Hello, it was suggested I introduce myself. I am an amateur home refiner who got started by watching Sreetips on YT. I am a complete newbie, but I have taken the time to 1. Read Hokes book, not saying I completely understand everything in there though and 2. I have invested in converting my garage into a home lab paying attention to safety with fume hood, ppe, etc.
I've so far processed about 7 toz of gold from old karat and gold filled scrap. Ive tried some electronics recovery but that stuff confounds me. e.g. Normally HNO3 turns blue/bluish green when removing base metals (copper, iron, etc), but with electronics is such a mix of things, like right now I have a batch where the HNO3 has turned reddish brown with a fine brown silt, from some electronic boards where I was after the gold and palladium, anyway I'll get it sorted filter and calcinate I guess.
Glad to be here and around folks smarter than I, so thats my rather long winded Hello
