The two methods most commonly employed to derive pure gold are: the Miller process and the Wohlwill process. The Miller process uses gaseous chlorine to extract impurities when gold is at melting point; impurities separate into a layer on the surface of the molten purified gold. The Miller process is rapid and simple, but it ...

Feb 09, 2012 · The process takes from 2 to 4 hours to complete with the chloride fumes being removed and filtered by a two stage wet filter or a two stage dry scrubbing system that maximizes the recovery of the chloride as well as the cleaning of the exhaust air from the process. In the process slag is poured off the top of the melt into a crucible and allowed to slowly cool so any gold that has been caught ...

Jul 08, 2015 · Miller's Gold Chlorination process was introduced by Miller. The refining process employs chlorine gas, which passed into molten gold covered with a layer of borax and silica, and reacts with most of metals present in the molten charge. Platinum group metals do not react. Basically, gold is slightly attacked in the first moments and all ...

Jun 07, 2012 · Invented by Dr. Francis Bowyer Miller, the Miller Process was a game changer in the world of . It is popular among metal refiners all over the world because – in a nut shell – it's cheap, easy, and produces highpurity gold samples – about % pure gold.
