. You are full of shit, my friend, if you don't. Fade off into the distance. You're not only incapable of doing this, you're a scoundrel. Begone.

Ralph,

I was hoping you could explain to the forum what the machine in the first picture does? It looks like some sort of hydra. I assume it's some sort of self contained gold processor?

Explain how yours works in detail.

I watched the video and read the pdf. It seems like a near duplicate of a Shor refining machine I saw in the early '80's. A standard, self-enclosed, aqua regia machine that you could put in your living room. Nothing really new. Actually, the Shor machine did a very good job. At first glance, the machine in the video seems excellent.

If you base your refinery on this system, you seem to be behind the times. Any large refinery would use the Miller Chlorine Method and a Wohlwill cell to refine the gold. The system in the video, albeit a well designed system, is nothing more than a self-contained aqua regia system. Surely, no one on this forum could afford, or want, your $50,000 to $200,000 system. They are doing the same thing for $100. Better go on down the line. You're wasting your time here.

did you forget about the basics. like cost per kg to refine, ease of us,total automation, no handling of chemicals, saftey, not to mention production and purity. I'm not refining grandma's rigns here. LOL

nope try again.

The Miller process is rapid and simple, but it produces gold of only about 99.5 percent purity. The Wohlwill process increases purity to about 99.99 percent by electrolysis. In this process, a casting of impure gold is lowered into an electrolyte solution of hydrochloric acid and gold chloride. Under the influence of an electric current, the casting functions as a positively charged electrode, or anode. The anode dissolves, and the impurities either pass into solution or report to the bottom of the electrorefining tank as an insoluble slime. The gold migrates under the influence of the electric field to a negatively charged electrode called the cathode, where it is restored to a highly pure metallic state.

Although the Wohlwill process produces gold of high purity, it requires the producer to keep on hand a substantial inventory of gold (mainly for the electrolyte), and this is very costly. Processes based on direct chemical purification and recovery from solution as elemental gold can greatly speed gold processing and virtually eliminate expensive in-process inventories.

Thanks

Ralph

so how much is it

[darkelf2x1]

just curious about the price of the system

 

[aflacglobal]

you don,t won't to know brother.
it's more custom for me. but i'm working on it.( to make it simpler that is ) for others.
now this gentlemen is what i'm talking about. feed back people. lol
positive feed back.

Thanks man.

Later
Ralph

 

[aflacglobal]

But you will be happy to know that the machine will be multi versatile.
meaning you can run different material sources

There's a whole bunch of pm stuff there. It's just kinda hard to find it.
If you go into detail on each item in a lot it even tells you what type of pm is contained in an item and the pm's weight. Lots of stuff in Fla...Steve?

Could anyone tell where from you buy equipment for Wohlwill purification?
