Sodium Nitrate. A commonly used dry substitute for nitric acid when making aqua regia. This compound is significantly better than nitric because: It is far less hazardous. Fumes are reduced by 90-95%. it is more easily obtained.
ContactWhile this guide is focused on gold refining, aqua regia will also work for platinum, and includes tips for refining types of platinum. Whether you’re refining gold using nitric acid, sodium nitrate, or MX3, the procedure is essentially the same and pretty simple and straight forward: Metal is dissolved into solution.
ContactAncient proceedings from Ammonium chloride and Saltpeter to obtain Aqua Regia through Hydrochloric Acid and Nitric Acid 3:1 often leads to Fulminating Gold. This real explosive, which caused considerable injuries and death between alchemists, could unexpectedly be just over the corner. Labors of Hercules were so exhausting ( and still are today)
ContactAqua Regia: Dissolving Your Gold Step 1: Add Your Acid Get a clean plastic or glass container and place your e-scrap into it, and ensure you have your desired dissolving agent handy.
Contact2021. 2. 5. Gold dissolves in aqua regia because there is a redox reaction: The nitrate ion oxidizes the gold in the presence of $\ce{Cl-}$ ion into $\ce{Au^3+}$, which combine with the chloride ions to form $\ce{Au(Cl)4-}$ ion. In this reaction, the presence of $\ce{Cl-}$ ion is important because it reduces the $\ce{Au/Au^3+}$ couple's potential as follows:
Contact2021. 3. 21. Hobbyist gold refiners use sodium nitrate to make a hybrid aqua regia that dissolves gold and other metals. [citation needed] Less common applications include as an oxidizer in fireworks, replacing potassium nitrate commonly found in black powder, and as a component in instant cold packs.
Contact2018. 6. 21. Aqua regia consumes itself and decomposes under formation of nitrous gases and chlorine gas. The etch rate of aqua Regia for gold is approx. 10 μm/min (at room temperature) and can be increased to several 10 μm/min at elevated temperatures. Palladium, aluminium, copper and molybdenum are also etched at room temperature in aqua regia. For

Contact2009. 12. 12. So after our solution has cooled we can selectively precipitate the AU with sodium bisulfite, yes when these little crystals are dissolved in hot water they release sulfur dioxide gas and the gold chloride forms within these tiny bubbles and when they rise to the surface or pop gold chloride is released. We add sodium bisulfite in equal quantites with the gold that we think is present, and we do a stannous chloride test to detect if there is still gold
