eWaste Gold Mining: "Wet Stipping" (Acid)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- If there is a such thing as "Wet Ashing" then I am calling this "Wet Stripping." Time to process thousands of sticks of DDR2, DDR3, and DDR4 RAM. As always, protective gear is a must. This is not a demo, and I hope those watching these videos remember that I am geared up, and that these acids are no joke.
Stay Safe!

And as always,
Please Like and Subscribe. This hobby is not free for me. Propane, crucibles, rigidizer and other consumable resources are going to cost me a bit each month. Please help me out so I can keep providing videos. - Навчання та стиль

He does a great job. His focus is just a little different then mine. And from what I have seen of his, he only jumps into computer scrap a few times. Really fun guy to watch. Good to see others are eager to share his channel :). That makes me happy.
Thank you for checking out this video.

True, that is his channel name.
@@badideametals yes was just correcting the original comment in case anyone wanted to see what they were talking about. Great video btw I've been considering depopulating all my PCBs the same way.
This process did do 2 unexpected things for me.
1. I no longer need to intentionally "make" SnCl (Staneous Chloride) as it is now an unexpected product of reusing my CuCl (Copper Chloride) to do the depop. All too often, I find my SnCl has "expired" to exposure or I just use it up, and get lazy to make more. Problem no longer.
2. I no longer have to recover my Copper from CuCl using Iron. I saw the copper recovery as a waste of Iron just to get the Copper to precipitate out of CuCl. I want the dirty Copper back for use in other reactions and processes that I have. Funny, now I don't need to find a way to dispose of my Ferrous Chloride (FeCl) since I will no longer be making any :)
In short, I have found this takes a bit of time... admittedly, I could have depoped the chips off and other surface mount stuff faster. The clipping of fingers give me blisters ... so I don't miss that. But in general, this process is slower. But I am seeing less negatives overall. And ... it is scalable. I would have to have more of me if I still scraped them off by hand, and clipped the fingers. This way, I just set out a new bucket when I want more to get done faster. It does cost me more HCl eventually (when I want to do the fingers... that needs clean HCl or CuCl).
Thank you for your comment. Stay safe in your work too. This can be rewarding. And you probably already know this,... it can be dangerous in an instant.
