gold refining for the amateur chemist

Good book full of good info

This is a good place to start if you want to refine precious metals. Packed with information about safety, equipment needed, and procedures to follow. Not overly technical easy to read. It is always close by when I process scrap gold that I have gathered. A good addition to the amateur refiners library.

good read

Nice reference book

Missing information on melting the precious metals in the book. I guess it is missing a couple of chapters. Other than that pretty informative.

This author did not copy rite his booklet, but his information is of prime importance to me. I am glad he published this methods of refining.

1. There is no Table of Contents and no page numbering. 2. The author needs to hire an editor to overcome the continual spelling and usage errors. 3. The author states, up front, that "this process is not suitable to refine panned or karat gold!" (This is the reason that I purchased the book.) 4. The text font used would be appropriate for poetry, not for anything technical. 5. The author lists all of the chemical reagents needed. Then later in the process he suprises us with more and more chemicals needed.

Quick read. Great information.

Very few information no pictures Very very basic

Not very good. Publication very poor!
