@@herrhaber9076 He's doing it this once to show us all what's involved so none of us will hopefully take the risk. He's repeatedly emphasized how dangerous parts of this are and that he really doesn't like doing it himself. We're getting a great series on the process, but I don't expect he'll be doing it again. The No2 released with the gold and silver refining needs to be dealt with in a safe manner, but that's far less problematic that handling platinum in solution. This is even more so because platinum is worth far less than gold currently. 12 grams of platinum at spot price is around $413. 12 grams of gold would cost around $750.
Any dissolving of metals is generally a bad thing for 'garden shed' refiners to be doing. Dont forget most electronic scrap and even alof of gold and silver contains PGM group metals and there fore the same hazards apply to most refining.
What a process, none of the steps are boring. This way we get to see the time you've put in and I think everyone appreciates it more to see the hard work that goes into it.
sreetips has not yet applied for his 100,000 subscriber "Silver Play Button" if you would like to see it hanging in his lab please reply or like this post to let him know! i think it would look great on his wall & he sure has earned it!
I've very glad to have watched all of this. I had assumed that refining platinum would be more similar to gold. Now I know that I definitively don't want to attempt this.
Enjoying as always. Had to go and look at the measurements again. Started with 13.7 grams of jewelry. As of the end of this video 2.4 gram bead of iridium (?) and 12.1 grams of platinum powder. Your other filters has approximately 0.8 grams if the math is correct. Can't wait to see the next part.
The local gold buyer shop will have an xrf and will be able to tell you the metal in the button. If iridium they will probably make you an offer as well.
In one of the earlier videos in the sequence, when you got the pink precipitate, some commenters (including me) were thinking that there could be cobalt present. I went ahead and dissolved a little piece of cobalt in HCl+H2O2 just out of curiosity. It made a beautiful royal blue solution that turned pink when diluted with water. I also added ammonia and tested it with DMG, which made an orange complex. So I think we can be confident that the color didn't come from cobalt and was likely iridium after all. I do find it odd how quickly and easily the button you got melted, though. I think iridium or an Ir-Pt alloy with lots of Ir would be nearly impossible to melt with an oxy-acetylene torch - it doesn't form a eutectic system. I'm going to guess that either there's a third metal present in large quantities, or it was mostly platinum but that the iridium is brightly colored enough in its ammonium chloride complex to impart a pink color anyway. Looking forward to finding out what it's made of!
13:30 At this point, is all the zinc in the clear solution? If so, what form is it in? Is it zinc chloride (ZnCl2) at this point? Will you ever recover the zinc?
13:12 To solve the problem of decantation by rinsing, I recommend a new rigid filter with a ceramic appearance made of a fiberglass filter that prevents the passage of particles of the approximate size. Similar in size to the H1N1 virus and it clears up very well, it even allows rinsing in the ultrasonic bath and fits well in almost all glasses. Pilex looks like a bowl but does not support heat. I have seen them in the new courses of INEM to get the acid and solvent handling certificate in a free course. Contact Lanbide maybe they can advise you
When you put borax on top of the material in the crucible and heat it - you can get less borax splatter if you keep the flame well away from the material until the borax melts. It takes quite a bit longer, but is not as messy.
Missing from my periodic element collection: Iridium and Rhodium... I am happy to have witnessed the birth of that iridium button. If it's 2.4 grams like another poster said I'd be happier for you even !
It would be great one day if you could show the difference with gold in solution example 5 ounces in 500ml of solution to 500ml of water. Just the weight difference is amazing. Cool show. Thankyou as always.👍
I did this experiment in a previous video. Search “wohlwill” on my channel. The experiment is embedded in the videos. Measure the weight of a volume of gold in solution against the same volume of water. There’s a big difference.
I looked away for a second because my airpods died. When I looked back there was scissors headed for what I thought was his thumb and it scared me. Lol… I feel dumb. 🤦♂️😂😂😂
is that a specialty melt crucible for the high temps? ive only seen you use that a few times over the years.... when you cut the glove finger off om man ROFL!!
