smelting fine gold for the first time | Gold Refining
In the smelt with flux you can reduce or oxidize the iron from the black sand, the flux chosen and the properties of the ore involved, will make a big difference in what happens in the smelting process. If you melt a lot of iron with very little gold your gold could be lost in the iron and the slag of the melt.

Refining Karat Gold and Silver Jewelry using Inquarting method
The Inquartation method is one of the most common methods of refining low and medium karat gold jewelry (9K-18K) and can also serve the first step in refining sterling silver. Inquarting usually doesn't apply to high karat gold jewelry (21K-24K) since it is low in silver content. A low silver content (less then 8%) will not create passivation of the metal and …

What Is Flux?? | Gold Refining & Metal Extraction Forum
Flux is also a wetting agent, when molten it is a "wetter" liquid than the liquid metal. It has a lower surface tension, it has a greater tendency to wet surfaces. At the same time, it does not, or should not, react with the molten metal. So in the case of silver and gold in a melting dish, it produces a smooth, very low friction surface that ...
