Helloi am new to the site.
I am currently working on an industrial sized agua regia machine processing up to 5kg per cycle currently we have processed gold of 92 percent and above on the machine with good results. We now have a client who is wishing to have us process gold that is coming directly from the mines at 60-70 percent, we expect the material that we need to be separated to have copper or silver in large amounts due to the location of the mine.
Starting with copper can anyone give a detailed account of how to remove excess copper,so far we have been advised to add more copper still to force a separation. Is this correct and also is this the only way to achieve the seperation. If there is a separate machine that Be bought for instance to convert the original 70 percent gold to a higher amount by removing the excess copper before moving to AR we would like to know. If it is just a matter of a chemical process that has to be done to seperate the copper from the gold , can anyone let us know. We are talking industrial amounts of course.
For the silver seperation process we have also been told to add extra silver,
So the question for silver is the same as the above question for copper
thanks in advance
