Sphuri acid, hydrogen peroxide and hydrochloric acid 30%

[JAyhew]

Good evening I'm one of New ones

I've been trying get hold from my very rich ore using the above mentioned chemical, dissolve with then lastly add hydrogen peroxide then use sodium metabisulfite to precipitate, a white precipitation accumulates T the bottom and now I have 3 60liter drum filled with yellow water what am I doing wrong.

Would someone just share with me precise step by step process or should get nitric acid.

Please help.

What are you doing wrong? Everything, absolutely everything.

Stop.

Stop before you kill yourself or someone else. Putting ore in acid can, and often does, generate toxic gas.

Now you have a 360L drum of poison to deal with.

Stop. Just stop.

Send a sample of your ore off for an assay, it will tell you what you have and how to recover any gold.

Don't do anything else until you have that certified assay in hand.
