I did what you did on the video with exception I did not use acid. Here are the result:
1st experiment: Used meshed copper wire, response was slow and ended up with little gold and more gold left on the scrap gold. Final result, little gold with lots of copper.
2nd experiment: Used solid copper sheet, end result little gold with huge ball of copper.
3rd experiment: Used meshed copper sheet, end result almost the same.
4th experiment: Used stain steel rod on cathode and anode, better result but the stain steel rod was dissolved. End up with a brown sludge. Filtered sludge, some gold which needs to be melted to separate the garbage from gold.
Questions:
1. What is the brown sludge?
2. How do you separate the sludge from the gold?
3. What are some alternative to using acid?
Any help will be greatly appreciated..
