Could anyone tell where from you buy equipment for Wohlwill purification?
I'm of the opinion you can't buy such equipment. I built the miniature cell I had intended to use, but I never put it in service, being content to chemically refine my gold a second time to insure quality.

Thank you. I have the same problem to find any manufacturer. I invented a new method for refining, really much better then existing processes and can not find any viable company manufacturing equipment for gold refining that I can speak with.

Their out there. Give us a little insight into what your talking about and maybe we can help. You've got all the experts you could want right here.
 
Thank you. I can not go inside details very deep as I am currently patenting the method. What I can say it is electrolytic, however it can work with low karat gold and will produce 99+ gold at least. Probably 99.9+ (99+ percent in unoptimized conditions). Very little toxic chemicals, many time less then in Aqua Regia , fast, could be automated and could even be made continuous, low karat gold enters the machine from one side, purified gold comes out from other.

To make my words little more convincing. I have PhD and I work at Yale University, although invention is not related to the university and was made in my garage
 
So actually my method will transform refining scrap gold from alchemy to modern technology, gold will be rolled, will pass trough my machine and comes out pure. Downsized it also may be used for refining gold by individuals.
 
What would likely prove to advantage would be for you to get hooked up with a small machine shop. By doing so, you won't be restricted to buying what is available, but can, instead build to your design. From your description, my thoughts are that you have few other choices.

I was successful in building all of my equipment when I refined, having worked as a machinist/toolmaker, and running my own commercial machine shop. It makes a huge difference in achieving one's goals.

I would comment on one thing (my opinion only). Industry standard for gold is 9995. That should be your target purity if you expect to enjoy success. Lower can put you in a compromising position.

I am mot a refiner and do not want to be one. I invented when I read how they refine today and how ineffective and outdated the processes are.

I want to find a company I can license the invention and they can do with it whatever they want.
 
Welcome to the board.

Is your PhD in chemistry?

I understand you can not give exact details, but what exactly makes your process so much better than existing processes besides less hazardous chemicals? How thoroughly have you reviewed the patent literature? Have you talked to a patent attorney? What makes you so sure that this invention works well in large volume, fast throughput environments?

I would be interested in hearing about the process in more detail privately. I am familiar with confidentiality agreements.


As for your query on the Wohlwill cell, I can offer you advice and some materials. They are rather simple to construct.

Regards,

Lou
 
Thank you, Lou.

Some of your questions.

1. I have access to the patent database and am familiar with it; I have a number of patents in my main specialty field. My own search revealed nothing similar to my invention.

2. I hold a PhD biochemistry, and my education also included physics. My invention uses both principles of physics and chemistry.

3. Yes, this invention could treat very large volumes of scrap gold (as well as can be used in platinum purification from ore as much as I know the field).

4. If you wish to have a further discussion. my email is [email protected]

We can continue privately.

Physics,
Gotta love that.
That's the missing link between refining and recovery.

Prospecting is a combination of the two!

It's hard to refine something you don't have. :D

I hope your on to something new and cutting edge.

Let us know your results.

Thank you.

Hope this work out :)
 
Strange, my post disappear.

I wrote that I would appreciate if Lou or others who replay to me privetely will leave comments here as I do not receive any mail.

I could discuss more open now after I finally filed patent application.
 
Good to hear you have your patent in. Since you are asking for feedback from Lou and others on the forum, it might be nice to write a general outline of your process so that replies make sense to the rest of us.
 
i've seen video of this system working on youtube. When I went to the website they specifications said it required a 386 computer and the people on the website were dressed vintage 1987. I have my doubts that this is a new system.
