Several ways to do that. One way is adding hydrochloric acid and vaporizing
to initial volume. That action causes nitric acid (from the aqua regia) to go out.
Repeat this action 3 times. Now add copperas - ferrous sulphate dissolved in
hydrochloric acid 15%. The gold will precipitate. You can wash it if necessary
1stly in hot hydrochloric acid, 2ndly water, 3rdly ammoniak, 4thly water.
The resulting gold should be at least 99%
