- Common mistakes in cupellation - Gold Refining Metal Extraction Forum
Since we cupel 84 samples at a time, it is impractical to load the lead buttons in to the cupels while they are in the furnace We place the buttons into the pre heated cupels then load that to the furnace Once our Mag-oxide cupels are pre heated, they turn from a grey color to a brilliant white De-slagging was mentioned and is also very

Pre heat your cupel to at least 700F for at least 15 minutes Probably moisture trapped inside which can't escape, once the metals start to melt Lucky they didn't explode Could also be the materials used in their makeup, but usually due to being not fully cured

You want to remove the gelatin Then calcine the bones to a complete calcine ( 900 degrees C ), white hot for 1 hour, longer for larger bones Crush to all minus 100 mesh Mix with 10% cement, just enough water to get the material to bind, press to desired shape and size Most mints required the cupel to dry dry for 2 years before use

To cupel properly, you need 2 components for the reaction to happen properly The first is temperature, 1850 F , the second is a bit of atmospheric Oxygen The conversion of Pb (Lead), to Pb oxide Metallic Pb will not absorb into the cupel, only PbO will absorb into the cupel, bringing other base metal oxides as well

The cupel composition can make a big difference The types can vary as to the lead retention and potential losses All in all, I think bone ash cupels are generally the best, but they are more expensive, less durable - they can break easily if handled roughly or if you don't store them properly in a dry area

The lead oxidizes base metals into a slag and when the volume of the lead after it is driven by oxidation is about half, the remaining lead and slag is poured into a assay cone mold, deslagged, and that lead alloy chunk is cupelled in a bone ash cupel

I was just looking at his torch assay book and I found the cupel mold that I bought from him many years ago (before he passed away) His recipe for cupels uses: 8 tablespoons of BONE ASH 1 teaspoon of WHITE FOUR This mixture is dampened using a mixture of: 1 2 pint of WATER 1 tablespoon of Elmer's all-purpose white glue 2 tablespoons of WHITE

Scotifications are not done in a cupel, usually for assays it is a melting dish which, unlike a cupel will not absorb the lead The borax is most effective if it is anhydrous borax All borax is borax but anhydrous has been heated to drive off the water 20 mule team borax has 10 waters and there is also a lot of 5 waters borax out there
