I HAVE A 50 GRMS OF 24CT GOLD,THE BAD NEWS IS THE WAS MIXED WITH .300MIL GRAMS OF IRON, HOW CAN I REMOVE THE IRON ,PLS HELP ME
 
Are you asking how to remove 0.0000003 grams of iron from 50 grams of 24kt gold?

If so then I would sell the gold as is.

If you are asking how to remove 0.3 grams of iron from 50 grams of 24 kt gold ( 0.3 / 50 = 0.006 = 0.6%), then you can refine the gold with AR practicing good washing plus melting methods listed on the forum and remove the majority iron.

Along with what Lazersteve suggested, you can consider melting the gold/iron alloy with silver. Silver and iron will not readily alloy, and gold has a greater affinity for silver than iron. Given the opportunity, this is one of the rare cases where you can rely on stratification for separating one metallic element from another.

A cone mold to receive the melted, fluxed material would be desirable.
