Hello sir, copper seems to be better indicator, if the nitric boil is clean, however nitric consumption is like 4x higher (I calculated it some time ago, I remember x3.5 or something). Also, clean silver is "byproduct" when using silver inquartation, so to disolve it separately is another amount of nitric. If clean gold is priority, copper definitely has advantages. If economy of process is priority, silver is way to go... That is my take from todays video. Thanks...

Wonderful video, Mr Sreetips! But everybody knows I'm the REAL Copper Inquarter! 😆 Let me give you some advice, good sir. When you do your nitric acid boils to remove base metals... for copper inquartations, measure out 4.2ml of nitric acid per gram of base metal and add a little more nitric acid for good measure. For 10k, you can use the 5.2542 constant multiplied by the weight of the karat gold to easily determine how much nitric acid in ml is required. For 14k, you can use the 7.3584 constant. Use this same amount of distilled water for your nitric acid dilution. Let the reaction progress for about 3-4 hours until there are absolutely zero fumes left. Then decant this base metal solution and rinse the gold well with distilled water followed by a distilled water boil. This distilled water boil with remove all remaining color deep within the gold. Rinse a few more times with distilled water then perform a second nitric acid boil. You will notice that this second nitric acid boil will produce zero fumes and zero color. Allow this second nitric acid boil to progress for a good 30 minutes for good measure, then decant and save this unreacted dilute nitric acid for a future refining. Then you can rinse the gold with distilled water a few times and perform another distilled water boil followed by a few final distilled water rinses. You can then proceed to dissolving the gold in aqua regia as usual. I have followed this procedure multiple times and it never fails and produces stunning looking gold. Again, great work, sir! And thank you for the wonderful content! Cheers! Copper Inquarter

Senior Chief, I'd like to insert my two cents here. You always make the statement "Silver AND base metals". I gold refining there are only two. Gold, and base metals. Silver is a base metal. I believe you might reach a lot more people if you referred to silver as a base metal instead of it's own. And then explain that you also refine silver and so you use it as a base metal to refine gold and that jump starts the silver refining process, which is a side process to the gold. I hear you trying to explain the inquartation process over and over and I think the issue is you are describing the refining of two precious metals at once, instead of refining gold and everything else is a base metal. I am not being critical of anything you do, you have actually helped me more than I can even begin to say. I love your videos and look forward to each and every one. Semper Fortis.

@@sreetips Most definitely a fume hood! Wouldn't even consider it otherwise. I'm trying to get a handle on price of entry into the hobby. Specifically I was interested in the glassware, since you seem to have a lot of various types and sizes of beakers, flasks, funnels, etc. I assume it's like most hobbies, the deeper you get the more you accumulate, but what do you consider the bare minimum needed to get started? Also are you picking them up at yard sales, Amazon or at the Lab Supply?

I buy my glassware on eBay. I had a chemistry lab in my basement when I was in 7th grade. This is more or less a carry-over into my adult life. I just bought the glassware as I needed it. You should be able to watch the videos and take notes. That’s what I did. But back then, there were no videos like mine to refer to.
