I remember I asked about the silver alloying process a long time ago and sree actually took time out and typed a response to me about it, I was pretty happy about that, I like how he takes time to really show and explain what he is doing and why. I wish we had more science classes like this in either k-12 or even college classes. On a side note, he is one brave man... Imagine if he got the reaction wrong while experimenting with his wedding ring. "I swear honey it got A LOT of views on youtube! Look I made you a pretty pink gold/silver lump..."

My take is that quartering au with ag is ideal. The demonstration between carat au Vs cu in the hno3 solution was amazing. Note: The carat au was unaffected but the cu finely separated into solution. The inquartation of 25% au with 75% ag cast as shot then boiled in the hno3 H20 solution several times resulted in three 9's au. Quite frankly it becomes obvious that low carat au is cast fairly often so it must do well. That said, I'm left wondering if graphite pour cubes shaped like 14 mm chess pieces are available or if you would need to cast using other methods. Probably 24 k kings, 18 k queen's, 14 k knights and bishops, and 10 k rooks would be interesting. Adding gems would be really fun. Cheers,✌️♥️👍 Kudos to the Mrs.'s

To those who ask why the senior chief doesn't start off by dissolving the 14K and 10K gold in aqua regia: Doing so would result in all of the silver turning into silver chloride, which requires a couple of messy reactions to refine back into silver, and the solution will contain base metals in addition to the precious metals. Inquartation, followed by a nitric acid boil, extracts the silver as silver nitrate, the base metals also go into solution, and only the precious metals remain as solids. Recovering the silver metal from the solution is a much less messy procedure.

May I ask a few questions? Would you get a slight blue color if you rinsed the gold with nitric acid before dissolving the gold a second time? Does the remaining silver stay in solution when you do the first precipitate, or is there a chance that some silver could be trapped in the gold particles as they precipitate out of solution? Also do you know the approximate particle size of the gold? Does that particle size differ with the gas method opposed to adding the sodium meta-bi-sulfate powder? Sorry not sure how that chemical is spelled.
@sreetips
Жыл бұрын
Blue color is copper in solution. Silver in solution is colorless, like water. Silver chloride is slightly soluble in hot water. But nearly insoluble in cold. That why I add ice. The silver chloride comes out of solution due to being chilled and then it can be filtered out. Might take several passes through the same filter to get it all. I’m not sure of particle size. The consistency is different sometimes. But I’m not sure why.
