I was searching online for information about refining scrap gold. Not only I came across all the step by step guides, but also many reliable online companies who can actually do it for you.
I figured out that even if refining scrap gold can be done at home it it much safer and easier to send it to a professional company who can do it for you. Then you can get money for it. And Im talking about good money.
So do your research first before you try to do it your self...

Refining Scrap Gold is not easy but can be done.
When refining scrap gold the acid is what contains all your gold.
Once you pour off the acid you will want to collect anything that is left over. Rinse the pieces that are not dissolved At this point you are also able to recover any gem stones that were in the jewelry, diamonds etc as the acid does not harm good stones.
These can be sold or reused. Next you must neutralize the nitric acid witch has partially been done by heating the acid but is best done by adding Urea/ Uric acid...and yes its urine and yes urine does work.

How Can Refining Scrap Gold Work
This information I got from an experience gold refining expert. Before refining scrap gold first you need to get the gold that you want to refine.
It could be old gold jewelry, or anything that is made of gold that is no longer wanted.
Once you get the gold it will be tossed into a hot acid bath of something called Aqua Regia.
Aqua Regia is a mix of Nitric acid and Hydrochloric acid, usually in a volumetric ratio of one to three.
Next you would add the gold carefully as to not splash the acid, remember to always wear gloves and protective clothing, as you would not want to hurt yourself in the process. The Aqua Regia is left to sit overnight and the next day.
