The use of copper, silver, gold and platinum in jewelry as a measure of wealth is well known. This book contains 19 chapters written by international authors on other uses and applications of noble and precious metals (copper, silver, gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium, rhodium, ruthenium, and rhenium). The topics covered include surface-enhanced Raman scattering, quantum dots, synthesis and properties of nanostructures, and its applications in the diverse fields such as high-tech engineering, nanotechnology, catalysis, and biomedical applications. The basis for these applications is their high-free electron concentrations combined with high-temperature stability and corrosion resistance and methods developed for synthesizing nanostructures. Recent developments in all these areas with up-to-date references are emphasized.

Ever since Robert Belton gambled away the money to stake his claim in the Klondike gold fields, he’s been stranded in Seattle working as a prostitute. When an attractive customer needs help hauling provisions to the frozen north, Robert eagerly volunteers. Dr. John Fauth is only searching for one thing, and it isn’t gold. He needs platinum for the prototypes of his revolutionary inventions, and if he doesn’t find it in the Klondike, his university career—and his research—is over. Getting to the Klondike is a grueling, dangerous journey, and just hours after leaving Seattle, John and Robert find themselves in over their heads. John is carrying an invaluable device that his competitors will do anything to get their hands on. And as the cold nights and mutual desire pull John and Robert closer together, they discover that they have much more to lose than gold or platinum. This 52,000 word book was previously published.

Analysis of Noble Metals: Overview and Selected Methods describes simple techniques with useful sensitivity, accuracy, and precision for noble metal analysis. This book is composed of seven chapters that include the methods of atomic absorption, spectrochemical, spectrophotometric, gravimetric, volumetric, and potentiometric determinations of noble metals. Each chapter discusses the concept, principles, practice, and application of the specific analytical technique. A chapter examines several separation methods for noble metals, including cation exchange, mercury amalgam, reduction, silver assay beads, solvent extraction, and dissolution. This book will be of great value to analytical chemists, instrumental engineers, and researchers.

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 46. Chapters: Gold, Silver, Platinum, Iridium, Osmium, Tantalum, Palladium, Rhenium, Ruthenium, Rhodium. Excerpt: Gold ( ) is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from Latin: "gold") and an atomic number of 79. Gold is a dense, soft, shiny metal and the most malleable and ductile metal known. Pure gold has a bright yellow color and luster traditionally considered attractive, which it maintains without oxidizing in air or water. Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element. It is one of the least reactive solid chemical elements. The metal therefore occurs often in free elemental (native) form, as nuggets or grains in rocks, in veins and in alluvial deposits. Less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, usually with tellurium. Gold resists attacks by individual acids, but it can be dissolved by the aqua regia (nitro-hydrochloric acid), so named because it dissolves gold. Gold also dissolves in alkaline solutions of cyanide, which have been used in mining. Gold dissolves in mercury, forming amalgam alloys. Gold is insoluble in nitric acid, which dissolves silver and base metals, a property that has long been used to confirm the presence of gold in items, giving rise to the term the acid test. Gold has been a valuable and highly sought-after precious metal for coinage, jewelry, and other arts since long before the beginning of recorded history. Gold standards have been the most common basis for monetary policies throughout human history, being widely supplanted by fiat currency only in the late 20th century. Gold has also been frequently linked to a wide variety of symbolisms and ideologies. A total of 165,000 tonnes of gold have been mined in human history, as of 2009. This is roughly equivalent to 5.3 billion troy ounces or, in terms of volume, about 8500 m, or a cube 20.4 m on a side. The world...

Precious Metals An investors' guide to noble metals looks at the most precious metals known to man and discusses their attributes as possible investment items. Which is the best precious metal to invest in? Which is the worst precious metal to invest in? Is there such a thing? How do precious metals fluctuate and why? Can I estimate how precious metals will ascend and descent the stock markets?Are my gold evaluations honest? How do I get a proper appraisal of my gold? What is "old" gold? What is "scrap" gold? Is it the same? These and many more questions are answered. I have been a numismatist (coin collector) for over 30 years and I write to the best of my knowledge on precious metals and valuable coins. This is not a coin evaluation book though, but a watchers guide.Learn what is worth collecting and why, and maybe with a little of your own estimation you can profit highly on an investment, or you may lose out on it. Its swings and roundabouts all the way with precious metal speculation, but it is a lot of fun!

Analytical Chemistry, Volume 24: The Analytical Chemistry of the Noble Metals describes the procedures for the separation, extraction, and analysis of noble metals. This book is composed of seven chapters, and begins with a survey on the influence of metallurgical factors on the susceptibility of platinum and gold metals to various corrosive agents. The succeeding chapter provides the methods of isolation of osmium and ruthenium from associated platinum metals and from base metals. A chapter examines the application of gravimetric methods for the separation of seven noble metals, including ruthenium, osmium, rhodium, iridium, palladium, platinum, and gold. Other chapters consider the procedures for volumetric, spectrophotometric, and spectrochemical analysis of noble metals. The concluding chapter describes the features and attributes of the equipment for noble metal analysis. This book is of value to analytical chemists and workers and researchers in metallurgy.
