Is it worth salvaging gold from electronics, and is there a way to do it without the chemicals?

This question is best asked at the Gold Refining Forum. There are many members there that do this profitably.

Additionally, your question is very open ended.

Can someone profitably recover gold from electronics? Yes. Is it likely? No. Why not? Most people are unwilling to learn what is necessary to do so profitably. I could go on with this.

Is there a way to do it without chemicals? Yes. What is that? Sell sorted items to others. What if I want to recover gold myself? Then you would have to use chemicals. Notably, a variety of acids.

Time for more coffee.

Well I've looked and looked but just can't seem to find the gold refining forum, gold prospecting, yes, refining, no. Maybe you would be so kind as to point me in the right direction because, do far, the hunt for it seems, well, open-ended.

If you can not find goldrefiningforum.com, then try goldrefiningwiki.com. Goran has put links on his site.

Why am I pushing you there? Far too many people have created toxic messes by following bad advice from a variety of sources. The folks at GRF are more than willing to help people who want to do it right the first time.

Time for more coffee.
