Experience the remarkable ability to refine gold to an astonishing 99.99% purity within a single production cycle lasting only 5 to 8 hours. This streamlined process encompasses everything from initial material preparation to obtaining the final, pure gold ingot.
The Science Behind the Refinement: The Aqua Regia Process
Karat24’s system leverages the well-established Aqua Regia process. This method involves dissolving the raw material alloy in a precisely calibrated mixture of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and nitric acid (HNO3), also known as Aqua Regia. The magic lies in its ability to dissolve gold while leaving behind unwanted elements.
Aqua Regia Process Breakdown:
- Dissolution: The raw material is dissolved in Aqua Regia, causing gold to go into solution.
- Silver Removal: During this stage, silver within the alloy precipitates as silver chloride, which is then efficiently filtered out.
- Gold Recovery: Following filtration, a reducing agent (sodium metabisulfite) is introduced, causing the dissolved gold to precipitate. This precipitated gold is then meticulously filtered, washed, dried, and finally melted and granulated into the desired form.
Considering Inquartation for High-Silver Alloys
The Aqua Regia process is highly effective for alloys containing less than 10% silver. However, for materials with higher silver content, an alternative method called inquartation comes into play.
Inquartation Explained:
- Dilution: The gold concentration within the material is strategically reduced to approximately 25% by melting it with precisely measured quantities of copper or silver. This process essentially “quarters” the gold content.
- Nitric Acid Treatment: Nitric acid is introduced to dissolve the silver and other base metals, leaving behind the pure gold. This separation process is aptly named “parting.”
- Necessity of Dilution: Diluting the gold content ensures the nitric acid effectively dissolves the hindering elements, allowing for the successful extraction of pure gold.

Unveiling the Inner Workings of the Karat24 Semi-Automatic Gold Refining Plant: A Detailed Look
Delving deeper, let’s explore the individual components that make up the Karat24 semi-automatic gold refining plant and understand their roles in the refining process:
Essential Components:
- Dissolution Reactor: This robust vessel serves as the starting point, where the raw material and Aqua Regia solution are combined for dissolution. The reactor is equipped with an agitator assembly (often made of PTFE for chemical resistance) to ensure thorough mixing and efficient dissolving of the material.
- Precipitation Reactor: Once the dissolution process is complete, the mixture is transferred to the precipitation reactor. Here, the chemical reactions take place, leading to the separation of gold from unwanted elements.
- Gold Filtration Unit: This unit plays a critical role in physically separating the desired gold particles from the liquid solution. The filtration system employs a specially designed filter media that allows the gold to pass through while retaining impurities.
- Glass Coolers for Acid Flumes: Safety is paramount. These coolers effectively condense and neutralize hazardous acid fumes generated during the process, preventing their release into the environment.
- HNo3/HCl Acid Charging System: This dedicated system ensures the safe and controlled addition of hydrochloric and nitric acids (the components of Aqua Regia) into the dissolution reactor.
- Scrubber with Neutralization Tank and Pump: Another safety measure, this scrubber neutralizes any remaining acidic fumes before they are released, minimizing environmental impact.
Additional Features:
- Flange & PTFE Gasket and SS Nut Bolts: High-quality materials like these ensure secure connections within the system, preventing leaks and maintaining process integrity.
- Glass Washing Scrubber: This scrubber effectively cleanses any residual gold particles that might be trapped within the glassware used during the process, maximizing gold recovery.
- Electrical Panel with VFD/On-Off Switches: The control center of the system, this panel allows for user control over various operational aspects, including pump operation and heating elements (if applicable). Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) provide precise control over motor speeds, optimizing process efficiency.
- Platinum Reactor (Optional): In certain situations, a platinum reactor might be employed for enhanced efficiency in specific scenarios. Platinum acts as a catalyst, accelerating some chemical reactions within the process.
The Benefits of a Semi-Automatic Design:
Karat24’s semi-automatic gold refining plant offers the perfect balance between user control and automation. Here’s how it benefits you:
- Simplified Operation: The system automates many of the crucial steps, minimizing the risk of human error and ensuring consistency in the refining process.
- Operator Oversight: While the system performs most tasks automatically, operators retain control over crucial aspects like initiating cycles, monitoring parameters, and ensuring safety protocols are followed.
- Flexibility: The semi-automatic nature allows for adjustments to be made based on the specific material being refined, enabling operators to fine-tune the process for optimal results.
