What would be a good way to use the HCL?
A thought would be to just let it all soak. It would take some real time I suppose. Another thought would be to use a cell.
If I have nuggets of melted karat gold, would the HCL also work on the base metals whithin the melt?
Dang, I am so new to this, I do not even know the questions to ask. I have been reading and reading, and reading this forum for days. I have read so much the information seems to disappear like water in a collander.
I guess, what I am looking for, is how to get my elemental gold free from the alloy and then seperate it to realloy.
I will tell you what, I have met on this forum some seriously helpful folks. I mean, good decent answers. This forum is so full of information. My head spins.
I also thought I might start small. Real small. Some gold filled, not much, but enough to see what happens. A nugget, probably less than 1gm. Just to see what happens.
Then, how do I get the gold out of the solution? Or does the gold remain. Perhaps inquartation and forming grain to process.
