Gold Ore Chlorination

Screen-Analysis of Crushed Sample

Experience has shown how difficult it is to obtain information regarding laboratory-tests in connection with the gold ore chlorination process for the extraction of gold from its ores, and I therefore present the following method, somewhat in detail, for the benefit of those who may desire to pursue research work in this field. The ore […]

Gold Bromination & Gold Chlorination= F(Silver)

Test

When dry chlorine gas is made to act in the cold upon finely-divided gold, it converts the latter with evolution of heat into auro-auric chloride, Au2Cl4, a hard, dark-red, hygroscopic salt. Moisture splits this salt into aurous and auric chloride, Au2Cl4 = AuCl + AuCl3 ; treatment with water converts it into auric chloride and […]
