Refining Pure GoldRefining Pure Gold
• Many industries require samples of pure gold.
– However, pure gold is extremely rare in traditional mining.
• Pure gold must be created by
professional metal refinersprofessional metal refiners.
• Two popular techniques for creating pure gold are
the Miller Process and the Wohlwill Process.

Miller Process MaterialsMiller Process Materials
• Dr. Francis Bowyer Miller rocked the world of
gold refininggold refining when he created a cheap and easy way
to purify gold – the Miller Process.
• The Miller Process requires these components:
– Sample of impure gold
– Induction furnace
– Graphite crucible
– Chlorine gas

How the Miller Process WorksHow the Miller Process Works
• Gold is inert to a majority of chemicals. Its impurities
(such as zinc, copper and iron) are not.
• The first step in the Miller Process is to use an
induction furnace to melt the gold sample in a
crucible.
• Once the sample is liquefied pure chlorine gas is
blown across it.
– This causes the impurities to form chlorides which rise to
the top of the crucible.

How the Miller Process WorksHow the Miller Process Works
• The final step is to skim the chlorides off the
surface of the melted gold.
• Once the chlorides have been removed the
gold that remains is about 99.95% pure gold…
• But for some applications that isn’t pure
enough.

Wohlwill Process MaterialsWohlwill Process Materials
• Hans Emil Wohlwill developed a method to create
even purer samples of gold – the Wohlwill Process.
– However, it’s much more expensive and complex than the
Miller Process.
• The Wohlwill Process requires:
– An anode – an electrode through which electric current
flows into a polarized electrical device.
– An cathode – an electrode through which electric current
flows out of a polarized electrical device.
– An electrolyte – an electrically conductive substance.

The Anode, Cathode,The Anode, Cathode,
and Electrolyteand Electrolyte
• Each component is made of gold.
– The anode is made of somewhat impure gold,
about 95% purity or higher. (Lower purity will
reduce the efficiency of the Wohlwill Process).
– The cathode is made out of pure 24k gold sheets.
– The electrolyte is pure chloroauric acid which is
made by dissolving gold in aqua regia.

How the Wohlwill Process WorksHow the Wohlwill Process Works
• With the components properly arranged an electric
current is applied.
• Electricity travels from the anode through the
conductive electrolyte and into the cathode.
– When this occurs the gold in the impure anode dissolves
and its ions travel through the chloroauric acid then
electroplate or “stick” to the 24k gold cathode.
• This Wohlwill Process continues until the anode is
completely dissolved.
– The pure gold cathode is then melted down to be used.

Miller vs. WohlwillMiller vs. Wohlwill
• To perform the Wohlwill Process a refiner
must have enough gold for anodes, cathodes
and chloroauric acid.
– It takes gold to make gold.
• Unless ultra-high purity gold is needed the
Miller Process is the preferred way to purify
gold.

Refining Pure GoldRefining Pure Gold • Many industries require samples of pure gold. – However, pure gold is extremely rare in traditional mining. • Pure gold must be created by professional metal refinersprofessional metal refiners. • Two popular techniques for creating pure gold are the Miller Process and the Wohlwill Process. 2013 © Manhattan Gold & Silver2013 © Manhattan Gold & Silver www.mgsrefining.com | 212-398-1454www.mgsrefining.com | 212-398-1454

Its impurities (such as zinc, copper and iron) are not. • The first step in the Miller Process is to use an induction furnace to melt the gold sample in a crucible. • Once the sample is liquefied pure chlorine gas is blown across it. – This causes the impurities to form chlorides which rise to the top of the crucible.

(Lower purity will reduce the efficiency of the Wohlwill Process). – The cathode is made out of pure 24k gold sheets. – The electrolyte is pure chloroauric acid which is made by dissolving gold in aqua regia.
