Low Molybdenum Recovery in Copper-Moly Flotation Circuit
In a flotation locked cycle test, a poor/low moly recovery was obtained at 47.3% as it appeared that molybdenum had not reached equilibrium. The calculated head grade trend, shown in Figure 8-28 indicates that the moly and most of the other elements had not reached convergence when the test was terminated. Figure 8-29 shows the […]
How To Use Mercury To Recover Gold
Forever and ever, mercury has been used to recover gold, fine gold in particular. When it comes to chemicals like Hg, one must be careful. THE DANGERS OF MERCURY AND NITRIC ACID Mercury and nitric acid can kill if swallowed. Nitric acid can be absorbed through the skin, causing nitric acid poisoning. WEAR RUBBER GLOVES! […]

How To Use Aqua Regia To Purify Gold
THE DANGERS OF AQUA REGIA: When adding aqua regia to ore, there can be use a red gas given off; THIS RED GAS CAN KILL Sometimes the ore will bubble over, so watch it carefully. Use the aqua regia in an open area and it to the ore very slowly. Aqua regia cannot be boiled […]
Fluxing And Smelting Silver Ore
Equipment Used For Firing/Smelting Ore Furnace Or Oven For Firing/Smelting: It must heat to 1950 degrees F for gold and 2100 degrees F for silver. A muffle furnace is best. It fires to about 2300 degrees F and the ingredients can be easily added to the ore while firing. Crucible: Clay or graphite crucible to use in […]

THE DANGERS OF NITRIC ACID Nitric acid can be absorbed through the skin, causing nitric acid poisoning. WEAR RUBBER GLOVES! Nitric acid cannot be boiled or simmered in the house or where it is not well ventilated. It causes nitric poisoning. You will hurt in every joint of your body and it can kill you. […]
How To Clean Gold with Nitric Acid
Gold acts like a sponge and absorbs nitric acid. This enables the nitric acid to clean the gold, such as gold nuggets or free gold taken from black sands. Most gold found in nature contains other metals, but some of these cannot be taken down in nitric acid (such as the platinum family). First; The […]
