I thought that I heard once that mercury can be cleaned from the gold with
an acid. I have yet to get enough coated gold to really look into it though.

So the mercury only captures the gold correct?!

Mercury bonds to gold. It coats the larger pieces and forms an amalgam with
the small bits. Rick

To Clean mercury from gold using acid is a good way to remove it. You will
need nitric acid in a 40% solution or higher. Be vary carefully when using
this method, not only is nitric acid dangerous, but the fumes from the
reaction are toxic.
