Joanne,

    You might be interested in an article that appeared in AJM magazine
    in October, 2003 by Dr. Christopher Corti of World Gold Council. In
    the article, he discusses in detail six methods of refining precious
    metals, ranging from ancient to modern. 

    From reading the article, I rather doubt this is something that you
    really want to do at home -- all the methods discussed involve
    potentially hazardous substances and/or processes. But I can't think
    of a better way of answering your questions (and probably some you
    haven't thought of) than reading this article.  

    To order a copy of the article, visit the AJM Web site at
    www.ajm-magazine.com. MJSA members can get free copies, while others
    pay a processing fee, I think $5 per article.
