Not a good start mate.
This is an International forum and many members rely on translators.
So by not even trying to correct errors and then using slang like "yall" you make their life much harder.
So please try a bit harder.

We ask our new members to do 3 things.
1. Read C.M. Hokes book on refining jewelers scrap, it gives an easy introduction to the most important chemistry regarding refining.
It is free here on the forum: Screen Readable Copy of Hoke's Book
2. Then read the safety section of the forum: Safety
3. And then read about "Dealing with waste" in the forum: Dealing with Waste

Suggested reading: The Library

I have to echo Yggdrasil. Having lingering issues from stroke several years ago, I work very hard to make posts readable and translatable.

Every post you make will be translated by members using several dozen languages. If you are not proofreading and correcting your posts prior to uploading, you are doing yourself a disservice and confusing others.

Honest mistakes are easily forgiven, and easily edited. Having an attitude that you will not be taking care to make your posts comprehensible may shorten your stay.

Time for more coffee.

Hello!
As a typical cynical autistic perfectionist with thick fingers, I had to reply. Therapy did not work for me.
I have no medical condition causing writing mistakes, thank 'someone' for that, but I hit the backspace button more than any other key on my phone.
it's a fact of life, no so much a problem on a cookie baking forum, but unacceptable in hydrometallurgy where we give advice that can shorten someone's life if read wrong.
A little grammar fault here and there will be forgiven, no problem.

Please take the time to write chemical names and such correct or galenrog will be right. Your stay wil be short.

Nonetheless, welcome to the forum. This is a treasure of info and lots of other knowldegde present with our members. Have fun! and be safe.

Thankyou and yes I respect the chemicals because they can hurt mame or kill.well like on nextdoor I was complained too the administraem. all i did was told people about the power of a lie. - references to the holocaust removed by FrugalRefiner - that's all that was the reason why they booted me off I'm not a bad guy I just started it out with that saying when I started out with my introduction just to get a feel of who was who by the first impression of what they they wrote about me or what I wrote about it told me volumes of y'all

Please use proper English.
Y'all is not proper English.

Next, this is a forum with focus on the science of refining precious metals.
Your starting anecdote has nothing to do with refining.

Have you started your studies from the links I gave you?

 

[Martijn]

references to the holocaust removed

We don't discuss such things here because it has nothing to do with refining and usually leads to conflict in some way.
I have a very strong opinion about a lot of things but keep them to myself. There are other places for that.

Now what are you planning to recover precious metals from?

It’s 2023, most rely on autocorrect. I feel it takes more effort to make errors than to not…but what do I know
