Recovering Gold from Silver nitrate and Zinc Solution

[ashapura refinery]

Hello to Everyone.

I have a solution which is a mix of Silver nitrate, Zinc and Gold. Is there any method of recovering the gold from such a solution?

Looking forward to replies. Thank you

What is the form of zinc? Zinc chloride?
What is the form of gold? Gold chloride?
What is the pH of the solution?

Have you tried cementing with copper? This will drop everything below its reactivity series.

The other question which is pretty important - how MUCH solution are we talking about?

Is there any gold worth recovering, if it's only a nitric solution you shouldn't have gold in solution, is this the pour off from inquarting? If so simple filtering should remove any gold particles.
