Read MoreThe zinc causes a chemical reaction which separates the gold from the ore the gold is then removed from the solution with a filter press for the carboninpulp method the ground ore is mixed with water before cyanide is added then carbon is added to bond with the gold the carbongold particles are put into a caustic carbon solution
Read MoreMetals commonly alloyed with gold for jewelry purposes include silver copper nickel iron zinc tin manganese cadmium and titanium in addition to enhancing golds strength alloying changes some of its other properties too for example some gold alloys stain skin or cause allergic reactions the gold itself doesnt cause these
Read MoreAny gold which was trapped in the solution has now be come a brown precipitate at the bottom of your beaker retest with stannous chloride if your reaction still turns purple you need to add more stumpout it will take appox 10 hours for the gold to competely settle the solution should be clear at this point
