Welcome.
It is a nice hobby but with plenty of dangers.
Here are for your studies.
We ask our new members to do 3 things.
1. Read C.M. Hokes book on refining jewelers scrap, it gives an easy introduction to the most important chemistry regarding refining.
It is free here on the forum: https://goldrefiningforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=19798
2. Then read the safety section of the forum: https://goldrefiningforum.com/forums/safety.47/
3. And then read about "Dealing with waste" in the forum: https://goldrefiningforum.com/threads/dealing-with-waste.10539/

That’s one reason why we encourage new members to read and understand what is actually occurring in the reactions and any potential dangers involved , safety is the most important part of this hobby.
