Organic ORMUS Assay Method


1. The organic matter must first be destroyed. In tradition chemistry this is done by burning off the carbon in a crucible with a hot flame or in a muffle furnace leaving the metallic oxides which are then further analyzed with chemical reagents and analytical procedures. This procedure will not work because the monatomic gold and platinum group elements vaporize with the carbon. The loss on ignition is used in traditional analytical methods to calculate the carbon content of the sample. As you can realize if this is done the monatomic precious elements get reported as carbon.

2. Instead the organic matter has to be oxidized away with chemical reagents by:
a) Add concentrated sulfuric acid to the sample and heat until thick whit fumes of sulfur trioxide is evolved which dehydrates the carbohydrates turning them to carbon. You get a voluminous carbon sponge rising in the beaker so you pick a large beaker and do this slowly under a fume hood as the sulfur trioxide is a powerful dehydrating agent ant very Irritating to the eyes, nose throat and skin.

b) Cool and slowly squirt concentrated nitric acid from a plastic wash bottle on the carbon and heat. Brown fumes of  nitrogen dioxide evolve along with carbon dioxide. Keep adding nitric acid little by little until the mass of carbon is reduced  down to a manageable amount in the bottom of the beaker with the acid. Continue to heat until white fumes of sulfur trioxide  are evolved again, the nitric acid being boiled off at a lower temperature. Cool and repeat adding nitric acid and repeat heating to fumes again. It may be necessary to add more sulfuric acid to make sure bottom of the beaker does not go dry.

Repeat the nitric acid treatment at least 3 times until all the carbon is gone and no more brown fumes evolve. The residue sulfuric acid may be colorless and will contain the monatomic precious elements if any is present.

c. Next it is important to remove any residual nitric acid and nitroso compounds. Cool the sample and very carefully add distilled water from a squirt bottle a few drops a time allowing the water to trickle down the sides of the beaker very slowly.

This is the reverse procedure than the normal adding acid to a volume of water. Caution must be used because sulfuric acid is hungry for water and liberates lots of heat when water hits it and could splatter if done rapidly. When times as much water has been added as acid volume. Heat carefully until the water is boiled off continuing to raise the temperature until fumes again evolve. Repeat the cooling and water addition two more times and allow the volume of residual sulfuric acid to fume until it just barely covers the bottom of the beaker

d) Cool and add water to the beaker to about 2/3 full. This will be a solution of all the monatomic elements as well as other metal elements such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc. Then various analytical procedures are use to precipitate the respective elements of interest as you would use to separate and precipitate them out of solution as if they were in the 33 atom metallic configuration. They usually will precipitate just like the metals and you weigh each precipitate and calculate the amount of the pure element. The separation can also be long and involved and there are several alternative ways to carry this out as reported in the literature of the analysis of precious metal.

I would not advise you to do this unless you have proper laboratory facilities and equipment including a sensitive analytical balance and are trained in laboratory procedures and safety.
