How to Operate a Merrill Crowe Precipitation Process
On mixed gold and silver ores and particularly where the silver is relatively high, the precipitate may run as high as 95% combined gold and silver with only 3% to 5% total zinc. Owing to the high grade precipitates now generally obtained, most plants in the western Hemisphere melt direct without preliminary treatment other than partial drying.
