I have jumped the starting gun by posting in the Chemicals category of The Basics section showing my true colors as being cheap. Hoping to get a lot for hardly nothing and grant you this place has a lot for hardly nothing already in the way of refining knowledge and helpful people. I'm a new gold prospector in Eastern Tennessee, who has acquired many cell-phone circuit boards to process on a share. I have a brainiac son that I told I would like to smelt all my black-sands to get the gold out and he suggested to go the chemical route for it is the purest form of recovering and refining gold. So I did a Goog and found this place with videos and instructions not only to refine gold but the other precious metals to boot. Yep got my brain juices running now. What trouble would I get into if were to strip off the solder and components with muriatic acid and rejuvenate the acid with peroxide and air stone? Then boil the boards in a lye solution to remove the green enamel solder mask. Is it reasonable to try to precipitate every metal that is incorporated into the board except Aluminum, Iron, Lead and Tin of course? If so it seems I would refine the metals in some kind of a sequence, right? Oh by the way Randy is my name.
