Abstract

435,731. Refining gold by electrolysis. DEUTSCHE GOLD-UND SILBERSCHEIDEANSTALT VORM. ROESSLER, 7, Weissfrauenstrasse, Frankfort - on - Main, Germany. Feb. 4, 1935, No. 3634. Convention date, Feb. 6, 1934. [Class 41] Material rich in gold but free from, or poor in, platinum is treated as anode in an electrolyte containing hydrochloric acid and, if desired, non-precious metal chlorides, but free from precious metal chlorides, using a current density of about 1200 amps. per sq. metre or higher. Chloride or other halide of copper is preferably present in the electrolyte. Gold and copper together with silver chloride are deposited at the cathode as a sludge. Copper may be removed by treatment with acid. Silver chloride may be removed by treatment with a solvent such as a thiosulphate or ammonia ; alternatively, it may be reduced, for example, by zinc and acid, and the silver dissolved by boiling with concentrated sulphuric acid. Alternatively, the sludge may first be chlorinated either dry or in a suspension ; the chlorides of the base metals are then dissolved out in water or dilute hydrochloric acid. The chlorine may be generated by addition of potassium chlorate and hydrochloric acid to the sludge. The electrolysis may be carried out at 70‹ C. using crude hydrochloric acid of concentration 100 gms. per litre as electrolyte with or without diaphragms. Anode residues are separated from the sludge deposit by sieving or screening.
