goldenchild said:Generally, the reason for a darker precipitation is a dirty AR solution aka drag down. Filtration is very important after digesting all your values. It could be the difference between needing to refine your gold once or twice. Did you remove all the base metals before going to AR or did you go straight to AR?
Read Hoke!Renaldas said:There are some base metals dragged down with gold?
butcher said:...I presume the more base metals in solution the more gold it will retain left in solution...".
chemist said:How you refine depends on what you want as the end product.
Harold is right. Hoke gives you the proper procedures for getting to near 99%. The forum members here can provide you with the techniques for pushing past 99% to 99.99%.
But, if all you want is to concentrate the gold (let's call it 95%), then the dragdown of other metals from dirty AR is acceptable.
What level of fineness do you want?

I prefer to achieve 995 and higher.
If I took this black powder and boil it in HCl several times, rinse it, it becomes nice brown powder. Dont you think this is enough to get 995 and higher?
