I am a hobbyist refiner and I have been using sodium chloride to refine my metals in the past, but now I have looked at sodium Polyacrylate, it's a super absorbent polymer but I read on The American chemical society publications that it can be used as an electrolyte.

Quick question, if I used sodium Polyacrylate in small amounts, Suffield to not fully absorb the water in the solution. Along with copper electrodes, what kind of reaction am I looking at, I'm not sure what will occur, that's why I'm asking you fellas who are more knowledgeable than me .

Thanks
 
Am I right in thinking you are using a saturated salt water stripping cell to recover gold ?
I ask because you threw me mentioning refining.

Yes sir!
Sorry about the confusion. I didn't mean to throw you guys off with that. But yes. That's exactly what I'm doing
