which type of nitric acid?

granitestaterecovery - 25-12-2008 at 09:46

I am looking for peoples opinions on which type of nitric acid would best suite each case in list.

1: quickest for dissolving ferrous and non-ferrous metals that are gold plated?

2: Is there a type that will not dissolve the silver?

3: Is there significant coefficient affect to the acids performance with a small % of plastic in the gross amount?

4: And why does my girlfreind insist on talking to me when I am trying to type and think?:D

stateofhack - 25-12-2008 at 10:05

What do you mean by "type"? There is only 1 "type"..maybe you mean concentration?

granitestaterecovery - 25-12-2008 at 10:28

red fuming is just higher concentration then technical?

granitestaterecovery - 25-12-2008 at 10:29

if that is the case then yes I mean concentration

UnintentionalChaos - 25-12-2008 at 10:48

1: very concentrated
2: very dilute
3: no, as long as it isn't obscuring the metal you intend to dissolve
4: send me $1000000 and I'll tell you.

I think you'd be better off talking to the folks here:

Is it common on this site for cynical responses from members who cannot answer the question .

concentration = %

perhaps you should reread your response which first asks me / then tells me / then is unsure of what I mean.

your waste of time to respond reflects your time wasted in both science and grammar.

I have a membership on that site. But there knowledge of chemistry is similar to my own. I am not a chemist and only work with metals. so I am here in the beggins area asking for advice from chemist who are not as narrow fielded as myself.

granitestaterecovery - 25-12-2008 at 11:20

wow !! $1000000 is for your ego or advice?

granitestaterecovery - 25-12-2008 at 11:50

Here I just did a quick figuring on a kid I recruted 8 months ago And if there were taxes to pay on the % yeilded from his work he still could pay you $1000000 for your masterful and intelligent response

hissingnoise - 25-12-2008 at 11:59

They may have overindulged, gsr---btw, is 8 months not a bit young for a recruit. . .
Nitric acid---my favourite liquid after brandy; love it when they look the same.
Where was I. . .thunk!

DJF90 - 25-12-2008 at 12:01

What is your problem? UnintentionalChaos gave you the answers you were looking for, after stateofhack clarified what you meant by "type of nitric acid". I would have expected you to be more grateful for their help.

granitestaterecovery - 25-12-2008 at 12:04

yes answers thats what those are called. Perhaps with that amount love and knowledge of chemistry they should stay in school cuz thats the only way they will be WORKING with it

granitestaterecovery - 25-12-2008 at 12:06

And I am gratefull for those lessfortunate in the world it helps other to be wealthy

hissingnoise - 25-12-2008 at 12:24

Real Holiday thread this. . .just about everyone's under the 'fluence, hic!

granitestaterecovery - 25-12-2008 at 12:25

8months old and able to not only knows his fundamentals but is able to expand on the minimal knowledge i have gave him to start. He has increased yeild 8% from my own. not done with his schooling yet either I will let him finish next semester by setting up a remote operation near him which will cover for his seinior thesis as well.

granitestaterecovery - 25-12-2008 at 12:30

I understand holidays. I used to use them in the lab for all my private endevors. some of my most catstrophic outcomes were at those times as well. Thank god there were not web cams then

stateofhack - 25-12-2008 at 13:59

Would you please cut the crap and quit filling our forum? If you go to http://www.goldrefiningforum.com/ like UnintentionalChaos proposed and do some damn reading, you will find your answer! All your answers are there!

btw, that forum is pretty darn good!

granitestaterecovery - 25-12-2008 at 14:26

hey state of hack....why bdont stop responding cuz i know the answers i am looking for recruits....Your forum?

harrydrez - 25-12-2008 at 14:40

Seems like detritus material to me, looks like a spamming/looking for spoonfeeding/trolling trifecta.

granitestaterecovery - 25-12-2008 at 14:45

Dam reading ...first of all I am not filling your forum. You are responding to my post. Is this your normal way of boosting the false sense of whatever it is you think you no about whatever it is you talk about . You don't evun no how to describe your chemicals.Or phrase a proper cynical statement. So if you keep responding with your resource center clip and paste forum chemistry knowledge that that you you think you have I will shoot your statements back off. I am here looking for some one who can answer not for the answers that I already no.what does my member name say? its a noble metal recovery company. This is a way to filter through wastes of time applicants that adapt to try to apply in person.I can save myself the time of hiring a person as yourself who hangs out in the begging section sharking the waters on those who are looking to learn.So stop responding to me find some one who who will beleive your chemistry facade.

granitestaterecovery - 25-12-2008 at 14:51

Ok well at least harrydrez has some sarcasm skills

granitestaterecovery - 25-12-2008 at 14:53

This then feeding grounds for god complex individuals...why dont one of you take a shot at the questions.Cuz there pretty simple considering I did not ask about tempature for the acids

granitestaterecovery - 25-12-2008 at 14:58

You cant answer cuz you cant find it on the web and clip and paste ...these are only questions that can be answered if you actually no your chemistry.

harrydrez - 25-12-2008 at 15:05

I just don't think anyone cares, to be honest. You're rambling, incoherent, and rude.

granitestaterecovery - 25-12-2008 at 15:10

Again move on i am only responding to your useless remarks

granitestaterecovery - 25-12-2008 at 15:13

And do you speak everyone or just think for them? jpsmith123 are the type of members i am looking to respond not haters

The_Davster - 25-12-2008 at 16:08

Closed for:
Incoherency and attacking members

And
1) Likely between 50 and 70 %
too dilute and reaction will be too slow, too concentrated and formed silver nitrate may passivate the metal surface
2)too concentrated or too dilute, to concentrated may passivate, and too dilute takes too long
3) Depends on nature of plastic, and whether it encapsulates the metal. Not enough information given.
