Process Flow

The Raymond Electrolytic Gold and Silver Equipment employs a sophisticated electrorefining process to purify gold and silver.

Gold Electrolytic Refining (Wohlwill Process)

1

Anode Preparation

Impure gold (doré gold, typically 95-99% pure) is cast into anodes and suspended in an electrolytic cell.

2

Electrolytic Cell

The cell contains an electrolyte of gold chloride (AuCl3) in hydrochloric acid (HCl). Pure gold starter sheets serve as cathodes.

3

Electrolysis

When direct current is applied, gold from the anode dissolves into the electrolyte as Au3+ ions, which then deposit as pure gold onto the cathode. Base metals (e.g., copper, silver) also dissolve but remain in solution, while platinum group metals (PGMs) and silver fall to the bottom as anode sludge.

4

Electrolyte Management

The electrolyte is continuously circulated and purified to maintain its composition and remove dissolved impurities.

5

Cathode Harvesting

High-purity gold cathodes are harvested, melted, and cast into bars.

Silver Electrolytic Refining (Thum or Moebius Process)

1

Anode Preparation

Impure silver (doré silver, typically 95-98% pure) is cast into anodes and placed in canvas bags or suspended in electrolytic cells.

2

Electrolytic Cell

The cell contains an electrolyte of silver nitrate (AgNO3) and nitric acid (HNO3). Stainless steel or pure silver sheets serve as cathodes.

3

Electrolysis

When direct current is applied, silver from the anode dissolves into the electrolyte as Ag+ ions, which then deposit as pure silver onto the cathode. Base metals dissolve and remain in solution, while gold and PGMs fall to the bottom as anode sludge.

4

Electrolyte Management

The electrolyte is continuously circulated and purified to maintain its composition.

5

Cathode Harvesting

High-purity silver crystals or sheets are harvested from the cathodes, washed, dried, and melted into bars.
