Inquartation with sulfuric acid
Always dilute by carefully pouring acid into water. Using the concentrated acid to part gold and silver is not a good idea. It is just too dangerous. Nitric can be hard to get, and can be expensive, it is not a safe chemical but it can be worked with if done safely. With the sulfuric you may not get a second chance if crippled for life.

Gold Refining Purify Process
This is a free tutorial on gold recovery method using nitric acid to extract pure gold from old gold and scraps of gold by process of dissolving unwanted metals. When I use this refining method, I regard the purity of the gold as 22kt, and I alloy it accordingly down to 18kt or 14kt. This gives me a safety margin so the gold is a slightly ...
neutralize nitric acid in Aqua Regia | Gold Refining
Clean off the copper and dry put in plastic bag to cement with next time. The white salts wash in boiling water this will remove NaCl, lead chloride if decanted hot (let white fluffy powder settle before decanting), some excess water-soluble salts like urea or SMB, and other base metal chlorides.
65% Nitric acid | Gold Refining & Metal Extraction Forum
Moderator. Your nitric acid will be fine for AR, but you will need to adjust the amount used to dissolve the gold. The normal recipie is 4ml:1ml; 31% HCl: 70% Nitric Acid per gram of gold to be dissolved. So you will need roughly 4.67 mL of 15% nitric acid to 4 ml of 31% HCl per gram of gold to be dissolved.
Some Nitric Acid Questions | Gold Refining & Metal …
Sep 20, 2020. Messages. 260. Oct 28, 2023. #6. I would have to think that the best way to "neutralize" nitric acid would be to add more silver until it is all consumed. If you're processing silver in an electrolytic cell, you must be using a feedstock.
Refining Karat Gold and Silver Jewelry using Inquarting method
Aqua Regia (AR) is the combination of Hydrochloric Acid (HCL) with Nitric Acid (HNO3). Together they have the capability to dissolve gold and platinum. Some AR recipes calls for 4:1 or 3:1 HCL:HNO3 and then neutralize the excess nitric acid (Dnoxx). With our method you won't need any neutralization, simply because you will not use excess nitric ...
Unable to Precipitate silver from Nitric Acid | Gold Refining …
Jul 20, 2023. #3. Martijn said: Reverse plating water cell creates silver oxide, which is black. it is not 'deposited' on stainless steel bowl, that is done with nitric. it just stick to it or settles there, i imagine. In a salt water cell, you will create silver chloride. Silver chloride does not dissolve in HNO3.
amount of nitric acid needed
Close approximations: - 7 pounds of silver per gallon of 70% nitric - 100 tr.oz. per gallon - 26.4 tr.oz per liter - 822 grams per liter - 1 gram per 1.22 ml For your 110 grams of silver, therefore, it will take about 134 ml of 70% nitric. For several reasons, these figures never come out to be exact - due to reaction temperature, amount of dilution, …
Easy homemade 90- nitric acid
The method simply uses a commom glass, a wine-cup glass type inside it and a HDPE sheet (with ice) above the larger glass container to resfriate and condensate the HNO3, that will drop inside the wine-glass cup. Since thermal conduction along the wine cup rod is poor, the collected nitric acid will suffer minimum re-evaporation.
silver refining with nitric acid
Oct 7, 2012. #1. can someone please help me . I submerge my silver concentrate ore in nitric acid and stirr it several times for a period of 24 hours. I then remove the acid and put it through a coffee filter until the acid is clean. I then use NaOH to neutralise the acid to a PH of 6 to presipitate the other metals out of the acid solotion.

Processing Sterling Silver without nitric acid | Gold Refining …
The bowl weighed 25.2 oz (713 g). I cut the bowl into pieces and melted it down into a bar slightly smaller than a US dollar bill and almost 1/4" thick. I processed the sterling bar using electricity (12V 10A battery charger) and and electrolyte of left over copper nitrate from previous inquartations and cementing reactions (see on my website).
Nitric Acid Substitute. | Gold Refining & Metal Extraction …
Standard 67-70% Nitric is usually used in 2 ways: (1) full strength when making up aqua regia with HCl and (2) diluted 50/50 with distilled water to dissolve silver (or, certain base metals). (1) For aqua regia, the 50% could be used with little sace in speed. (2) For the equivalent of 50/50, 70% nitric, use the 50% acid and add 27%, by ...

How Is Gold Refined? A Brief Overview
The aqua regia gold refining process involves the use of highly corrosive chemicals to allow gold ore to reach purity levels of 99.99%. The chemical combination includes the …
What Happens When You Put Gold in Muriatic Acid?
Reactions. Two separate reactions take place in the gold-dissolving process. The nitric acid acts as an oxidizing agent, with three molecules of the acid each donating a proton to gold to give it a positive charge of +3. Concurrently, chloride ions resulting from the separation of HCl into its components combine with the newly oxidized gold to ...
How to Refine Gold With Nitric Acid | Sciencing
To refine gold with nitric acid, you will first need to blend the nitric acid with hydrochloric acid to produce aqua regia. Then, you will need to …
Using Nitric Acid prior to AR.
The residual nitric in solution has to be eliminated to drop the gold or it keeps re-dissolving and eventually you get a red cloud when the peroxide is exhausted and you're burning off the residual nitric. To prevent this use sulfamic acid to kill the excess nitric, unlike urea, it does not generate the red NO2 cloud.
Gold processing
The bead is boiled in nitric acid to dissolve the silver (a process called parting), and the gold residue is weighed. If platinum metals are present, they will alter the appearance of …

Waste treatment: Neutralizing the solution will leave it at pH 7, (neutral) with a whole bunch of chemical toxic salts left in it. Raising the pH in steps, filtering in between and doing so up to pH 11 will ensure the chemical salts are pushed out to below acceptable emission levels for disposal.

So I put roughly 200 grounds this silver that I explained some of ...
Aqua regia a lot of SMB...
Aqua regia can be 4 to 1 .or. 3 to 1 or just drop by drop nitric . You need heat .stannous chloride .very important and urea to make sure you don't have access nitric .and then precipitation . You have to do it step by step .and test with stanouss as you go .and it's deferent factor if you have other metal with gold.
