I am new to the gold refining business and although i have spent many months gathering a lot of gold i have so
much that i haven't been able to properly sort it and remove every spec of dirt and dust. I am about to start
the refining process and before I add any chemicals i have a few questions.
I am planning on using aqua regia after a muratic bath to remove solder and tin because i am aware of the
problems that can cause, But i feel there is a reason to be very particular in the sorting process and
removing unwanted debris before the chemical process. Please any help from someone who has experience is
appreciated. Let me know if i am wrong or if my thoughts are correct about this worry i have. Thanks for the
help beforehand!
1. If i add my gold into the solutions will it cause me major problems if there is any debris like dirt and dust
or hair in the mix that was missed? How much will it effect my solution?
2. Will the grease off of my hand cause any problems from when i was removing the gold from the boards?
3. Are there any chemicals that will cause a reaction with the gold or other chemicals in the refining process
that i need to stay away from?
4. The orange Mylar connector pieces that are flexible and contain wire like connections i am not sure how to
refine those. Can anyone enlighten me on the technique.
5. Are there any tips from experienced refiners that i should know before hand regarding to any step of the
process that doesn't deal with my questions? Any information is helpful.
