nitric acid,hydrochloric acid & t10 to the second power

hey, what is t10 to the second power?

Whatever it is just multiply it times itself.

I think he's referring to this post --> http://goldrefiningforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=52810#p52810

I noticed that post referrng to aqua regia leach of ore, but he was referrng to something he read someplace, the (t) could mean ton, time, temperature, or reference to almost anything, rarely would aqua regia be used as a leach for ore, cost and waist stream make it more less effiecint than most methods, although for final stage of purifying gold and platinum groups, it is used widely.

I think T-10 was some type of leaching powder kind of like CLS from Action Mining. I checked my old hard drive to try and find any info I may have on it but couldn't find any info there or online.

that makes sense. maybe some common chemical for precipitation with a secret code name to disguise what it was, so they can charge you alot of money for their secret process.

maybe we should sell table salt for a secret silver precipitant, we could call it (aNlC), instead of NaCl, and sell it for $28.95 and ounce, of couarse we would also have to give instruction to our secret process. and they would not have good sucsess, unless they used our special ingrediant dihydrogenmonoxide, sold for a very cheap price of only $14.28 dollars a gallon plus shipping

Dehydrated dihydrogenmonoxide costs extra but saves on shipping. Just add Water.

Good thing we have such smart men as Irons on the company payroll, we may be able to keep up with the competetors in this economy, and fast rising precious metal market.
I think Irons would make a good candidate to take service call for the customer's having trouble with using the product, we need a man with gumptchun, grit, intelligent's, and wit, and with his knowledge of chemistry and saftey, we may even be able to compete with cash for gold.

dihydrogenmonoxide a near universal solvent, and one of the few safe enough to use in your kitchen. :mrgreen:

Thats funny Oz. :lol:
I call it squared. :lol:

[Platdigger]

Aww yes, but hard to come by in the dehydrated form...

 

[Palladium]

Aww yes, but hard to come by in the dehydrated form...

I think you can get it in sold form by the pound, but it may need refrigeration.

 

[dick b]

Sorry I can't help myself!

I get it in concentrated form in 1 qt size bottles for $7.99 + shipping. You mix it with three quarts of tap water to give you 1 gal of solution.

dickb :lol:

lol! You're all funny!

T10 precipitant is nothing more than activated charcole in a very fine powder used to strip precious metals from a spent acid solution. If the solution contains base metals, it will strip those as well. Go to a pet store that sells aquarium supplies and you can get it cheap. It is used to strip toxins from fish excrement out of the water.

Neutralizing the solution with baking soda ( sodium bicarbonate ) would do about the same thing, if let set overnight. The metals would drop out as a sludge in the bottom of the container due to the fact that sodium is near the top of the electromotive dissplacement series of metals when dissolved into an acidic solution. When a metal higher in the series is introduced into an acidic solution, it displaces all other metals lower in the series as a precipitate that can be recovered.

I have read quite a few "Come On" adds about "T10" in the I.C.M.J. (International California Mining Journal) magazine.

Sincerely; Rick.

How about the miracle T6?

Jim

Thanks for the reply.

I am not sure what T6 is, but most likely it is something similiar, such as ferous sulfate, which will strip gold from spent acidic solutions as well. It can be made by dissolving iron in a solution of 1 prt sulfuric acid and 15 prts water, filter the green to yellow crystals from the solution, then dry them. To use this material, dissolve some in hot tap water and add muratic acid, or hydrochloric acid a little at a time untill this solution turns a clear apple green. Add this to your spent aqua regia to drop your gold as a brown precipitate. Collect this precipitate and add some sulfuric to it to remove the excess iron, then filter it to recover the remaining material. This will be the gold precipitate which can then be smelted to produce metallic gold. The aqua regia method found elsewhere on this forum gives further details on this.

Sincerely; Rick.

Hi Rick
I was checking out goldmine world and they say that T6 is a precipitant, but also a powerful leach. I was just thinking about this when I read your responce stating ferrous sulfate. I just remembered reading in one of the old gold refining books on google about ferric chloride being used to leach gold, I will have to go back and read that old book some more.

Seems everytime I find something new(to me) I can find information on it in one of the old books, metallurgy of gold, metallurgy of the common metals are two google books that I have been reading.

Hello Jim, thanks for the reply.

If ferric chloride will leach gold, that explains why base metal deposits high in iron content, (such as sulfides like iron pyrite) contain micron gold bound up in solid solution within the minerals found there.

This makes a whole lot of sense to me, due to the fact that water at depth that is super heated by magmatic activity combines with gases from within the magma as they escape, producing acidic solutions that dissolve minerals out of the surounding rock, and redeposit them within the overlying rocks as the water makes its way toward the surface relieving pressure and cooling as it goes, thus precipitating its dissolved mineral constituents in accordance to soluability, and solidifing temperature.

I made a post on this subject in more detail under "The Rock Man", or "Washington State Gold Ore" under "Prospecting". Check it out.

Thanks for the reply.
Questions, comments, and suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
I look forward to reading and replying to them.

Sincerely; Rick.
