- TaylorGood 9y agoImpressive taking ~40% purity gold and refining it to 99%.
- scotty79 9y agoHow much electricity do they use?
- sandworm101 9y ago>>> It is impossible to achieve 100% purity and 99.99% is the closest refiners can get. Try again guardian. The Canada mint has been famously issuing 99.999% (5-nines) coins since the 90s. Anyone familiar with gold knows this. At least Google your facts before printing them. And if you are really into gold as an investment, the Krugerrand is where it's at. They are an interesting design choice. While only 91% gold/9% copper, they are manufactured overweight so they still have exactly one troy ounce of gold. The copper makes them stronger, better for use as currency than the more shiny and decorative bars. Bars are for looking at. Rands are for buying things under the table. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krugerrand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krugerrand
- PoachedSausage 9y ago>Under almost every machine is what looks like a cat litter tray. But there are no factory cats I once worked for a manufacturer of biological measuring instruments that utilised platinum for electrodes, the lathe used for machining and polishing the platinum had a similar setup to catch dust. All platinum waste got weighed in periodically, not with Bairds though.
