A karat signifies how pure gold is and the higher the more gold there is. Pure gold, which is 100%, is too soft to use so it often has other metals mixed in to make more durable. 22k gold has 91.6% good and 24k gold is pure but too soft to use, so it is mixed with other metals to strengthen it.
24 is more pure than 22kt. 22 has elements in there to make it harder and stronger. 24kt is more bendable
It means, it is 22 Karat (purity) gold. Below formula can be used to convert the 3-digit no. to gold purity: Gold Purity (Karat) = (3 digit no./1000) * 24

Yes you can make 22 karat gild into 24 karat by melting the 22 karat and then remove the impurity - which would most likely be copper. This means you would have about 91.6% of 24 karat gold and 8.4% copper from the original weight of 22 karat gold
24 karat gold is pure gold. 22 karat gold is only about 92% pure, so you should expect it to be slightly cheaper ... but not much, because whatever it's alloyed with has some value also (probably not as much as gold, though).
Both are a way of describing the purity of the gold bullion. Karats are measured by mass. Thus, if you had 24 grams of gold and all of it was gold i.e. pure, it would be 24 karat gold. If I had 24 grams of gold and 22 grams of it was gold, the other 2 grams being copper for instance, the bullion would be 22 karats. Fineness is a more modern and accurate way of describing purity and is measured as parts per thousand. So 999 actually means 999 parts per thousand. It can also be described as 9990 or 'three nines' pure gold. It equates to 99.90% pure gold. Anything above this is considered 24 karat gold. So if you are looking to buy gold bullion, 24 karat or 999 are acceptable and good choices.
The difference between the different types of gold is in the purity of the gold. The karat weight of gold is measured by a gold's purity, with 24 karat gold being pure gold. Therefore, 22 karat gold would have a purity of 22/24 or 91.7 percent, 18 karat gold would have a purity of 18/24 or 75 percent, 14 karat gold would have a purity of 14/24 or 50 percent and 10 karat gold would have a purity of 10/24 or 41.6 percent. As the purity of gold decreases, the alloy in the jewelry increases. Copper and silver are the most common alloys used when making gold jewelry and white gold is usually made with a nickel alloy. The higher karat weight a gold piece of jewelry has, the more valuable that piece of jewelry will be.

dear kindly explore your question 22 karat means 22 karat and it is a grade used for gold purity
It means the Purity of Gold is exactly 22 and a Half Karat,that is 22.5K.
In Europe, gold is stamped with a three digit number to indicate the gold's purity. If you put a decimal after the second digit, you have the percent purity of the gold. (In your example, the 753 would be 75.3% purity.) The European 999, or 99.9% purity gold, is equivalent to saying 24-karat gold. The European 917, or 91.7% purity gold, is equivalent to saying 22-karat gold. The European 750, or 75% purity gold, is equivalent to saying 18-karat gold. While the number might be slightly off of 750, this is most likely the meaning of the 753 mark on gold jewelry. For a full list of common European/ karate comparisons, see the link below, where it is given in an article "Gold: 24 Karat or 999.

The term "karat" is not used with silver like it with gold (where 24 karat gold is 100% pure gold and 18 karat gold is 18/24ths, or 75%, pure). 22 karat gold would be 91.667% pure - that same purity level is often found in silver coinage (slightly less pure than 92.5% coin silver, or "sterling silver", of England of yore).

If your gold is 24 karat -- i.e., pure gold, three grams weighs 0.105821 ounces and today's spot gold price per ounce is US$1,520, you can do the math and figure out how much your gold is worth. If, however, your gold is a different karat purity, such as 9, 10, 14, or 18, 22 karat, you'll need to factor in how much gold you really have and price it accordingly.
