No mention of this here so far that I see so I would like to see what the experts know about this. A Univeristy of Saskatchewan professor claims he has invented a solution, "acetic acid combined with very small amounts of an oxidant and another acid", that can rapidly remove plated gold from electronic circuit boards and leave the other metals untouched. It is environmentally benign compared to cyanide or mecury.
My question is, is anyone willing to guess what the other two ingredients might be? And how does it work? It dissolves the thin plating in ten seconds! Quite an accomplishment.
