There might be someone, but they will probably need proof first.
Do you mean an NIS assay? That will happen once I get a truck and trailer. I have had a couple good suggestions here concerning alternative methods for extraction but I am fully vested in smelting now so this is what I now need help with such as a better flux recipe and a procedure for getting my furnace hotter. I told the Administrator that I will support this forum when I am actually assisted successfully to convert my ore to cash! This has not happened! I am now looking for a more experienced group to support! I am not getting the needed assistance there!
Do you mean here? I've been looking for platinum group metals in bornite on the net no luck. Maybe you have a rare mineral good luck.
We can assist you and give you the answers to what you ask.
You are getting very good assistance here. The problem is either you are not communicating what you are doing, on the level the people here are knowledgable about, or you do not want to listen. Or you are plumb crazy. The advice posted here is very sound. Everybody says get the proper assay, yet you refuse to do that. This means you are basing a considerable amount of time and money, on some B.S. "feeling" that you are going to strike it rich. This is called " Gold Fever ". I have felt the same feelings as you, so know where you are coming from. I have learned to be methodical in my mining, prospecting, milling, and refining methods, as well as all of the moderators. I have lost a considerable amount of money, doing what you are doing now. You are trying to re invent the wheel. Please listen.
Using bottled oxygen will give you all you can get out of your furnace.
If you were paying attention then you would have known my situation by now. Your comment did not apply to what I am trying to do.
Thank you. I have gotten suggestions for smaller sized furnaces using oxy acetylene, charcoal and a blow dryer or heat gun for 3500 degrees so I may continue to try to find tune my new 10kg propane furnace which is supposed to get to around 2460 and will do better when preheating the propane. I was told that by preheating the propane, say maybe 300 degrees then the furnace will be 300 degrees hotter. Has anyone experienced this practice of fine tuning a propane furnace?
All you need to do is introduce oxygen to your propane burner/flame - you can do that using a good old regular air compressor - it only takes between 3 - 7 PSI output from the compressor to provide the oxygen to the propane burner/flame to bring the needed temp in the furnace
Per the bold print - Have you read what I have posted in your other thread ----------
If you have osage orange (aka. bodock) around your parts you can use that also. It is said to burn as hot as coal. I've had 1 log crack one of my cast iron roasting skillets (100 bucks down the drain)....
What makes you think that you need to get your furnace up 3500 degrees ?
REALLY ??? --- I don't know who gave you that advice but it sounds to me like a good way to blow yourself up !!!There is NO need for bottled oxygen --- he can get his furnace as hot as he need with a blow - an air compressor or an self aspirating burner !!!!!
There is still only 21% O2 in compressed air.
