Precious metal extraction agents are specialized chemicals designed to selectively dissolve and recover valuable metals like gold, silver, and platinum from ores, electronic waste, or recycled materials. These chemicals enable efficient metal recovery in mining (heap leaching) and e-waste recycling, though strict environmental controls are needed, especially for toxic options like cyanide. Innovations now focus on greener methods, such as bioleaching or halogen-based systems, to reduce ecological impact while maintaining high extraction rates.

Hydrofluoric Acid HF

Original price was: $ 8.00.Current price is: $ 7.74.
Hydrofluoric Acid HF is a highly corrosive aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride gas dissolved in water. It is a colorless to pale yellow fuming liquid with a strong pungent odor. Unlike other mineral acids, HF is a weak acid chemically but uniquely reactive due to its ability to dissolve silica and glass, and penetrate tissues deeply. This makes it invaluable in numerous industrial, laboratory, and specialized applications but also highly hazardous.
