    Great mother of gold. Man I never seen anyone digging in ga and do it like this. Wow. I love the way you chemically extracted it. I knew when it turned black that there was a lot of gold in there. I have seen gold powder but never seen how to turn it into a bar after extraction. Keep digging and making videos. We know how to dig and pan. I hit that subscribe button hands down I never seen or heard of anyone getting anything like that on the east coast and it was just you no fancy equipment. You are the man. Basically everything I seen till now that I thought was a good run is officially child’s play. You have blown my mind. Wow.

    Which acid is better for crush the magnetite sand before proceed with AR? Hydrochloric? Nitric?

    • @akgoldbear7669
      @akgoldbear7669  Рік тому

      Hello. Definitely hydrochloric acid. Black magnetic sand is not always the same. Very often there is nothing at all in magnetite, only iron. If you can't physically see any gold dust, then don't waste time and acid on that sand. Sometimes magnetite contains gold, platinum and palladium. If you know that there are precious metals in your sand, then you need to boil the sand very well several times in Hydrochloric acid, then wash the sand with water and then boil it in Nitric acid. You can check the nitric acid solution for palladium content. After boiling the sand in nitric acid, the sand does not need to be washed, just fill it with aqua regia and dissolve the gold. Everything is simple 😉

      @mohdsobri9977 Рік тому +1

    • @akgoldbear7669
      @akgoldbear7669  Рік тому +1

      In my area the gold is very fine dusty. Over the past 4 years, I have never found nuggets. The maximum gold size in my area is 30 mesh. Size 30. It is profitable for me to dissolve all the microscopic gold with acids. To see what works best for you, try both methods. That's how I figured out what's best for me )

    • @akgoldbear7669
      @akgoldbear7669  Рік тому +1

      Yes, you are right. You need to boil until all the magnetite has dissolved. Iron dissolves in hydrochloric acid. The iron will dissolve, but the palladium, platinum and gold will stay in the sand. Of course, if you have these metals in your sand. If you don't see any microscopic gold in your sand, I don't recommend wasting your time and acid on it. Good luck.

      @@akgoldbear7669 . Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT) are valuable, but also classified as hazardous waste to be kept out of landfills. The glass contains on average 22% lead (chemically bound in oxide form with the glass). My latest batch yielded, among other values, 1960 kg of pure lead from 8 tons of CRT glass + 1½ tons of mixed crystal vases and wine glasses. The CRT gun and internal metal parts of the glass tube are valuable too, primarily due to the high content of nickel. The non magnetic (or slightly magnetic) metal parts consists of: Fe (iron), Ni (nickel), Mn (manganese), Co (cobalt), Cr (chromium). Warning: dissolved chromium is very poisonous/carcinogenic! The magnetic metal parts consists of: Fe (iron), Mn (manganese), Co (cobalt), Ni (nickel). Very, very high content of nickel (which is twice the value of copper). There are three sections of glass in a CRT tube: The funnel (up to 28% lead), the frit line (70 to 80% lead), and the front panel (99% of the lead content. The glass fraction is then sold as glass powder. On the inside of the front panel glass is a powder layer containing valuable Rare Earth Elements (REE). Using a manual diamond glass cutter to cut into the frit line makes it easy to carefully separate the glass tube in two parts. The powder layer on the inside of the front panel glass is washed off with distilled water, which is collected and later processed to extract the valuable REE elements. The CRT glass is on par or better than the finest crystal glass. The neck (where the electron gun is placed), the conical funnel, and the frit line (where the front panel glass is joined), all contain lead oxide and very little barium oxide and strontium oxide; chemically bound with the glass itself. The front panel glass (which is always processed separately) contains little or no lead oxide, but 10 to12 % barium oxide and 8 to10% strontium oxide. Both elements are extracted chemically. It is not entirely correct when people claim that the grey/whitish powder layer on the inside of the front panel is a phosphorus layer! The right term is: A fluorescent coating. The former is an old term derived from when CRT production began. There is no phosphor (except in the very first CRTs). There might be a microscopic film of aluminium (especially in black/white CRTs) added as a nonreflecting layer on top of the fluorescent coating, and even on the inside of the glass funnel on some newer models. HCl or NaOH will quickly remove such a layer on the funnel glass only; never use anything but distilled water for the front panel glass. The composition of the powder layer varies widely depending on the manufacturer, and where and when it was made. A graphite basic coating have sometimes been applied to the inside of the front panel glass, underneath the powder layer, causing collection of the powder slightly cumbersome. The powder mainly consists of sulfides/chlorides/oxides of: Zn (zinc), Mg (magnesium), Mn (manganese), Cr (chromium), Sb (antimony), Cu (copper), Ag (silver), Y (yttrium), Eu (europium), La (lanthanum), Ce (cerium), Tb (terbium), occasionally even other REEs, among these Ni (niobium). However, the mentioned elements are not always all present together in each individual CRT, but the majority are. Caution: In elder CRTs even Cd (cadmium), Be (beryllium), and As (arsen/arsenic) compounds can be encountered in the powder layer. Most of the above mentioned substances are toxic, some very toxic! Only wet removal of the powder layer with a brush is a must; preferably done in a closed compartment. Be aware of the sulfides, processing such powder by common acid leaching will produce H2S, which will kill you if inhaled. As pretreatment the CRT tube is first washed in plain rain water to remove the ever present decades old extremely fine dust, and rubber parts/glue is scraped off. Then, in a discarded shower cabin, which came in for scrapping from a gym center, with the use of a high pressure cleaner and distilled water, the graphite coating as well as the iron oxide layer on the outside of the glass is removed. The waste water is collected and the water itself is distilled off. The residue is calcined and purified into iron oxide to be used for various chemical processes, and for H2S removal from bio gas made in my anaerobic digesters. The then loaded iron oxide is easily stripped for elementary sulfur, useful for making SO2 gas for precipitation, or homemade H2SO4 at no cost. Don't do like some stupid socalled "scrappers" do: Never smash the glass tube! CRT tubes contains so many poisonous materials, besides the hazardous lead containing glass itself. It's important to keep CRTs out of landfills, because toxic compounds will leach out for hundreds of years in the future. Never throw the glass in the trash bin, or dumpster. After scrapping a CRT, always bring the remaining parts to a public transfer station, or a trustworthy company, for proper recycling.
      I would like to exchange information and experiences regarding e-waste processing and metal recovery, as well as discussing new approaches. Especially about Printed Circuit Boards and the individual electronic components. Interested?

