Recycle of borax-waste:
The waste is grinded and boiled in water containing sulphiric acid(H2SO4).

Refinement:
The silver amount in gold scrap which is going to be refined is checked. The silver amount should be less than 80 milliem, if it is more, it is decreased to 80 milliem by adding metal like yellow copper. If the silver amount is too high, this time gold is decreased to 250 milliem. First quartation process is treated with nitric acid, gold will stay at the bottom as gold powder. Then nitric acid is replaced with aquaragia, which ends the process. It is useful to add alluminium (50gr per 1kg gold) into gold during the process of melting the scrap and pouring it into water as this will cause gold to become porous. The thinner alluminium is, the quicker will be the process. During the process, silver chloride should be washed thoroughly with hot water when it is filtered, or gold will remain in silver. Before precipitating gold, ammonium nitrate should be used so that nitric acid is completely deteriorated. Silver chlorides are gathered, and when there is some amount of them, it is thoroghly mixed with zinc powder. Slowly adding watered hydrochloric acid or water with sulphiric acid, the mixture is mixed until the reaction is over. Then the mixture is filtered, washed thoroughly and melted; the silver which comes out is more than 995. In the phase of gold precipitation if also silver chloride comes out, the solution is to wash the gold containing silver chloride with liquid ammonia. If ammonia is too pure, it should be used by adding it same amount of water. Silver will turn blue and dissolves in water. Amonia should be used in very small amounts. In order to take silver back from the amonia solution, nitric acid or hydrochloric acid are re-added to the solution and silver chloride will precipitate having white color.
The reaction of silver chloride with zinc should never be carried out in a titanium boiler.
In the process of refinement liquids are thrown away just as in recycling of polishing-waste. Acid amounts used in refinement 1,5 lt for 1 kg gold 1,5 lt for 1 kg silver For 1 kg copper or adding, nitric acid (4,5 kg) and hydrochloric acid (three times more than the amount of nitric acid) are calculated. First the whole amount of hydrochloric acid is added, then nitric acid is added in small amounts, checking the reaction. After the whole amount of nitric acid is added, the mixture is heated and boiled for a while. When the process is about to end, more hydrochloric acid is added and the mixture is boiled until the red smoke of nitric acid finishes. After the cooling water is added, amonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is added. Then the solution is filtered, washed and gold is precipitated. It is washed thoroughly with hot water and melted.
