Adding the silver, then removing it with nitric acid, does an amazing job of cleaning the gold in preparation for refining the gold with aqua regia. Trying to dissolve the gold "as is" has two major flaws: first, karat gold contains silver. The hydrochloric acid in the aqua regia will react with the silver in the karat gold forming silver chloride and make filtering a nightmare. Second, if the silver content in the karat gold is high then the HCl in the aqua regia would cause passivation. Passivation is a thick crust of silver chloride that forms on the karat gold and shields the gold from the acids. Once this layer forms it must be removed before the gold will dissolve. Adding silver and parting with nitric acid, if done correctly, completely eliminates both of these problems. If I tried to dissolve the gold without inquarting with silver then I'd still be out there trying to get the gold cleaned up, right now!
@sharudd

Ok I get the nitric acid to dissolve the unwanted metals. I get that the karat gold has silver in it. But why add the extra silver. That's where i'm confused. Why not just add nitric to the karat gold in order to dissolve the unwanted metals before the aqua?
@MrENT18
5 жыл бұрын
@@sharudd So I've done some research on this since asking this question yesterday. It seems that if you want to remove 100% of the gold from the karat gold (or as close as possible), you have to add silver so the gold atoms are further displaced by the excess mixed in silver. This makes it that the silver has less of a chance to inhibit the dissolving of the gold atoms by means of creating a protective layer/capsule around the gold atoms, thus ensuring the maximum amount of gold gets dissolved by the acids. As recommended by @Biomorphs in the comments, Cody'sLab has a great video on this (just look up "Cody'sLab Inquarting"). Hope this helps.

The ice cubes are made from tap water. Cools the solution and forces silver chloride out of solution to trap it in the filter. Sulfuric acid will combine with any lead forming lead sulfate can be filtered out to remove 100% of it from the gold in the filter. I won’t have excess nitric because I used just enough to just dissolve the gold. But if I do overshoot then I’ll usesulfamic acid to kill any excess nitric

I don't have any experience with minerals mixed with gold. All the gold I deal with come from scrap jewelry. I've never used mercury in any of my processes. But the karat gold can be inquarted with just clean copper or brass. No need to use silver. I use silver because I refine silver also.

You seems a little confused by the math so hope this helps Multiplying by 1.265 is just increasing your starting weight by 26.5% Multiplying by 0.635 finds 63.5% of your starting weight

the only one confused here is you... like what "starting weight" are you even talking about? i dont think you understood his calculations at all

he's right- the multiiplier makes ZERO sense - it assumes that 14karat gold is more 'pure' than 24k gold

@@antigen4 well, what he was trying to do was make both types of gold into the same karat.... its implies the 14k needs more silver to bring it down to the same level as the 10k

The way I'm understanding is that he need's a quantity of silver to gold. 10k has less gold therefore needs less silver, 14k has more gold and needs more silver.

I know virtually nothing about the chemistry of this process, but I was thinking that perhaps the nitric acid treatment might go a bit quicker if the inquarted gold was in smaller pieces. Could these pieces be made smaller by pouring the initial molten metal very slowly into the tap water? That way, the metal would be in a very thin stream when it hits the water and cools.

Could you show how you get silver from solutions obtained during the purification of gold?

Where did the filters go? Pardon my ignorance but would that not have added impurities when it was dissolved down or turned into a bar with the filter paper and the gold? Did you remove slag from the liquid gold?

Since nitric acid isn't cheap, that brown nitrogen dioxide gas we see is money going right out the fume hood exhaust. I'm not sure if it's cost effective or not, but you can bubble the nitrogen dioxide gas through concentrated hydrogen peroxide to reform nitric acid. The acid will be relatively pure, but you will likely have to distill the acid to bring it back up to azeotropic strength. Concentrated peroxide isn't cheap, but it may be worth a cost analysis. As you probably know, that exhaust NO2 just ends up acidifying outdoor precipitation.

It's probably not worth doing on a regular basis, but I understand that one can use a cell similar to the silver cell you showed in an earlier video to get four or even five 9 purity. I believe that's how the Canadian Mint does it to refine gold for their .99999 pure maple leaf coins. Just thinking that would make an interesting video.
