@@chrissinger101 He does get his silver back. Sreetips adding silver to his gold is a method called inquartation. Sreetips adds enough silver to his gold to get around 6-7 karat gold pieces. Then he puts nitric acid on to it until all silver and base metals are taken out of the gold thanks to the nitric acid. All the silver, copper, and the other base metals are in liquid form in the blue/green liquid you see in his videos. There's other videos he's posted showing him taking the silver out of the liquid form and refining it as well. Sreetips explains the whole refining process much better than I did, just watch the videos and you learn over time how it works, as I did.

For anyone curious, although inquarting is usually done with silver to lower the gold percentage to 25% or lower, you can actually go the other direction and raise the gold percentage to 75% or higher. Inquarting will work for both scenarios as long as the concentration of gold is between 0-25% or 75-100%. The only difference is with the 75%or higher method, you use aqua Regia directly. It will still form silver chloride, but the silver is so dilute in the 75%+ alloy that it does not passivate or block gold atoms from being dissolved. You end up with silver chloride in chloroauric acid solution rather than gold metal in silver nitrate that you get in the more classic 25% or less method.

If you have excess nitric then you can get rid of it by evaporating the solution down to a syrup. Then rehydrate with hydrochloric acid. I’ve done it many times. Or, put the solution in a very large beaker (to avoid a boil over) and add ice (tap water ice ok). The just keep adding small amounts of SMB until all the nitric gets consumed. Add more ice as needed. Use a BIG beaker. If you have 43g in 500ml if solution then use at least a 2 liter beaker. Four liter would be better. Keep adding SMB until no more fines evolve and the gold stays precipitated. I’ve used both methods to completely eliminate excess nitric.

Sorry for the stupid question but do you file or like… grind the gold bar to make it look perfect. Like to have nice edges and smooth surfaces? And obviously use the shavings for other refinings? I know you send to a refiner but I’m just asking do you ever try to make a perfect bar or is that something you haven’t done yet? If not, you should do a video of making a perfect, branded sreetips gold bar
@sreetips2 жыл бұрын
I’ve never tried to grind or polish any gold or silver bar. They look fantastic right out of the mold. And will look exactly the same days, months, or years later. Unlike base metals that will begin to oxidize immediately, gold will keep its newly acquired shine forever. That’s a unique property of gold.

I got a few questions here. 1) You state that your treatment with nitric acid dissolves and removes platinum. But all I found about this is that platinum is undissolvable in nitric acid. So how is it possible here? 2) You add sulfuric acid to the muriatic acid to precipitate any lead. But lead is dissolved by nitric acid, so how would there be any lead left in the gold? 3) Why is it necessary to dissolve the gold in aqua regia? According to what you wrote, the gold is already very pure after the treatment with nitric acid. What things can you remove with aqua regia that you didn't already remove with nitric acid?
@sreetips2 жыл бұрын
An alloy of platinum 5% or less with silver 95% or more, and all the metal will dissolve in hot nitric. Lead, even in trace amounts, ruins the ductility and malleability of gold. I add sulfuric as a precaution even if I don’t suspect the presence of lead. It hurts nothing, costs almost nothing and provides a big benefit. The gold is very close to three nines just like it is. But the only way to get it there is to refine it with aqua regia.
@sreetips2 жыл бұрын
Just look in the filter after 1st refining to see bits of dirt. And it’s the only way to get all the lead out.
