I have processed several batches of gold filled scrap using the process outlined on Lasersteve's "Processing of Gold Filled Scrap" video. All of the previous batches have been processed smoothly. On one batch, however, I am having a little issue... .
After completely dissolving the base metals with nitric acid, a large percentage of the gold refuses to settle out of the solution. I have attempted to dilute the solution with 3x volume of water and then boil, but, the majority of the gold still remains in suspension as it has been for approx. 2 weeks.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks again to all that contribute to this forum and all of the assistance / information that you have provided!!
