So the process of inquartation "dilutes" the gold in an alloy to a concentration which allows the use of nitric to attack the base metals in the alloy ... Aqua Regia won't dissolve gold unless it is low concentration ... or high concentration ...
So ....... What if you inquart in reverse? Instead of adding base metals to lower the karat to 6k, you ADD fine gold to raise the karat to a level high enough to refine?
Would that even work?
