Read More2018-5-15 · This process is known to purify gold to 99.95%. This method got its name from Francis Bowyer Miller, its inventor. In the Miller process, unrefined gold is first melted. Then, chlorine gas is passed through it. The gas turns other metals and impurities into a solid form, making it easy to separate them from gold.
Read More2005-1-1 · The Miller process can produce marketable 9950 grade gold and meets the majority of the above-mentioned criteria. However, the subsequent process of electrorefining to refine 9950 grade gold to 9999 grade does not meet all the criteria and has therefore been carefully reviewed and investigated over the past 5 years.
