I was processing some bga chips and decided to give smelting a try so I measured and fluxed the concentrated material and added in some silver and melted the crucial. I got a bead that grew by 2.3 grams.
I had previously smelted a bead out of bga material after I had treated the material with nitric. 3.3 grams of some dirty looking gold.
Then I took both beads and another 2 gram bead of some real dirty gold and put all three in a melting dish to inquart with 18 grams of silver, melted and then corn flaked, all is good.
Then treated with nitric,rinsed and dissolved in aqua regia and got a weird color solution with a fluffy undissolved material in the pics
What could the material be to survive nitric and then aqua regia.
I definitely had some silver chloride. I have since melted it into a bead.
This is what it looked like in the filter
