This is why it's crucial to rinse the gold well with several distilled water boils and not just cold rinses prior to aqua regia. Distilled water boils are able to rinse the gold and remove the remaining base metal nitrates much better within the honeycomb structure, resulting in the cleanest gold possible before proceeding to aqua regia, which is the ultimate goal of base metal removal. As you say, the more time we spend in the base metal removal process, the fewer complications we encounter in the gold refining process. This theory also applies when it comes to rinsing the gold prior to aqua regia. This is very important! Other than that, great video Mr Sreetips! Nice looking bar! Thank you!

Hey @Sreetips. Love your work. Had a bit of an idea... See if you could consider pulling it off. So the total amount of (above ground) gold on the earth is estimated to be equivalent of a cube of gold with a side of 21.4m. Therefore, if you made a cube of side 2.14cm, you'd have a scale model 1 to a billion, of the imagined cube of all the gold we've ever mined... and you'd have 'exactly' a billionth of the earth's gold in one awesome little cube. It would be hard to do, I'm sure. But you're the man to pull it off! Wylis

Would it be worth the time to break up the gold sponge after you have done maybe 5 nitric boils to break up the gold more to give it more contact with new surfaces to make sure all your nitric boils are effective? It seems you waste a lot of good nitric on the 5th and beyond boils because it doesn’t seem to consume all the nitric to take the silver and base metals out. Maybe instead of pouring those off, you give it a stir and move the gold around some to break up the sponge. Is that even possible?

Sterling Even at 92.5% silver (7.5% copper) has a silver color to it. You silver shot looks very copper colored, more like 75 to 80% Silver.

@sreetips

Yes, some of the gold will depart in the finely atomized droplets that get ejected from the beaker. Covering with a watch glass will minimize it. Even better is to heat it gently so that it doesn’t boil. It’s the turbulence from the boiling action that causes atomized droplets to form. Reducing heat so that the solution doesn’t boil is by far the better option. I always boil mine because I’m in a hurry and in a rush to publish my video. Don’t do as I do, do as I say and you’ll be fine. Reduce the heat. Even then you’ll probably still see yellow liquid condense on your watch glass cover. There are losses all along the way. Minimizing them will depend on the skill and technique used by the refiner. If I wasn’t making videos I’d probably do a lot of things different. When that camera is running I’m tensed up and tend to make errors. I’m going to refine a batch of karat gold later this weekend. And I’m not going to shoot video of it. I’m putting the camera away, taking it nice and slow, and try to regain some of the enjoyment I used to get practicing my hobby, like it was before I started using that pesky camera.

There's a new BBC article on "India's army of gold refiners face new competition", and there's a sentence at the end saying: "They are moving away from using nitric acid to purify gold, instead switching to Aqua Regia, which is less polluting." I was thinking, "Hey, I understood that reference!", thanks to these videos. It must mean that previously they had been doing the nitric acid boils on inquarted material, and now they are dissolving the gold instead. I'm not sure, if it was really meant to say that they are doing this as an alternative, rather than to reach an even higher purity which they are talking about in the next sentence, given what we learned here that #1 dissolving scrap gold-filled material in Aqua Regia is a no-go, because too much is wasted, and #2 the more dangerous fumes come from the second method, even with incremental dosing of nitric. And no masks on the guys in the photo. Although the photo is about the melting, which is the most photogenic part, of course.

Karat gold can be dissolved straight away in aqua regia. But two nasty problems can happen. 1) it will put everything in solution, creating a very dirty solution. And there will be a lot of silver chloride that slows filtering. 2) passivation. If the silver content in the karat scrap is high then the hydrochloric in the aqua regia with react with the silver in the karat gold, form a hard crust of silver chloride on the karat gold, and shield it from the acids. It must be scraped off before anymore gold will dissolve. But of course, the passive layer of silver chloride will re-form and scraping must be repeated. Both of these problems are completely eliminated by first inquarting with silver (or clean copper) then parting my with nitric BEFORE going to aqua regia. Inquarting is the easier softer way.

I keep thinking If it was not more advantagous to pour a bar of inquarted gold and stretch it between rollers before submitting it to the nitric boils. The nitric acid would not have to penetrante as deep as into the large, irregularly shape chunks of.shot. This might save on time and nitric acid expended.

I tried it once. Having to fight with the rollers, annealing the bar repeatedly. It was just too much. I’d rather let the torch do all that work for me.

@@sreetips I understand, alloys are always harder than their constituents and tend to work harden as well. I'm always fascinated by your work. I am a retired chemistry lab assistant, I understand the chemistry behind your work but have never worked with precious metals myself. Greetings from Berlin, Germany.
