Wow. Those foils were deceptive. I thought you had a mountain. Congratulations though Qwethen, you solved the problems and got your gold. I saw you "cheers" the beaker. Great vid, thanks for sharing.

Nice video and result when u have massive materials then the best way is electrolysis !!

If you control the current during the process, you can produce some very large, and nice presentation grade copper crystals with this process. I've got one that is 2kg with some very nice dendrite growths.

Yes, because in this way, due to the high current, it is not able to layer sufficiently continuously and falls apart.

@@qwethengoldrecovery Start with a lower voltage until the cathode surface area grows. I'm sure there is an optimum current in amps/unit of surface area, but I have no idea what that value might be. My cell was running on a 5vdc power supply and some current manipulation could be accomplished by varying the electrode distance, and thus resistance, in the tank.

I avoid peroxide like the plague! I had some plated phosphor bronze pin materials and had all the gold disappear. I surmise that the ≈8% tin in the alloy formed stannous chloride and stannous tested all the gold into a colloidal solution of Purple of Cassius. Never have figured out how to separate that from the copper chloride. So I also developed and tried to use a TAPP cell (Titanium Anode Parting Process) similar to what you came up with.

Try the first filter of the foils with a piece of woven poly shower curtain material. Impervious to hydrochloric and catches foils nicely. Reusable for years. Inexpensive microfiber sheets/pillow covers also work. Then you can Charmin plug filter the sludge, if you have any.
