What this topic covers
Why dore and precious-metal feeds often require separating silver from gold.
Core mine-to-refinery ideas
Silver and gold commonly arrive together in precious-metal refinery feed.
Refineries exploit differences in chemical or electrochemical behavior to produce separate products.
Acid chemistry and separation recipes are intentionally excluded.
Important tradeoffs
Electrorefining, chemical purification and precious-metal residue treatment are specialist industrial systems.
Measurement and accounting
Accurate sampling and assay are essential for refinery recovery and commercial settlement.
Lifecycle perspective
Electrolyte chemistry, electrical settings and separation recipes are not provided.
