Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing gold of high purity from nitrate-containing Precious metal solutions.
- a method for producing a gold powder from particles of certain Size and shape revealed which is characterized in that a gold salt solution with a reducing agent, namely 1) hydroquinone or bromine, chlorine or low Alkyl substitution products of hydroquinone or mixtures thereof or 2) oxalic acid, one Alkaline salt of oxalic acid or mixtures thereof or 3) combinations of 1) and 2) in the presence of a protective colloid is reduced at a temperature in the range of 20 to 100 ° C.
- a reducing agent namely 1) hydroquinone or bromine, chlorine or low Alkyl substitution products of hydroquinone or mixtures thereof or 2) oxalic acid, one Alkaline salt of oxalic acid or mixtures thereof or 3) combinations of 1) and 2) in the presence of a protective colloid is reduced at a temperature in the range of 20 to 100 ° C.
- the problem that arises is in particular in providing a process for producing high purity gold using just a few steps.
- the nitrate in the noble metal solution is destroyed in a first step, for example by adding a reducing agent to the heated solution.
- the gold ions are then reduced to gold by adding an acidic Fe 2+ solution, the concentration of H + of the Fe 2+ solution being at least 4 mol / l.
- the precious metal solution previously prepared free of nitrates has a concentration of H + ions of at least 4 mol / l.
- step b that is to say the addition of an acidic Fe 2+ solution to the nitrate-free prepared noble metal solution, is carried out in a potential-controlled manner, since in this way the end of the reduction is relatively easy to recognize and targeted process control is thus possible.
- nitrate destruction with formic acid or ascorbic acid is carried out because these substances specifically reduce nitrate to NO, but not gold ions.
- the end of the reduction is announced by a significant drop in potential.
- the end point is at 560 mV vs. Pt // Ag / AgCl to determine the necessary purity of the gold while at the same time to achieve optimal gold yield.
- the residual gold content in the mother liquor was 7 ppm or 0.08% of the gold used.
- the purity of the gold sponge produced meets the 99.99% fine gold criteria according to the Amercian standard.
- the following were found as impurities by means of GDL analysis: Ag 11 ppm Cu 1 ppm Pt ⁇ 3 ppm Fe 12 ppm Pd 25 ppm Mg ⁇ 2 ppm Rh ⁇ 1 ppm Mn ⁇ 1 ppm Ru ⁇ 1 ppm Ni ⁇ 1 ppm Al ⁇ 1 ppm Pb ⁇ 3 ppm Be ⁇ 1 ppm Sb ⁇ 5 ppm Bi ⁇ 5 ppm Si 15 ppm Ca ⁇ 1 ppm Sn ⁇ 5 ppm Cd ⁇ 5 ppm Te ⁇ 5 ppm Co ⁇ 3 ppm Zn 2 ppm Cr 1 ppm Total: 67 ppm corresponding to> 99.99% gold purity.
