What is Mercury into gold?
No. One can not transform one element into another. However Mercury may be used to extract gold from gold containing sand. The gold will dissolve in the mercury which can then be boiled away to leave the gold. This will APPEAR to make mercury change into gold but this is not the case, you have to put the gold into the mercury first.PLEASE NOTE - Mercury is VERY VERY toxic/poisonous and using it to extract gold this way is dangerous to the environment and harmful to the people doing it (especially the boiling away mercury phase) - do not refine gold this way, use a mechanical separation process.

Can gold dust be filtrated by mercury to extract gold itsef?
At one time, mercury WAS used to extract gold from gold ore. The rock was crushed, and washed over a copper sheet coated with mercury. Gold forms an amalgam with mercury, and some of the gold would be trapped in the mercury. The mercury would be scraped from the copper, and distilled, leaving behind the gold. Other processes are used today.
