Purify Gold NEED HELP

[jparker]

I have jewelry and e-scrap im looking to purify. Im going to do a hydrogen peroxide and muriatic acid bath, then muriatic acid and bleach bath. Can I do both e-scrap and jewelry together this way or not? If not how would be best to do it?

Simple kiln and melt-fast-clean-get 99+-no chemicals and much less dangerous-John

I thought a kiln would melt the other metal along with the gold making it less then 99% of 24k?

That's what will happen, smelting is more for the hard rock miner.
If one has seen fine gold recovered from HR it looks like crap and is imposible to sell for a decent price, so we smelt, yes it will clean your product a bit, but will not remove the other than metals there just to much in jewelry.

Not sure if you've ever done this before but don't go forward without a fume hood. The fumes this stuff creates are extremely dangerous.

If you do, they need to be done separately. E-scrap contains numerous metals (silver, gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium, copper, iron etc) and can be a pain to extract what you want, and more times then not leave metal still in the solution if you're only going after one of them. IF you mix your jewelery with e-scrap you wind up with a more polluted solution and dropping can lead to problems and even produce contaminates dropping the purity of your end result.

so your saying that the bleach and muriatic acid wont take all the gold from the jewelry? that there is just too much other material there for it to work properly, or well enough?

Bleach n muratic ? I don't recommend anyone just read something off the internet and try, HIGH SPEED CHEMISTRY WILL KILL YOU.

I agree with that 100% so with that said is there another slow safer way to get it done?

I'm pretty sure that makes chlorine gas.
Be careful

bleach isn't gonna do much of anything except kill you when you just go mixing it with other stuff..
