Mr Kevin, what amazes me more than any acid reaction, any precipitation, or any purity of gorgeous gold powder is your honesty and genuineness. In these days of videos flooding the internet with the sole purpose of deceiving viewers and people just wanting to make themselves appear special or skilled, here you are bringing REAL, HONEST content time and time again that's not just thoroughly informative and educational, it's very much exciting and incredibly wholesome. You Sir are one in a bilion, you're worth more than all the gold you've ever refined, you make the world a better place every day. You're truly an amazing individual, I hope you know that and never forget it. The entire internet says THANK YOU!!!!

Nice video friend. I just figured this method as well. I also realized not long ago that it is the SO2 reducing the metallic ions in solution, and not necessarily the SMB, or it's elements. SMB's oxidation to SO2 into SO2 oxidation, thus reduction of metallic ions for precipitation. Just wanted to mention it would be AMAZING to get some formula ratios for acid needed per weight of material. I also just got one of those 4000ml flasks which is ironic as well. As always great job!

The Inquartation method is a standard process, although nitric acid is usually used instead of sulfuric. The major shortcoming of not using nitric is the long processing times, which tend to increase the percentage of micro/nano particles of gold that can be lost in the acid replenishment and wash/filtering steps. If steps are taken for waste recovery, as Sreetips does, then this loss is less of a concern.

Thank you, Mr., Sreetips. I am probing alternatives for the recovery steps. Most of my source falls under the computer eWaste umbrella. Rarely i get some gold-filled scrap when I have a super cheap offer. My challenge is to use Nitric in the recovery is getting economically unviable for me now that my hobby has gotten serious. I am using Sodium Nitrate more for the first refine step as well and trying to eliminate completely the use of Nitric before the second refine step. The issue is the high proportion of Silver in eWaste and scrap jewelry. I gave up on refining Silver, I just keep Silver containing droppings (in any form of salt or elemental) in a special container for later recovery when the volume justifies so. Killing base metals with HCl, with HCl/diluted H2O2 has been effective to me .... except when the Silver amount is enough to kill me. I have an exceptionally large amount of Lab-grade ultra-pure Sulfuric acid (one day I tell the tale why), that might be an alternative for me. I use it mostly when I have a large volume of integrated circuits and I want to get too wet etch them. Even though the waste volume when using Sulfuric is enormous for me, I will likely try one time to probe to see if my ops cost keeps low.

I did a small test run with the HCl-bleach method to dissolve gold foils, and that worked very well too. Precipitation with SMB was complete and quick. I will be using sulfuric for IC chips, as they can have silver, gold, platinum, and palladium. Sulfuric helps split up those metals. But, the sulfuric needs to be poured off while still hot or else the silver sulfate will start precipitating if it exceeds the solubility limit at room temp. Sulfuric acid at 96C holds 4X the mass of silver as acid at 24C.

But now that I think about it would tin presence harm the reaction in any way? And if so how to get rid of it? How would this process work with tantalum capacitors? Edit: Scratch that thats stupid idea. Tantalum can't be refined like this. How about palladium from mlccs or other capacitors? How would you precipitate the palladium out of the solution?

Then you can do whatever like here using sulfuric to get the silver out, then refine with AP route as usual.
