Merrill-Crowe process
Imagine you have a cup of muddy water and you want to make it clear. The Merrill-Crowe process is like a magic trick that makes the water clear!
First, we need to add a special chemical called a flocculant to the muddy water. The flocculant is like a magnet that attracts all the little mud particles and makes them stick together.
Next, we need to use another magic trick to separate the clear water from the mud. We take a big spoon and scoop out all the mud and put it in another cup. Now, we are left with clear water in our first cup!
The Merrill-Crowe process works in a similar way to clean water that has tiny particles of gold or silver in it. The flocculant attracts the gold or silver particles and makes them stick together, and then we scoop out the concentrated gold or silver from the clear water.
So, just like the magic trick that makes muddy water clear, the Merrill-Crowe process uses special chemicals to separate gold or silver from contaminated water.
