Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a method for making various inorganic gold compounds using a halogen-containing oxidizing agent instead of chlorine gas, which is simple, safe, time-effective, cost-effective, and environment-friendly with a high yield. The method does not require precautions for potential hazards or treatments for polluted gases, and can be easily adapted for different inorganic gold compounds.

Problems solved by technology

During this process, a large amount of toxic nitrogen oxides is generated and the working environment is polluted.
In addition, chlorine gas should be stored and operated in sealed equipment to prevent gas leakage, thus causing high cost of investment.
Furthermore, hydrogen peroxide at high concentration, for example, 30 wt % in this reaction, is susceptible to thermal decomposition.
Hence, the above-described conventional methods for production of sodium tetrachloroaurate or potassium tetrachloroaurate are rather complicate, time consuming, and unfavorable for large-scale production.
However, gold (III) chloride is usually prepared by passing chlorine gas over gold powder at 180° C., which is tedious and unfavorable for large-scale production.
Accordingly, the conventional methods for the production of the inorganic gold compound, such as tetrachloroauric acid, sodium tetrachloroaurate, potassium tetrachloroaurate, sodium tetracyanoaurate, and potassium tetracyanoaurate, are complicated, hazardous, time-consuming, costly, and environmentally harmful.

example 1

Synthesis of Sodium Tetrachloroaurate Using Sodium Chlorite in Hydrochloric Acid

[0112]Gold powder (5 g) and concentrated HCl (125 mL of aqueous solution containing 36 wt % of hydrochloric acid) were placed in a 250 mL flat-bottomed flask. 5 mL of aqueous solution containing 5 wt % of sodium chlorite (NaClO2) was added into the flask and a mixture was obtained. The mixture was stirred for 10 min until the gold powder was consumed to obtain a product solution containing sodium tetrachloroaurate. The product solution was concentrated by rotary evaporation at 100° C. under a pressure of 0.5 mbar and stood at room temperature to give crystalline sodium tetrachloroaurate (>99% yield).

Synthesis of Tetrachloroauric Acid Using Iodic Acid in Hydrochloric Acid

[0114]Gold powder (0.5 g) and concentrated HCl (25 mL of aqueous solution containing 36 wt % of hydrochloric acid) were placed in a 100 mL flat-bottomed flask. 5 mL of aqueous solution containing 5 wt % of iodic acid (HIO3) was added into the flask and a mixture was obtained. The mixture was stirred for 5 min until the gold powder was consumed to obtain a product solution containing hydrochloric acid. The product solution was concentrated by rotary evaporation at 100° C. under a pressure of 0.5 mbar and stood at room temperature to give crystalline hydrochloric acid (>99% yield).
