Is oxalic acid better than sodium sulfite to use for dropping gold out of AR?
Lou said:Not as gold metal per se, but rather something odd . Let's just say it dissolves, filters and melts like regular ol' gold!!
As far as oxalic acid goes: it is notorious for its use in removing palladium. 4metals, see my post stickied in Techniques on ultra high purity gold--you will likely appreciate that procedure.
Another pain in the butt about oxalic acid is that the solution has to be simmering. Ammonium oxalate actually works better than straight oxalic acid, should anyone ever want to try it!
