- Muriatic acid, also known as hydrochloric acid, is commonly used in gold refining to dissolve and remove impurities from the gold. The acid is used to dissolve base metals such as copper, nickel, zinc, and iron that may be present in the gold alloy. The gold refining process typically involves dissolving the gold alloy in a mixture of muriatic acid and nitric acid, known as aqua regia. The acid mixture dissolves the gold, leaving behind any impurities that can be filtered out. The dissolved gold can then be precipitated out of the solution using chemical reducing agents such as sodium metabisulfite or oxalic acid. Overall, muriatic acid plays a crucial role in gold refining by effectively removing impurities from the gold alloy and helping to obtain pure gold.
