But in a solution with a high chloride content, some of the silver can form a complex and stay in solution. When you dilute the solution, you lower the chloride content, and the silver chloride will precipitate out of solution. Filter till the solution is crystal clear and you should be able to eliminate silver as a contaminant in your gold.
EU. Oct 18, 2022. #2. SO2 is quite soluble in water also at higher temperature (significant also in boiling water), so boiling the SMB drop cannot easily accomplish the thing. You …
This weekend I tried an experiment with precipitating gold in a couple different ways. I have easy access to SMB, but was looking for a second way to more selectivity isolate the gold and get better purity. So, in my searching I found a couple different methods. I think the obvious one that...
By mixing your aqua regia at 3:1 you easily added excessive nitric acid. The result of not eliminating that free nitric from the solution is that every time you drop the gold out of solution, the free nitric acid reacts with the hydrochloric acid and the newly precipitated metallic gold and the gold re-dissolves.
The mining sector provided US$544 million to government coffers in 2018, more than 30 percent of the state budget. After deposing President Alpha Condé, Guinea's new military leader, Mamady ...
Also, Dip your SMB solution and stannous test it. This may be revealing. Somewhere I read that, one of the reasons for diluting your impregnated solution, is to get the ph off 0. When I've gotten myself in a mess, I've made a NaOH solution and slowly increased the ph. The SMB will have less of a fight precipitating the Au.
Step 11: Recovering Your Gold. Recovering your gold in solution is one of the Coolest steps. Whats needed, a plastic spoon, and the sodium Bisulfate or Stumpout. Simply add very small amounts of stumpout, Your Mixture should start to look like the pictures I …
Here is a short video I produced to demonstrate the technique I use to drop gold using Stump Out purchased from Home Depot (about $6 per pound). I have gottten good results so far using this process. Please give comments or suggestions if you see anything improper. If dropping gold using this method will hinder the recovery of other …
Gold extraction is the extraction of gold from dilute ores using a combination of chemical processes. Gold mining produces about 3600 tons annually, and another 300 tons is produced from recycling. Since the 20th century, gold has been principally extracted in a cyanide process by leaching the ore with cyanide solution.
Currently, the thiosulfate gold leaching operation at the Goldstrike mine, Nevada, of Barrick Gold Corp is the only large-scale gold extraction plant with an …
Well, the SMB drop was horrible. I added a solution containing about 80 grams SMB (same SMB as the good Batch 3), dropped gold, but solution still showed gold (SnCl2). As I had no more solution, I started adding SMB powder. Every time I did, the solution would bubble and give off sulfur gasses. Yuck.
The extraction of gold from its ores and its recycling from waste materials represent significant technological and environmental challenges 1,2,3,4.Alternatives to …
Which usually means no more free nitric. The metal is ionized and has made a bond with the acid components resulting in a metal nitrate or chloride in this case using Aqau regia. The less reactive metal salts in solution will be displaced by the more reactive metal. This more reactive metal will go in solution.
3.3. Selective reduction of gold in PGM solutions. The classic process involving reduction of gold to metal from chloride solution is a simple and effective process that is well suited to batch operation. A large number of reagents have been used, namely hydrazine, SO 2 gas, oxalic acid, bi sulfite, sucrose and others.
7) Added urea (no real fizzing observed), then used the Shor Quadratic precipitant and heated it. 8) Waited about 2 hours - no gold drop. 9) Added SMB and heated to about 80 degrees C for about 1 hour - no gold drop. 10) Stannous test: instant dark brown and NO purple and a small trace of "white/silver".
I use SMB in the solution free of oxidizing agents got tan cream drop, hows it look to you? I got an idea, what to do next, but would like to know what, the normal accepted procedures, recommended by the forum are? WIZ
Moderator. The SMB can be used dry or wet it works either way. The key is to use enough SMB to reduce all the gold to a metallic state. This usually requires 1 gram of SMB per gram of gold to be reduced as a general rule of thumb. If you don't get all the chlorine (HCl-Cl reaction) or nitrate (AR reaction) out of the solution the amount of SMB ...
Hi all, I have been dropping gold out with iron sufate (copperas) for a long time with only once I did not get rid of all the nitric acid. Now I have tried to use SMB with nothing but problems. The gold just will not drop out and I need help to understand why. there are now 3 lots that nothing has happened and the more I try to do something with it …
Most evident to me is the fact, that you added much, too much SMB, and so created a big mess. 500 grams SMB are sufficient to precipitate nearly 700 grams of gold. To precipitate 1.00 (one) gram of gold, a minimum of 0.72 g of SMB is needed. Regards, freechemist. Ordered list.

