Stop Losing Gold: A Refiner's Guide to Collecting Nano-Particle Gold Sediment

The Hidden Problem: Where Does the Gold Go?

One of the biggest frustrations for gold refiners—both beginners and experienced—is collecting the ultra-fine gold powder after the first precipitation with Sodium Metabisulfite (SMB).

This precipitated gold often forms nano-particles so small that they pass straight through ordinary filter paper (like coffee filters or cheap lab paper). As a result, you lose a significant amount of gold and end up with a contaminated filtrate.

Adding to the challenge, the reaction produces nitrogen gas bubbles. These tiny bubbles cling to the powder and make some of your gold float instead of settling, preventing a clean collection.

Riding the Gold Rush: Why E-Waste Recycling is the Next Big Opportunity

The world is at a critical crossroads. As electronic waste accumulates at an alarming rate, threatening the environment, the price of gold is surging to new heights. For those of us involved in the urban mining of precious metals, this convergence of two global trends marks an incredible and promising milestone. We are not just recyclers; we are a vital part of the solution to a global crisis.
