Non-Chemical Ferrous materials

[sourdoughjoe]

Just a thought and wanting feedback please! I was wondering if AFTER dissolving metals in AR if a person could drop all the metals with Zn and then use a neo magnet to pull all the ferrous metal out of the dropped material and then re-dissolve with AR, then drop the PM? What are your thoughts? Thanks...Joe!

I would think that dissolved metals would no longer be magnetic. They would have to be elemental to retain there magnetic properties. I think that you would be better off just using the tried and true methods that are promoted here on the forum. Don't try to re-invent the wheel!

For starters; Why would you have anything ferrous in Aqua Regia?

Good point, if iron was in solution, the values would most like not be in this solution.

A big waste, to precipitate iron with zinc
