Hello members,
I have been running my sulfuric cell for my gold recovery and it has been without any problems at all. However, I'm stuck at a certain point and I need some advise.
No# 1. Since this batch is only 8 grams of black powder, how much hydrochloric acid am I supposed to use? By the way, I simply used 70 ml of it and it completely covered the black powder that is still in a pyrex dish. I started to transfer the powder first, but I noticed that after the incineration I did on the filter and powder last night, alot of residue was stuck to the dish, so I decided to just add the acid to the dish, instead of the transfer first.
No# 2. How long does the acid need to sit in the dish before I can transfer it? I noticed that the dish was still letting off steam/fume/gases after I added the solution approximately an hour ago.
No# 3. Once the solution cools down, do I transfer it to a beaker, then decant the acid out, then add more acid, then add heat to it? Once I add heat to it, how long must I keep the heat going?
I've been rereading this thread here, the 2nd post on page 5. I'm now at step 12:

Other than the above questions, everything is going well, without any problems at all. Hopefully, I won't have any more questions and I can then just pop up a gold button in the "Gallery", but I'm sure I may need to ask more questions to make sure I'm doing everything correct, plus I want to be able to say that I refined e-scrap and made a gold button.
