I have to disagree - did you read the post in the story I provided a link to --------
https://goldrefiningforum.com/threads/safety-learned-the-hard-way.22914/
Copied from that story -------
And he tells me - I was using HCl to dissolve away the SS (no H2O2) then AR on the foils & SMB to drop the gold
It was taking huge amounts of HCl to get rid of the SS & in the process I have "ruined everything" in my garage & even stuff in the house & it sent me to the hospital twice - once because of breathing problems from the fumes & once because I got acid in my eyes from the mist when looking in on a reaction
Also in my MANY YEARS of refining I have been able to tolerate a small whiff of nitric fumes whereas even just a small whiff of HCl will make me cough --- every time !
