Dlog Renim,
it sounds you have a lot of work to do, a lot of reading and studying, yes it will take time, I have been at it for several years, and I am only scratching the surface of things I need to learn, but if you are patient and persistent it is easy and fun.

Here are some places to start.

General reaction list, welcome to new members, Hoke's book (a must read), Laser steve's web site, dealing with waste, and of coarse any subject that catch's your interest.

After reading these you should have a fair understanding of where and how to begin.



It is best to study all you can about a process before you begin, and understand the principles, that way you do not have to go study to figure out where you lost your gold.

Every thing is free, and is provided for you, but we cannot just put the information in your head, you have to do the work yourself to get it in there.

Welcome, Have fun, you have found the best place to learn about these metals, how to recover and refine them.

Dlog Renim,

Laser Steve's web site has a few free video's, His website also kind of outlines several of the processes used with electronic scrap.

I do not envy you having to translate the material; a man has got to do what he has to do...

I would concentrate on translation of Hoke's book, the general reaction list, and Laser Steve's web site.
Laser Steve sells some very good video's, at a fair price, when and if you might be interested, GSP has a great book also, if after studying you have some question these friendly fellow refiners are glad to help anyone who is working hard to learn.

In Hoke's book you will learn the foundation of recovery and refining, if you do her getting acquainted experiments, you will understand how these metals react in acid, this will be a tremendous help when dealing with electronic scrap, understanding the principles she teaches, will give you the ability to deal with most anything that comes along, she does not describe how to deal with ore or the electronic scrap, her focus was on helping the jeweler, but what she teaches any miner or electronic gold recover-er and refiner, can use to help him get nice pure gold, and other metals, and deal with most of the problems he will run into while doing it.

In your first post you were talking about a cell, I assume you were meaning the concentrated sulfuric acid gold stripping cell, Laser Steve has posted much on this process in his early posts, I am also fairly sure you will find information about it on his web site, He did not invent several of these processes but he was a very big player in developing their use in what we are doing, Steve is very smart and creative, and has been a major player to learn from, too bad with his new job he has not had the time he used to have to help us develop more techniques.

No he does not pay me to advertise, I just feel his information has been so helpful.
