I was wondering, as I've been playing with my furnace just recently, If I take the obvious bits away (aluminum) and then throw everything else into my furnace, it will melt everything into a mixed metal block containing copper, steel, nickel, silver, gold.
If I put these into suitably sized blocks and use cupellation to remove all but the noble metals, would you say that this is a somewhat safer method that the wet route?
And by going this route, would you say that you should be collecting all the noble metals, or will there be losses?
Or would the suggestion be to follow the HCL route first to eliminate some of the metals to begin with?