Is the Maybe-Iridium button actually two metals? It's looks like one floated on top of the other during the melt and froze in that position. It will be interesting to see what the xrf results are. Is it possible to calculate the density of the button through displacement or would that involve instruments that you don't have for measuring the displaced amount of water? Great video again - can't wait for the next (final?) installment.
Hi doctor I am so happy you all time make videos and so happy you read comments and help people like us I have question -for evaporations we need stair magnet bar?
So which is the more precious metal, gold or platinum? Platinum is more scarce, yet is valued less than gold. Which has more industrial application / value? Still gold?
Throughout most of history, platinum has had a higher price than gold. The main reasons are its rarity and greater density; I would assume from this video series that another reason might be that it's harder to refine. In recent years, however, gold's price has been higher than platinum's. The main reasons are that various industries have increased their demand for gold while the auto industry (and related industries that produce internal combustion engines) has reduced its demand by shifting to relatively more use of palladium in catalytic converters starting in about the 1990s. I would guess that over the course of years or decades, the effects of these trends will settle out in such a way that their prices return to their "normal" historical order, with platinum at a higher price than gold.
@@sreetips I just read an article claiming that the huge increase in production of solar panels will be using a lot of Silver. Enough that it could push up the price.
I disagree about the rinsing. In fact, I would say that one of the things that make your videos immensely satisfying is the rinsing. Seeing the clean clear liquid cleansing the clear glass just feels right in my brain. Maybe that's strange, but the rinsing is where it's at.
4 parts and still haven't seen any bromate. :D (At least this hasn't been "Boron" ... doesn't quite go rhyme with boring now does it 🤔) I guess at 5th part we are going to see some of that then. I know chemistry is tedious and time consuming even though some reactions are very fast and violent ones. Looking your videos I began to question if it was a mistake when I went to vocation school to become laboratory assistant/laborant in my country over 20 years ago. In middle school (or what ever the equivalent is when I was a teenager) I took an interest in chemistry and got to that school, was my 3rd choice, had bad grades for the first two choices, and also quite low for that one too. Math was never my thing and it showed, still I got through the school and have been laborant ever since 2003. Hot damn its been 20 years, oh well, time flies.
Love your videos, thank you for sharing such useful information. Quick question, do you mind sharing the process needed to convert gold into small grains almost like flour? (texture would be similar to corn flour)
So does the zinc chloride simply evaporate as a gas? That seems like a lot of zinc to be converted into a gas and released out of the hood. Does any zinc remain to contaminate the platinum?
Hello Mr sreetips. What a reaction whit the Zinc... Man..Yust that people understand sir.. Wat would happen if you forget to take on the glub, when you casting in the zinc sir? God forbidden, but so people understand... Thank you for this 4 clip series. Stay safe, god bles you both my friend🌹🌹Arne 🇳🇴Norway
haha, I'm on 1'31" curious if you will be able to melt the AR residue. Birght as the sun? I'm placing my bets here. well theoretically it should be possible with Acetylene. To me you will make history here haha.
4'20" HAHAA you did it. Guess you where lucky to ran out of gas just when you had burned the papers. I'm pretty sure you are one of the first hobby refiners to melt the metal that usually comes from space.
Rinsing the PGM percipitate was not boring. I could see different refraction in the rinsewater. That is caused by layers of different concentration/densities of Zinc Salts.
So you started with 13.7 and as of both weights you are about 14.5. What part am I missing where you gained weight? I've watched them all and am puzzled
So I think we'll get all the Platinum group metals out of solution but using other chemicals you only get most of the metal out of solution some will stay behind correct
Correct, and after doing a little more research, the bromate hydrolysis is best suited for platinum that’s already fairly pure - like 990 parts per thousand. Also, iridium, if present, is difficult to remove with the hydrolysis. Didn’t find this out until after I began the series.
