DetailsSince no change of volume occurs when these alloys are formed, their densities may be calculated from those of gold and copper. The density of standard gold is 17.48, and that of the alloy containing gold 900, copper 100 is 17.16. For the densities of other gold-copper alloys. Many of the alloys have been used for coinage at various times.

DetailsThe following reasoning may be speculative so take it w/a grain of salt: aqua regia is a very strong oxidizer forming the NOCl complex (3:1 HCl:HNO3) it will dissolve your current materials of construction the gold CN complex will likely dissociate forming soluble Au chloro-complexes a portion of which may be reduced to elemental Au on the activated …
DetailsThe Gold Refining Process by Aqua Regia was introduced at the Pretoria Mint after the Miller process had been tried and abandoned owing to the alleged difficulty of treating …
DetailsThis device allows a faster and more efficient leaching process, in both the aqua regia and the nitric acid refining technique. The rotating device is useful in the aqua regia refining process in presence of silver higher than 10%, reducing the chance of un-dissolved material and increasing the efficiency of the process.
DetailsGold is a highly required material for a wide range of personal and industrial applications. The high demand for gold, together with the shortage of natural resources and high pollution potential of wastes generated during mining and ore processing activities led to search for alternative sources of gold. A possible source is represented by mine …
