One can see clearly the SO2 gas beeing dissolved and in turn pushing the gold out of solution.

  • @indeeditdoes i added some SMB to a dark mix of muriatic acid and clorox and at the bottom its like a whit paste, what do you think this might be?

  • @LongBean420

    Probably Cupper (I) Chloride...

    Siphon the solution and cover the solids with fresh HCl, it should dissolve and produce a yellow solution.

  • so does this liquid actually produce real gold???

  • @Arnold34251

    This liquid is actually gold, bot at it's elemental form, but in ionic complex with chlorine and hydrogen.

  • Will this also drop copper? What can you do if there is a lot of dissolved copper in the AR along with gold.

  • @gourp

    yes, Cupper (I) Chloride tends to co precipitate along side gold.

    Depends on the concntration and temp' of solution.

    The CuCl can be dissolved later with HCl.

  • @indeeditdoes hello just off the topic a little, im trying something i added electrochemistry to a dirty muriatic acid and peroxide solution and on one of the drywall screws there seems to be a build up of something like a brownish slim would that be copper or gold or a mix of everything?

  • @LongBean420

    The gold would stay out of solution as brwon or black powder

  • @indeedItdoes i bet its pretty expensive than lol