@@sreetips I remember seeing Nile red using bromite in an experiment but it's been so long ago I'm very interested in seeing what you've got in store for us in episode 5
And forgot ask next my question I have solution and I don’t know what do I do I hope you help me I have solutions containing(Au-Pt-Pd-Rh) i want separate them what is your suggestion? I don’t have DMG...but i can make gas generation(CL2) please help me.🙏
I’d drop the gold with SMB. Then cement everything on zinc, dry, ship to the refiner that gives credit for the platinum group metals. Trying to separate the PGMs yourself is too difficult.
My wife wants to know why I’m moping around and not out in my shop working on the video. I told her, “because I’m not sure what to do next.” She said, “why not?” I said, “because I’ve never done this before and I’m terrified that it will fail.” She said, “that’s it! Get out there and melt that metal into a button and get it over with!” But for the sake of my channel, and for the science and for discovery, I’m forging ahead and I’ll get it done come hell or high water. But I’ll be glad when this is DONE!
I fail to understand, that you continue to add expensive chemicals to your processes, and your time spent, just to extract a few cent's worth of precious metal.
Howdy Mr. Sreetips... Been watching your videos now for a few months. This series though...I dunno if you're just playing the UA-cam algorithm to get more views or what....Part 5??? You have to order some chemicals and wait for them to arrive??? What?? I'm sorry Sir, I'm not buying that. Your every move in your procedures are very much calculated and here you are towards the end of this process and only NOW do you realize you need to order chemicals before doing part 5? I doubt that!!!! You probably go into your house and tell yourself you need 500ml of coffee and 150ml of creamer and 2 grams of sugar. You've already completed this project and are waiting a few days before posting additional videos for the sole purpose of (as another commentator said) "keep us at edge of our seats". Seriously Mr. Sreetips....That's freaking annoying. Just post the damn video and be done. Dragging it on and on makes me lose interest. Next time, I'm just gonna hold off watching parts 1, 2, 3 etc video and just click on the last one. Mr. Sreetips....I admire your knowledge, I do. But you need to just do the entire process, edit the video and condense it into 1 video....MAYBE 2....5 videos??? No Sir. I'll watch something else. 😌
Wow Mike .... Do you always react this way when things don't go your way Mike??? Cuz WOW 😳... Rude springs to mind Mike... Or childlike... I could go on but .... Why bother .. I love when a scientist takes the time to think about his reaction...An what's next...see that's why everyone else egarly waits for what's next...cuz as we all Kno(an clearly you don't) Streetips is researching ways an what he can do next to make the refining more pure .. But your child like need for Instant gratification made you leave a child like comment.... All that played in my head whilst reading your child like comment was .. crying, stomping an yelling.. I want my way.. I want my way!!! So maybe instead of being child like be adult like... Good luck
@@sreetips I really hope you ignore such boo hoo tantrums as this comment.... I've been watching for years... Don't change a thing Streetips.. Especially for these unscientific minds such as this run on sentence above...
@@donnakawana "rude"? I don't believe I was being "rude". I told him I admire him or did you miss that part? And if by chance you read my other comments in his other videos, you'll see I give him very HIGH acknowledgement. So, please point out words I said to this gentleman as being "rude" or "childlike". I didn't call him names, I didn't make fun of him, tease him in any sort of fashion. I, his subscriber and watcher made a very clean and clear comment....in short, STOP dragging it out. In other words (which I also stated), make/take the WHOLE video, start to finish AND THEN edit and post the video as a whole. I'm a woodworker by trade and Craftsman for 40 years now. If you were to watch a video of me building a table and the process, shall I then make it a 5 part video showing you the process of which I square a board and sand it, that's part 1, ripping the board, part 2, here's my glue, here's my clamps part 3 etc etc etc and it's 2-3 weeks before you see how to complete the project? Ummm. Nooo. Each one of those steps can be a specific video in of itself solely discussing "that" topic. But my video in this example is about making a table. Where's the Table??? Video 5? Video 6? You getting my point here? The video was building a table. Not sanding, not gluing. BUILDING a table. Period. I can show snippets of the sanding, gluing, clamping but the "audience" wants to see a table being built. I have and am still working on an EXTREMELY high detailed Double Mailbox "Makeover" I've been building for over 14 weeks now and probably have another 4 weeks of work left in it. Most of the remaining is very detailed hard carving and hand made/carved lighting fixtures which I'm currently doing now. Would you enjoy a near 20 week video of my process or would you like all of that condensed and edited into a SINGLE 30 minute video? See my point?