The gold concentrations ranged from 2.5×10 −5 to 5.84×10 −3 mol/L. The results in Fig. 8 indicate that more than 99% of gold could be extracted from a solution containing 2.5×10 −5 –1.65×10 −3 mol/L gold with 0.18 mol/L TOMAC after 0.6 ks extraction. Percent gold extraction began to decrease when the gold concentration …
The amount of Oxalic acid needed is 1.15 gram for every 1 gram of expected gold metal. This ratio represents a 20% excess in Oxalic acid to ensure all of the gold is reduced in case there's too much nitric acid left in the original AR solution. - Add the Oxalic acid to the gold solution and turn up the heat of the hotplate/mantle until a gentle ...
Here is what Hoke states: In another vessel, dissolve in warm water about a pound of green. copperas for each 50 pennyweight of fine gold that you expect to. …

1. It is usually when I have refined or leached something and I don't know how much gold is likely there. My understanding is that you can use the same amount of SMB in grams as the amount of gold you have in solution, but as I said, I don't know how much is there. 2. The gold concentration is too low and I should probably be evaporating …
It was easy to collect and wash. The black material was then melted directly with a torch and produced a shiny gold ball. Aqueous solutions of AuCl3 react with aqueous base such as sodium hydroxide to form a precipitate of Au (OH)3, which will dissolve in excess NaOH to form sodium aurate (NaAuO2). If gently heated, Au (OH)3 decomposes …
SMB (Server Message Block) is a client/server protocol that governs access to files and whole directories, as well as other network resources like printers, routers or interfaces open to the network. Information exchange between the different processes of a system (also known as inter-process communication) can be handled …
That early batch of SMB was lumpy, just as LazerSteve warns about. Since I've got the new SMB all is good. I still think I get more complete drops with copperas. With SMB, even if I leave it in contact with the dropped gold overnight, when I wash the gold powder with HCl to clean it, I end up with gold in the HCl wash, which I have to drop again.
Jan 11, 2012. #6. any gold that may have dissolved into solution would have plated back out long before the process finished so theres no need to add SMB.re-use the AP solution as its already loaded with copper chloride so theres no need for peroxide,just add a little fresh hcl when you start your next batch. B.

The gold powder stays in the same beaker you precipitated it in. Add just enough water to cover the gold powder and boil for 5 minutes (Removes undissolved and water soluble salts) Let settle and pour or siphon off the water into the stock pot. Repeat three times. Add just enough muriatic acid to cover the gold powder.
us here like to remove as much base metal as possible, pretty much all of it for most reactions. 1.2 times the amount of SMB to gold weight. urea is not recommended here for AR. search the forum "urea" and see, it's very popular method on YouTube, not …
Wht you describe, is typical for low concentration dirty solutions. Perfect description. The blackish color is from drag down of other metals and will need cleaning up to produce high quality gold. When the drop comes down and stays a lighter brown color is a goodbsign of decent purity.
Florida. Sep 5, 2007. #1. All, Last night I processed some foils from a batch of AP with HCl-Cl followed by SMB and the gold powder came out very light colored without washing. The color of the solution was orange and took two additions of SMB to drop all the gold. I wanted to share these snapshots of the powder with the forum:
