What pH should a solution be to use zinc as a precipitant. Is it pH 3 ? It is said in some of the literature that the pH alters as the zinc is depleted (for want of a better word). Do you then filter out your PM and re-adjust the pH back to pH 3 ? Then add more zinc until no further reaction is taking place ? It has been said gold will precipitate only within a defined pH range. Can someone help with this question?
