Getting Your Gold Melted Down

By Sienna Nalin


Are you thinking about getting your gold melted down? Well then the first place you want to go to is a refinery so that they can begin that process for you. Before taking your gold to a refinery you should see how much your gold weighs. This is just precaution so that you make sure your investment is safe.

Your average gold refining company offers a variety of services that offers their clients many options and accommodates their needs when it comes to their gold. As you already know, the primary purpose of a gold refinery is to refine gold, using a series of techniques to process it and remove impurities. Removing the impurities will allow them to extract the pure gold which they can then sell for other purposes. This could be for the sale of pure gold itself, or it could be sold so the gold can be mixed with alloys for other uses. Depending on the refinery, the focus might vary. Some cater directly to everyday consumers while others focus on industrial sectors that deal with metals. This of course can influence the amount of revenue they generate, since the consumers they focus on will bring varying scales of gold with different values to these companies.

Gold refineries start your experience off first by assessing your metal. They have to expect it and see how much of it a certain precious metal is. The item is weighed and labeled. Sometimes acid test are done to see the content of the gold and its make-up. Some refineries will even take a portion of your gold and send it to a lab to determine the composition. After that, this is when the heat comes in. The assayer will then put your gold into a heated furnace with other elements that will help in the process of separating your gold from nonmetals. Later the impurities are drawn out.
