أكمل القراءةThe problem is that gold plating has been around for 170 years, and is very technically pliable, so that just about anything you can achieve with alkaline cyanide gold you can do with acid gold and vice versa. Although most acid gold is still cyanide based, there is less cyanide so it's probably somewhat safer to work with.

أكمل القراءةIn acidic gold plating bath (pH 3.5 ~5), the principle cyanide containing species are Au(CN)2- and HCN. The cathodic electrode reaction may be written as: Au(CN)2- +2H+ +e = Au + 2HCN. Before deposition, the concentration of free HCN in the bath is very low, approximately close to zero because of the high stability of the gold (I) cyanide ...
أكمل القراءةNowadays, the cyanide and ferrous cyanide solutions are used in practice for gold plating. The traditional baths employed for soft gold as well as hard gold plating contain the cyanide complex, [Au(CN)2], as the source of gold, which release free cyanide ions during the plating. Those compounds are very toxic, and formation and maintenance of cyanide baths is expensive and risky for technical ...
أكمل القراءةImmersion plating of gold is actually older than gold electroplating. It is practiced mostly in applying low-cost decorative finishes. Its usefulness is limited by the extreme thinness and by the lack of permanence of the deposit. Electroless deposits of gold are, at present, possible from several baths.
أكمل القراءةLou's procedure is the same method that plating shops, which didn't have any instrumentation in their labs, analyzed their gold plating baths. I was never a big fan of adding Sulfuric to Cyanide. For small analytical samples it's one thing, but for a pound of the stuff it is a different story.

This regulation was met with widespread industry resistance and in September 2013 the government
أكمل القراءةA process is described involving gold in which gold cyanide ion (e.g., potassium gold cyanide) is removed from an aqueous solution (typically a water rinse solution) by absorption on an anion-exchange resin and the gold cyanide ion is then removed from the resin using an eluent solution comprising organic solvent, water and thiocyanate ion.
