Good day Members,
I have been sitting back and quietly reading and following several post that have my interest. I thought this would be the best time to introduce myself. My name is Jeremy, and I would like to thank the members and moderators for putting this forum together for the general public. Most people that have achieved a higher level of learning, especially those with a cost attatched to it are not willing to share, so thank you. My current employment is with one the largest precious metal refiners in the world. For the sake of conflict ( and possibly my employment), I think it would be in my best interest not to disclose the name or any of the proccesses, feed stock, waste streams etc, etc..... so without sounding arrogant, I would kindly appreciate no inquiries about such.
My interest have brought me to recovering precious metals from base metals just to be able to say that I have achieved this knowledge. The chemistry side has my brain in overtime. Rest assured, I will NOT be asking " how much can I get from this". Knowledge should not be given unless an effort is made to acquire it. I may ask what something is, or do you think this would work, and thats probably about it.
I am currently in the phase of stripping my feed ( I have my equiptment already, safety protocoll in place) and will seperate shortly. I have been recording all of my data with the hopes of keeping an accurate log of materials, chemicals, measurements, reactions and such. I would like to submit pictures of my efforts so that I could get feedback if anyone notices a red flag or a more stream lined way. I am 36, married with two young children and do not want to injure them, myself, or someone else. With that in mind, I wish everybody the best in their endevours and remind everyone to practice safety first and thank you for accepting me into this forum
