Preparing gold potassium cyanide

Hello,

I am new gold plater can any body help me to change my old procedure to prepare gold potassium cyanide? My procedure:
aqua regia+gold=AuCl3
AuCL3+NH4OH=gold fulminating
gold fulminating+KCN=GPC.

Please answer me.

letter 27589 may be helpful. Please post your inquiry in full context rather than as a flash card quiz, Jenn. You are speaking of dangerous chemicals and very dangerous situations, and no one can properly warn about these potential dangers when we don't know whether you are a highschool kid mixing stuff on the kitchen table that you found in grandpa's garage or a post dictorate working under a fume hood with cyanide detectors and a wet washing system to guard against possible fulminate explosions. Thanks!