      @@akgoldbear7669 . Well, I do everything at home in my backyard. The lead from the latest batch of CRT glass yielded at least 1,500 US$ more than the 20 grams of gold you got after a week's work. I usually run up to 10 chemical processes simultaneously every single day, besides scrapping metal, and sorting paper/carton/glass; though my biggest turn over is selling plastic for recycling, except the dirty/oily plastic pieces and plastic crumbles that are catalytic cracked into fuel for my metal melting furnace as well as providing free gasoline for my car and free diesel for my truck, besides free heating for the work space in the shed.
      My four pyrolysis units are fed with waste wood, and carbon residue from the previous pyrolysis run (after metal recovery).
      I never pay for chemicals! HCl, HNO3, H2SO4 is extracted from waste materials, gas for my 130 L cooking pot comes from aneaerobic digesters, electricity from 26 various old solar panels, and all machinery/processing units have been built from scrap metal at almost no cost. Keeping the costs down and just doing all of it in my own backyard earns me 250,000 US$/year.
      The metal in CRT guns and the shadow masks as well as clips from battery packs, among other nickel alloyed metal pieces, yields lots of pure nickel worth twice as much as copper. The biproduct of this process is iron oxide, ideal for sulfur capture.
      I've just begun test runs of recovering Indium from LCD/LED panel screens from TVs/monitors/mobile phones, but the nasty arsen/arsenic used as a decolorizing agent in the glass itself, or as an enamel coating on the glass sheets (depending on the manufacturing process) must not go into the leach solution as it is deadly toxic. Likewise, I'm now trying to figure out how to recover the indium in semi conductors as an expansion of chemical scrapping.
      I process every single Printed Circuit Board I get for solder recovery (tin is 3½ times more valuable than copper), and even process the bare board itself for copper, and recovering of all traces of ENIG gold. However, I have a huge problem in the case of the electronic components themselves; here I'm for the time being totally lost, i.e. almost without any knowledge about the individual components. That's why I'm looking for someone who has some experience with electronics. I would really appreciate if you may have interest in corresponding about this subject.
      Regarding your, now deleted, video about gold recovery from tin solder solution, I'll just mention that despite I'm familiar with the phenomenon metal diffusion, I had never thought about any possible content of gold in the dissolved tin. The good thing is that I purify tin metal by electro refining, and the bottom slime from the cell, together with slime from the copper cell, is always refined later, so in the end no gold was lost at all.
