Separation hood

This hood is the most critical chemical stage in gold assaying, where gold and silver foils are boiled in nitric acid. During this process, the silver dissolves completely into the acid, while the gold remains pure as a powder or flakes at the bottom of the flasks. The hood is designed with a powerful extraction system to prevent hazardous acidic fumes from reaching the technician and is equipped with uniform heating elements and laboratory glassware to ensure a precise chemical separation.
