Casper,
Many like you come here thinking you can just wake up one morning and get gold from mixing chemicals randomly or from asking a few questions.
Or they think they can learn from watching a video, and mix a bunch of dangerous chemicals and toxic metals and then ask a question to get their gold back with no clue of where to dump the toxic waste.
They also get angry when the answers to the questions are not what they wish to hear.
Why is it, there so many books written on these subjects, if it was as easy as just asking a question or two and you could become a professional mining engineer, or metallurgical chemist or gold refiner if it was that simple they would not need books to explain it.
Well, I say they need to study if they wish to learn chemistry, or the processes of refining and recovering gold. There is no way I could help them understand what they need from answering a question or two.
Why ask a question on a forum, if you do not want to read? Are you not planning on reading the answer to your questions and learning from it? what is the difference if the answers are found in a book?
Where the book can explain it much better in more details...
Where you can learn more than that baking soda changes the pH or that it can form oxides and hydroxides with the metal cations in solution, or that it would not work well to precipitate gold from an ionic soup of metals...
The fact is you would never learn this from asking uneducated questions on a forum, and then crying when the answers are not what you wish to hear, os spoken in a way you would understand.
It would not matter how many questions you asked, without you doing your own study on the subject, they could not be answered in a way that would help you.
Everyone here is willing to answer questions, and to help you get started learning these skills, No one said do not talk or ask questions, The do say to read and study if you wish to learn, and they will also help you when you have a questions and need help with
YOUR study of this art and science...
If you wish to learn we can help.
If you wish to be led by the hand down into a rabbit hole, well then this is not the forum you are looking for.
Study and read and ask questions and then also share what you learn to help others.
