Hello from Colorado.

[Acres]

Hello everyone,

I'm Aaron, a paramedic and ski patroller from Colorado. I joined this forum to learn about refining some scrap electrical parts that I have lying around. Furthermore, I love learning about the physical sciences - I find them fascinating. I am currently going back to school for a degree in physics and chemistry, so learning the electrochemistry behind metal refining plays into my current path and may *hopefully* help with the financial aspects of going back to school. I look forward to learning what you have to teach!

All the best,
Aaron

Hi Aaron

Welcome on board. What kind of processes are you looking to try?

 

[Acres]

Well, I just happened upon this forum while watching some videos on reverse-electroplating. I am not sure which processes will be best suited to recovering the gold plating from my electrical scrap, though I suspect (based on my scant knowledge thus far) that I will be using an acid cell to de-plate the scrap and then dissolve the precipitate in Aqua Regia. It would seem everyone agrees that I should read the text by Hoke, and so I am doing that right now - it doesn't seem like too long a read. I should have a better idea of what I'm getting myself into after I am finished with that.

Do you have any other recommended reading? I just payed for a Scribd account, so if you do I can download it before my twenty four hours is up.

On Scribd, most of the good stuff has been posted by aflacglobal, username Palladium on this forum.

Unless Scribd has changed its policy recently, you can also get 24 hours of downloads any time you upload something. It's a pretty simple process, and it really doesn't matter what you upload. I put a lot of time into writing a summary of silver in U.S. coins to get my first 24 hours (I'm frugal, meaning I was too cheap to pay the fee). Or you can write a poem or a limerick. Or just upload something you've downloaded somewhere else. Just be sure you're not violating anyone's copyrights.

As you continue your journey you'll think of other terms you can search for there. I keep a list on my computer of terms I've searched, and terms I want to search, and go back from time to time.
