How do you extract gold from a mixture of metals and chemicals?

Answer 1

-You sell the base metals, then take the money and buy gold with it. -By means of nuclear reaction, when an atom decays it will turn into different atom. But it's not so easy to do that. Like Hydrogen + Hydrogen will become Hydrogen gas in normal reaction but in nuclear reaction it will turn into Helium

Answer 2

The answer is that you can only make it gold-colored.* This can be done by plating it with a thin layer of real gold or a gold-colored metal like brass, or by exposing it to some acids that react with nickel to produce a similar color. Occasionally heating a coin will make it appear brassy or golden in color as well.

Answer 3

By delivering a electron into the nuclei of Hg, and thus change a proton into neutron, it is possible to turn Mercury into gold

(the process is called the "Electron Capture")

201......0......201.......0

.....Hg + e -> .....Au + γ

.80......-1.......79 .......0

this process however is very difficult to happen given that the electron have to avoid being affected by 80 other electrons in the way

while having a right on collision powerful enough with the proton in the nuclei

not to mention that the electron could've ran into a neutron instead

basically the Alchemy stuff is possible but far from practical

Answer 4

Other metals can be converted to gold, but not in a conventional chemical reaction. To carry out the transmutation of another element to gold requires, in most cases, the use of a nuclear reactor or a neutron source

Neutrons were used to bombard mercury in the first man-made reactions that made Gold in 1941, although the isotopes that were created were all found to be radioactive. Irradiation of either mercury or platinum in a nuclear reactor also produces gold. Lead has also been converted to gold in similar ways - however, the cost of these experiments far outweighs the value of any gold produced; it is actually easier to convert gold into lead in a nuclear reactor.

Answer 5

In several ways, one - to dissolve base metals with 20% nitric acid, then

dissolve noble metals with hot aqua regia, which is a solution of 3 parts hydrochloric acid and 1 part nitric acid. Then, selective precipitation of gold

Answer 6

Gold can be extracted from a mixture of metals and chemicals using processes such as cyanidation, carbon adsorption, or solvent extraction. These methods involve using cyanide or other chemicals to dissolve the gold, then separating it from the other metals through various purification techniques. The extracted gold is then further refined to produce pure gold.
