Hello from South Korea

[Suwon Fish]

Hi guys,

I want to get my feet wet in scrap gold in the next month or so. Lots of research to do yet and really enjoying this site!

I came to this by a curious route. I just got divorced and was offered the most insulting price for my wedding ring in a jewellry store. I was going to throw the ring away then I thought and thought....

I'm living in South Korea so I may have some unusual problems (Korean mafia, fake gold, archane laws). I'll keep you ladies and gents up to speed as the story unfolds ^^

My thanks for what I've learned so far and thanks in advance for any help I may get in the future.

Take it easy,

Suwon Fish

Hi Suwon Fish,
Let me be the first one to welcome you to the forum.
It is the best place in the world to learn the art of refining and recovery of presious metals.
The forum is just chock full of helpful and the most accurate information you will find, no where else, in the world.
Such as the safety section,and the guided tour.also there is a link to Hoke's book that will teach you most all of what
you will need to know.
Unless you have a photographic memory,it will take some time to learn the proper procedures,and how and when to use them.
Take your time studing and learning them and then you will be very sucessful at this interisting art.
Always remember safety first.
By the way cussing is not allowed,words like ,boiling,and urea,are prime examples.lol
as you read you will understand what i mean.
I wish you great luck and prosperaty in your future endevors.

:lol: :lol: :lol: I don't dare to ask Harold, if it would be ok to make an exception: "Boiling and urea!" ...sounds better than the worst cussing! Words full of power like the witches in MacBeth. When shall we three meet again. In thunder, lightning, or in rain? - When values boiled and urea's done, When the battle's lost and won. - That will be ere the set of sun. - *only kidding* maybe as nice metaphores: "Boiling pregnant solution" = "...losing values..." or "Used urea" = "...made a dangerous mess..."

hoped those two words would just slip by,
but i noticed you caught them with your eye,
i just hope your not a spy.
you caught them so easily with your eye.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, I certainly wasn't expecting poetry ^^

U#ea.... Can't this be used to bring AR to pH 7? A penultimate step if you will....

Time to read through Hoke!

U#ea.... Can't this be used to bring AR to pH 7?

Assuming it could be, why would one want to?

Time to read through Hoke!

Ayupppp! It certainly is.

One does not (normally) recover values by changing pH. Typically, the objective is to achieve selective precipitation. I can only assume that one might find a reason to do otherwise, for reasons best known to that individual.

Wedding ring?

I remember well when I divorced my ex, how I took mine out to the shop and removed the diamonds with a hacksaw, then processed the ring. It held no value to me aside from monetary. Good riddance to bad rubbish was my thought at the time, and has been bolstered by the wonderful 36 years I've spent with my second wife.

Choose a mate wisely-----they can be the worlds greatest reward, or your worst nightmare (the nickname I assigned to my ex, and well founded).
