Hi guys!
I don’t know how, but I am getting worse results with better material and more knowledge. Since I’m posting this perhaps I have less knowledge
The process I use is HCL and hydrogen peroxide to dissolve the base metals as first stage. I have had success in simply melting the gold filtered from stage one and success refining further with AR and precipitating with SMB.
Attached pictures show my current solution which was high quality pins and pieces from old 1970’s/early 80’s servers and survey equipment. I had about 7 ounces after stage 1.
I now have a blue fluid which looks like what silver refining would look like, but the AR was only applied to gold material post base metal dissolving. Everything looked to be pure gold!
Any ideas on what happened? I am trying to cement part with copper which is producing a white/silver chloride looking precipitate and have set aside half of the solution to use SMB. Is that wise? Any help is appreciated, sorry I am so dumb.
