How to precipitate gold from H202?
++++++
Hi
I have a problem with H202. I have dissolved copper and gold
in H202 dropping the copper is easy enough but I was
wondering if anyone had any ideas on on getting the gold out
of it.
I have several gallons of this stuff and hate to see it go
to waste, any suggestions?

How do you disolve gold in peroxide?? Some will drop out
if you kill the peroxide. Sugar will do that. Boil it down
is another way. Be careful of this as peroxide reaches a
temperature where it generates so much heat that the
reaction becomes faster and faster yielding bubbles all over
the place. vacuum evaporation will work if you have a vacuum
source. Slow but safe. There are a couple of organic
compounds that will drop out gold as a sponge. Have not seen
it in print in a couple of years tho.
