chemicals needed for gold extraction
« on: August 18, 2010, 05:17:34 PM »
Greetings:
Hi! I am currently doing a mining project, and have excavated a small amount of gold.  However in order to properly separate the gold i need a few chemicals.  I am looking for sodium sulfate, potassium cyanide, and calcium sulfate.  Any help with these would be appreciated.  Thanks

I do not think it is legal.

In addition to that consider also that KCN is extremely dangerous to handle, i think you should use a fume hood or something like that...

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
