I Just got a crazy Idea to recycle gold jewelry to get my own bars of gold. I have spent a LOT of time reading how to do it and troubles people have encounter. This week I should be buying all the materials for my new hobby. Wish me luck.

P.S. GREAT forum, best one i found by far!
P.S. #2) I am an analytical chemist an thought i would have an edge, but i feel like suck a rookie looking at all your advanced comments :mrgreen:

Your credentials should be useful, as you have a leg up that many don't have. You understand chemistry!

Do yourself a big favor, especially if your interest is in processing karat gold. Read Hoke's book and digest the contents well. While you're most likely very familiar with the handing of chemicals, you may not understand the mechanics of refining in a useful way. She'll make that easy for you. And---do all of the familiarization procedures she provides. They help tremendously when it comes to identifying metals.

You'll realize that some of her "recommendations" (tossing on gasoline freely being one of them) are not to be followed, but the basics of processing gold she provides are very good, and will yield an excellent product, assuming you follow her instructions.

Welcome to the board.
