Electrolysis

06/12/2007 5:49 PM

Hello!

Is it possible electrodeposite gold in an electrolytic cell for silver refinement? being the electrolyte AgNO3 and the anode is "Dore" with 98% Ag and 1% Au. Because i have problems of contamination of gold in the refined silver. I suppose that it is by mechanical actions but I want to discard the possibility to be for electrolysis for some fail in the operation.´

Regards

Electroplating refinement should result in a substantial reduction in the gold content in the newly deposited silver on the cathode.

OUR FIRM HAS DEVELOPED A SYSTEM THAT PRODUCES 99.999% PURE AG FROM "STIRLING/MELTED COINS/JEWELRY AND SCRAPE VIA ELECTRIC DEPOSITION IN ONE "PASS" OR NITRIC DIGEST AS YOU INDICATE FROM AN ANODE. SUPERIOR PURITY TO A MOBIOUS OR THUMBS CELL.....MUCH FASTER

IN ANY TOTAL WEIGHT QUANTITY IT WOULD BE FASTER/CHEAPER/MORE ECONOMICAL TO SOLUBLIZE THE SILVER IN NITRIC, FILTER OF THE FLUID TO RECOVER THE GOLD %, CONVERT THE SILVER (DILUTE AgNO3) TO SILVER CHLORIDE, FILTER AND FIRE FOR THE SILVER...ANY RECOVERED GOLD WILL FIRE DOWN BY SEPERATELY SMELTING THE FILTER PAPER{NOT PURE] DOWN. YOU SHOULD REACH 99.5% PURITY OR BETTER WITH THIS PROCESS. ............COMMERCIAL GRADE AG SPEC...........

THE RECOVERED GOLD ON A 500 T/O LOT WOULD (1% = 5 T/O AU) AT 1% BE WORTH AN ADDED HALF THE REFINED AG VALUE....TODAYS SPOT ON BOTH METALS....

VALUE IN TODAYS MARKET + - $9000.00 BOTH METALS ON 500 TROY OUNCES OF STIRLING.

WE OPERATE A AG/AU REFINERY DAILY, ALSO FAB POT FURNACES AND OTHER SPECIAL MINING/REFINIG/SMELTING EQUIPMENT AND PROCESSES.
