Also worth asking whether you want the Nitric acid to dissolve away base metals, or only to refine the gold at the end. If you are wanting to dissolve away a lot of base metals, then you really need reasonably concentrated Nitric acid, if you are just wanting to refine some foils, the PMAR or even bleach will do the job.

Next add about 100-200ml nitric acid (depending on your dish size). Let is work for an hour or so then go back and add a little more acid if need be. The reason for this is 1. To save money. and 2. Because too much acid will chew through the copper under the silver diminishing from silver quality.

The most important thing to know about the HCl/Clorox method is that this was NOT the chlorine method employed to recover gold from ores in the 1890's. By using so much hydrochloric acid, the pH is lowered so far that the bonds of the oxides are broken and base metals are put into solution instead of gold.

Location. birmingham. Aug 13, 2017. #3. Welcome to the forum. We advise using sulphamic to rid nitric if an excess has been used but the best advice is to cover your material with plenty of Hcl and slowly add small amounts of nitric until you get no reaction, this should eliminate the need to neutralise the nitric.

If you start with 70% nitric, dilute it 50/50 with distilled water, and heat it, it will dissolve sterling silver of the time, without fail, without exception. Actually, it's not even necessary to heat it, although it does speed things up. If the metal does not dissolve, it is not sterling silver. And, like qst intimated, if it isn't ...
