Do you have a video on how to dispose of the chemicals. I read that to neutralize the aqua regia you would need sodium bicarbonate but it didnt say the process. Before i get into refining i want to know the safest waste practice to protect the local environment
Thank you! I haven't found rolling truly saves much acid and can take a little bit of time depending on your roller. (My roller's manual) Pouring shot is definetly easier.
What happened to your chute you made to make silver shot. I figured you would use that after you melted the gold with the silver to form the shot. Glad to see your back now…Love your videos!
Hey Anthony im currently refining gold in this process, im storing the blue solution away for refing the silver out, im just struggling to find your video on that part of it?
Not really, be sure to use enough SMB and be sure to collect all of your waste and let it settle for a few days after you refining. All of the gold will precipitate. If you are ever in serious doubt add iron to your solution and everything will drop out and you can start over.
@anthonythomasfmg thank you very much! You have been the most interactive and most knowledgeable individual in metallurgy. Sorry it took me so long to thank you. The email was categorized in "social," which doesn't notify me when an email comes through. If I may ask, what are the best crucibles you have found, and where is the best place to sell the refined, pure gold? Thank you again for your time.

Is it possible to part inquartered gold using something other than nitric acid like maybe piranha solution or anything else? Nitric acid is just very expensive and I don't have distillation apparatuses and everything required to make my own of sufficient quality but I can easily get my hands on sulfuric acid and possibly others that aren't so restricted and / or costly
Inquarting gold then parting it with nitric acid then refine it with aqua regia, how much purity we can get from these steps, is it always more than 999 purity? Cause I see most of refiners do the same process but they refine gold 3 times in aqua regia which consume a lot of time and acids
Good question... Not always 999, depends on your procedure and the material I start with. Gold plated will always take more steps than karat gold because there is so much more base metal. Perfect procedure also makes a difference vs sloppy procedure. Ultimately you can get 999 with one refining if you start with cleaner gold and you use your very best procedures. Thanks for watching!
Pure gold should be combined with silver to dissolve properly. AR is poor at dissolving pure gold. I suppose it would dissolve over a period of time but combine with silver then go nitric to remove silver then the gold is broken down into its cement form and AR works fast on it then.
Good job. I've always liked cleaning the copper and silver out with Nitric Acid first, I am not sure why so many people dont do that.
Thank you for subscribing! Many ways to clean up gold and I think this is my favorite way too.

Fellow yourube refiner! Great video! New subscriber!
Awesome! Thank you!
When did you nuetralize the nitric and what did you use?
Very nice... pure gold color is so goldy... is better pour shot or roll thin sheet?
Thank you! I haven't found rolling truly saves much acid and can take a little bit of time depending on your roller. (My roller's manual) Pouring shot is definetly easier.
I love to see that color change after the first spoonful of the SMB is added so awesome.👍

Thank you! Got one coming up in December with the lava slide.

So was that powder looking stuff gold this is my first time watching this process very interesting.
@@cookinitmax Yes! Brown powder that shines.
How much will it be after converting it to 750 gold?
Question two, if we process the same gold one more time, how much will its weight decrease
Is there any risks/mistakes that can make some gold dissapear in the solution like boiling it for too many hours/ being sloppy ?
Not really, be sure to use enough SMB and be sure to collect all of your waste and let it settle for a few days after you refining. All of the gold will precipitate. If you are ever in serious doubt add iron to your solution and everything will drop out and you can start over.
Try adding some sulphuric acid to the gold solution before filtering. Helps to precipitate out any lead that might be in solution during filtration.
Good afternoon, Anthony. I am having a hell of a time finding 100% HCL. Where can I buy HCL? On that note, 100% Nitric Acid as well?
I actually read what I wrote. That was a dumb question, being as 100% HCL would be a gas. What is a good percentage to use?
The HCL I use is 32% and the nitric I use is 68%. Ace hardware is a good bet for finding HCL and I buy my nitric from lab alley online.

Does the heat have a low medium and high option
@@hustleusa Yes, I can adjust the heat. If you’re talking about the furnace it has an electric blower.
@@anthonythomasfmg what do you set it at when your using the beaker , is it okay to ask what brand it is ?
If not much to ask for
love it!
Did you tested that rod on xrf machine ?
I plan to in a coming video.
How do i got 300 grams with this process

Uses aqua Reja gold button doesn’t dissolve can you explain this please?

We never got to see how good your guess was on cutting that bar at the end. Lol
If I recall, I was off by about a quarter inch! Lol
No stannous chloride test? 😮
Kind of sure of yourself aren't you...? 😊😅😂