The upshot I get from this series is that if you're a garden-shed refiner, it's best to sell your PGMs to a refiner and focus on gold and silver.
What I get is "do it once for fun or the experience" but yeah, It looks like something I wouldnt want to repeat.

Been watching your videos now for a few months. This series though...I dunno if you're just playing the UA-cam algorithm to get more views or what....Part 5??? You have to order some chemicals and wait for them to arrive??? What?? I'm sorry Sir, I'm not buying that. Your every move in your procedures are very much calculated and here you are towards the end of this process and only NOW do you realize you need to order chemicals before doing part 5?
I doubt that!!!! You probably go into your house and tell yourself you need 500ml of coffee and 150ml of creamer and 2 grams of sugar.
You've already completed this project and are waiting a few days before posting additional videos for the sole purpose of (as another commentator said) "keep us at edge of our seats".
Seriously Mr. Sreetips....That's freaking annoying. Just post the damn video and be done. Dragging it on and on makes me lose interest.
Next time, I'm just gonna hold off watching parts 1, 2, 3 etc video and just click on the last one.
Mr. Sreetips....I admire your knowledge, I do. But you need to just do the entire process, edit the video and condense it into 1 video....MAYBE 2....5 videos??? No Sir. I'll watch something else. 😌
I’m taking a breather because I really don’t know what to do next.
Wow Mike .... Do you always react this way when things don't go your way Mike??? Cuz WOW 😳... Rude springs to mind Mike... Or childlike... I could go on but .... Why bother .. I love when a scientist takes the time to think about his reaction...An what's next...see that's why everyone else egarly waits for what's next...cuz as we all Kno(an clearly you don't) Streetips is researching ways an what he can do next to make the refining more pure .. But your child like need for Instant gratification made you leave a child like comment.... All that played in my head whilst reading your child like comment was .. crying, stomping an yelling.. I want my way.. I want my way!!!
So maybe instead of being child like be adult like... Good luck
@@sreetips I really hope you ignore such boo hoo tantrums as this comment.... I've been watching for years... Don't change a thing Streetips.. Especially for these unscientific minds such as this run on sentence above...
@@donnakawana "rude"? I don't believe I was being "rude". I told him I admire him or did you miss that part? And if by chance you read my other comments in his other videos, you'll see I give him very HIGH acknowledgement.
So, please point out words I said to this gentleman as being "rude" or "childlike". I didn't call him names, I didn't make fun of him, tease him in any sort of fashion.
I, his subscriber and watcher made a very clean and clear comment....in short, STOP dragging it out. In other words (which I also stated), make/take the WHOLE video, start to finish AND THEN edit and post the video as a whole.
I'm a woodworker by trade and Craftsman for 40 years now. If you were to watch a video of me building a table and the process, shall I then make it a 5 part video showing you the process of which I square a board and sand it, that's part 1, ripping the board, part 2, here's my glue, here's my clamps part 3 etc etc etc and it's 2-3 weeks before you see how to complete the project? Ummm. Nooo. Each one of those steps can be a specific video in of itself solely discussing "that" topic. But my video in this example is about making a table. Where's the Table??? Video 5? Video 6? You getting my point here? The video was building a table. Not sanding, not gluing. BUILDING a table. Period. I can show snippets of the sanding, gluing, clamping but the "audience" wants to see a table being built.
I have and am still working on an EXTREMELY high detailed Double Mailbox "Makeover" I've been building for over 14 weeks now and probably have another 4 weeks of work left in it. Most of the remaining is very detailed hard carving and hand made/carved lighting fixtures which I'm currently doing now.
Would you enjoy a near 20 week video of my process or would you like all of that condensed and edited into a SINGLE 30 minute video?
See my point?
