Gold Smelting Furnace

Have you ever tried to obtain a pure base metal before? Be it gold, silver, iron, or the likes? If you have, then the fact that it isn’t an easy process wouldn’t need much explaining. Stick with this buying guide to get all the info you would need to pilot a sustainable gold smelting process.

Mining of Gold

To get started, it’s important to note that the Gold mining process does not leave room for miners to extract pure gold from the surface of the earth. Gold is discovered in nature as Gold ores. While this ore can be referred to as gold, they contain impurities that are quite detrimental to the market value attributed to the metal. Gold ores can be mined via three different methods.

Placer mining: Are you planning to embark on your first gold hunting quest? This method is regarded as the most explored gold mining method for amateur gold miners. It usually requires the usage of gravity and water to separate the Gold ores from other materials. The processes involved in placer mining include metal detecting, panning, cradling, sluicing, and dredging. Placer mining is the most suitable means of extracting gold dust from non-metal impurities.

By-Product Mining: unlike most other mining methods on our list, the By-product mining doesn’t place gold as its first find. This mining process involves the usage of underground tunnel and pits dogged to extract coppers, gravel, sand, and other products to extract gold.

Hard Rock Mining; most of the gold circulating the world today are results of the Hard rock mining process. For this mining process to be practical, open pits and underground mining tunnels are dogged, paving easy access for miners to access the gold ores directly from the rock.

1.1, Smelting the Gold Ores

Gold is listed amongst the most valuable precious metal available in the market. Its ability to retain an ever-growing market value have made it rank as one of the most sought out precious metal of all times. To ensure that your freshly mined gold is appreciated for the value it portrays, smelting gold ore is necessary.

How to Smelt Gold Ores

• Chose a preferred smelting machine
• Crush gold and place in furnace.
• Allow to heat to over 1064 degree Celsius
• Add cyanide solution to remove impurities while smelting
• Pour in a mold and allow to cool.

1.2, For Recycling old gold

With gold usage dating as far back as ancient Egypt, it wouldn’t come as a surprise that over 35% of the gold materials circulating in the world today are made out of recycled gold. While gold can be recycled from electronics, dental filings and lots of other materials, we would be focussing on the process attached to recycling gold from jewelry.

Jewellery and coins are amongst the most common materials containing gold. Be it a family ornament that has withstood the test of time or gold coins passed down from generation to generation; you can acquire a handful of pure gold from them through the gold recycling process.

1.3, For Jewelry Casting

Gold and silver smelting are processes that requires as much care and precaution as possible. Smelting gold wrongly would not only affect the surface finish of the casted jewellery, it would also depreciate its market value; having the necessary smelting tools and smelting machine is a must.

It’s no news that you wouldn’t be able to cast a piece of fine jewellery with a gold material containing an impure substance. While a lot of jewellers are familiar with the traditional and homemade smelting styles that have prevailed over the years, its reliability in the 21^st-century global market is continuously placed on a questionable spot when talking about how to melt down gold jewellery. The smelting reduction process involved doesn’t seem to be providing the desired output when smelting gold jewellery.

How to Use Gold Smelting Machine to Remove Impurities from Gold

• Apply flux {oxidation compounds like Borax, Sodium Nitrate and Silica} to the gold material.
• Place in the furnace and allow to heat at over 900-degree Celsius.
• Pour out flux and any other impurities floating at the top of the liquified material
• Place in a mold and allow to dry.

1.4, For Industrial Applications

Dentistry: the use of gold in the dental industry dates as far back as 700 BC. Generally known as a durable replacement for worn-out teeth and for making fillings. Gold has been able to retain its influence in the dentistry industry over the decades due to the biocompatible nature it possesses. The gold mostly used in the dentistry industry is white gold or gold alloy. To ensure that individuals are not provided with gold teeth containing impurities, the gold smelting technology has gained extensive usage around the industry.

Gold in Medicine: Gold is not just vital in the dentistry industry but even in the treatment of arthritis, cancer, and Lagophthalmos. A lot of medical equipment and diagnostic tools used in the medical sector are also by-products of the precious metal. While the need for pure gold can be compromised in the production of diagnostic tools and medical equipment—when it comes to the gold dust or gold salt required the treatment of arthritis or cancer, such compromise can cost a life. Gold smelting machines have had and still have a vital role to play in the medical industry.

2.1, How to smelt Gold by Propane Torch

Propane torch is amongst the most common and inexpensive method for smelting silver coins, gold bars or jewellery. Suitable for home and enterprise usage, the gold smelting technique is regarded as the most used by individuals looking to smelt gold in small quantity.

Items Required

• Gold ore
• Cubicle
• Flux {mixture of sodium carbonate and borax}
• Propane touch
• Ingot

Steps Involved

• Make provision for a cubicle capable of withstanding heat of over 1,950-degree Fahrenheit.
• Obtain a mixture of Carbonate and Borax. A mixture of carbonate and borax is often referred to as flux. Apply the flux on the gold.
• Use a propane torch to melt the gold by it applying directly into the cubicle.
• Pour into a Metal or Ingot of choice.

While propane touch is less expensive, the processes involved can keep you smelting 2kg of gold for hours. Compared to the fast and efficient process induction furnace offers, propane torch is less durable and is not suitable for smelting huge amount of gold.

2.2, How to Smelt Gold by Resistance Furnace

It’s mostly regarded as a suitable technique for individuals looking to smelt a small amount of gold. While it’s quite productive and has stood the test of time, its usage is in no way environmental friendly and requires over 20 minutes to smelt 2kg of gold. It generates heat through electric or slag.

Steps involved

• Since you are looking to try out the homemade smelting process with a resistance furnace, you would have to create the furnace yourself. You can design the furnace with a metallic cubicle.
• Install a hair dryer to the furnace
• Smelt by lighting up in a hole surrounded with firebricks.
• During the smelting process add oxidizing agents to enable impurities rise to the top.

2.3, How to Smelt gold in Induction Furnace

What type of gold are you trying to smelt, is it white yellow or rose gold? Are you smelting gold freshly acquired from the ore or recycled gold? Regardless of what your answers are to these questions, the induction smelting furnace got you covered. Suitable for gold smelting companies, miners and gold enthusiast.

Items required to smelt gold with the induction Furnace

• Gold
• Flux
• Induction smelting furnace (Sometimes, you need a tilting furnace, if it is a big batch of gold)

Steps involved

• When smelting gold, it’s essential to bear in mind that gold is denser than most other metals. While most other compound floats in their liquified state, gold doesn’t. With the primary aim of smelting being to remove any impurities that might be contained in a piece of gold, oxidizing agents like sodium carbonate and borax are required.
• Unlike most other smelting processes, you can enjoy smelting with an induction furnace at the click of a button. Insert gold into the furnace and set to melt at desired temperature.
• Separate gold from flux by pouring out any impurity or slab that rises to the top before pouring gold into a mold.

Induction furnace has been and remains the top smelting techniques used in most modern-day smelting companies. Since most induction furnaces are termed a bit expensive for personal use, gold enthusiast or miners are advised bank with companies for the productive services it offers when looking to smelt gold or any other metals.
