Hi every one on this forum. Ok so i made a mess up im very nnot a chemist im technologist in industrial electronics and im from quebec, Canada. so im sorry for my english to... And thanks for all the post they really helpfull i started read hookes book.
So ill explaine my fist experience and i would like to have some comment and explanation you will see a dummy try to but it will help me and maybe some other person...
Ok then... I started up with hydrochloric 34% and hydrogen peroxide 3%, Everithing was good i seen the gold foils go out from the electronic scrap then i burned it whit propane torch to remove some plastics filtered it in water to remove the plastic as i can. The result was gold foils whit a little bit of some other scrap.
After i used bleach and hcl acis to melt the foils everythings was good and yes i have my protective gear i just removed my mask for 1 breath and i wasent able to breath.... So after de gold metl in the chemical solution it was a green emerlad so as a dummy i put baking soda and the result was brown powder i tryed to melt it whit oxy acetylene torch and it burn everythings thecrucible to but i was seeing some gold in the crucible... May be. I dont have pic of the melted solution but oxy acetilene was a bad idea...
To return to the solution i put the baking soda that i just keep the brown powder the resulting liquid was more clear green yellow emerlad color that i putted in a copper bar after 5 minutes the solution turned a dark black that when i puted that to the sun and try to look the solution... My eye back the bottle plastic water bottle and the bottle to the sun and it was really dark i tryed to melt the product but i did the same mistake i tried agan to use the oxy acetylene torch but whit less heat and far awway i was able to see little beans of yellow gold but they finished melted like gold plated steel and eveporated it was aproximatively 0.8g of pure gold on the steel i used for that one...
So thanks for reading and every constructive comment are really apreciate thank you!!!!
