[@andersjjensen]

Going through the aqua regia step twice to make absolutely sure you can stamp it .999 is a nice touch. I hope you eventually get an autoclave that can go to 1100C and do controlled cool-down. The pour ripples are a nice artistic touch, but a bar which is a perfect mirror shine on all sides is it's own kind of gorgeous that would also be nice to offer customers. Getting the stamping right on one of those, though, must be doubly nerve wrecking.

It's a good question. I cover it in detail in other vids. But in short, in order for the nitric acid to be able to penetrate the gold and put the base metals in solution, the alloy must be apx 25% gold and 75% base metals ( such as silver and copper). Leaving only gold in the end.

Two great sources... CM Hoke's book "Refining Precious Metals Waste" and the goldrefiningforum.com I don't encourage folks to perform these experiments.

I trust you would learn everything needed to conduct them safely and treat the waste material, long before you did your first experiment.

[@buggsy5]

Overall, the gold refining forum is far better than Hoke's book - but I still consider Hoke to be the best starting point - especially the familiarization experiments. However, some of her procedures are overly hazardous for modern times and some of the processes are outdated. @@LithicMetals The Forum shines when you want to fine tune a working process or have a problem not discussed in detail by Hoke.

[@dr.lexwinter8604]

Not to take anything away from OP but; A jeweler won't reduce jewels (and historic coins) to bars, to other jewels perhaps, but not bars. This is scrap recycling, not jewelry making. A metallurgist is an entirely different career and field. And they definitely aren't playing with gold, it's mostly steel (the steel industry is a huge employer and are crazy obsessive when it comes to purity and alloys, etc - way out of my wheel house and quite a complicated field if you're bored and feel like reading up on it).

[@jimmanison]

@@dr.lexwinter8604 Nothing taken away at all honestly, though perhaps I would say my naming conventions aren't wholly accurate. It's a fully sci-fi/fiction setting, and I borrowed the term "Jeweller" from Goldfinger. Particularly the point where during the briefing with M & Bond, and I quote "Apart from being a legitimate international bullion dealer, Mr. Goldfinger is a legitimate international jeweler. He's legally entitled to operate modest metallurgical installations.". So perhaps if anything, I need to refine my definition of what my character is. So I appreciate you pointing it out 🙂

Very nice. May I ask, why don’t you use pure copper for your inquartation? We used to reduce our jewelry scrap to around 6 karat gold with copper and then an aqua regia process. Essentially identical to your method, but with copper.

[@LithicMetals]

There are benefits to using just copper. However, it takes nearly twice as much nitric acid to put copper into solution vs silver. So, using silver saves on nitric, and creates less material to process.
