Wohlwill process - Wikipedia
The Wohlwill process is an industrial-scale chemical procedure used to refine gold to the highest degree of purity (99.999%). The process was invented in 1874 by Emil Wohlwill.This electrochemical process involves using a cast gold ingot, often called a Doré bar, of 95%+ gold to serve as an anode.Lower percentages of gold in the anode will interfere with the reaction, especially when the ...
