Hey everyone! This is my very first post. I have spent some time looking over the threads and finally decided to sign up and interact! Anyway, this question may irritate some of the more expirienced members, but... I seriously need some help right now compiling a list of chemicals that I'll need for PM recovery/refinery.

I've spent months studying this stuff and have found youtube channels helpful such as Nurdrage and Indeeditdoes as well as goldnscrap.com. But some things happened and the lists I had are lost, and I didn't have the forsight to save a back-up copy or two.

I'm looking for recovery, refinery, and chemical methods to deal with the watse. If anyone could point out an existing thread that would be very helpful and much appreciated. If anyone could add to the list that would be awesome too! I'm working with very limited finances and will have to make the chemicals myself such as nitric acid. But I can figure these things out for myself, so you can just give me the final chemical products, e.g., nitric acid instead of 'copper, H2O2, NaNO3, H2O'.



The PMs I'll be working with are Gold (Au), Platinum (Pt), and Pallidium (Pd)

Thanks so much! I look forward to learning as much as possible from all you experienced persons!

PS - I wasn't sure where to post this, but since most electronic scrap deals with PMs I figured this might be an OK place to post it. Please correct me if I'm wrong!!!
