The runoff water from the cassava soaks poisoned the local river system and killed all the aquatic life... Even insects were all dead. They did not talk about this in the video, but they mentioned that the noodle factory was going to have to close. This locally grown cassava had the highest concentration of cyanogenic glycosides that anyone had ever seen, when mixed with water enzymes converted the glycoside into hydrogen cyanide and into the creek it went.

    Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent and can react with many metals. When nitric acid is used on a mixture of metals, metals less noble than silver (such as iron, copper, zinc) will oxidize and dissolve as ionized salts, while silver, which is more noble, does not react as strongly and can thus be separated.

If they got the compressors for free and the labor for free, it still doesn't look like they would be in the black. Those 5 silver bars look like about 10 troy ozs each, at 300$ per bar...provided those five were the output for the day, their neting about 1500$ in silver. Very thin margin.

      Silver is more of a byproduct of the operation - not the main income source. If you click on the the uploaders channel you'll see they used the same footage in a video about recycling copper since the motors inside the compressors contain 1.5 to 5lbs of copper each. I've also heard of these things getting flushed, refilled with oil and sold as "remanufactured" compressors for ACs and fridges.
