Well, #Sreetips shows and tells it all. This person isn't telling you the dangers of them fumes. He isn't telling you the amounts needed per gram of each to make the inquartations etc. Breaking the gold button down to smaller bits gets you better results. Hes good but no King.
Even just selling it as "Flaked off the pcb" is way better! Big bag of those flakes would be cheaper to ship/sell than a big bag of boards! Good educational video! 👍
Yes and no he honestly could've processed a bit more and the flakes store the only thing I didn't care for was jumping to smelting because it's more efficient at higher weight to fully purify
for anyone wondering. This is not worth it unless done on the large scale. small things like this is merely a hobby because the cost for all the materials needed to reprocess this combined with the labor+time factor is a largely diminished return. but at a certain capacity the results will outweigh the costs because more can be done at once.

Very good tutorial. Silver was the right choice of inqurting metal for this because the initial metal had a high concentration of silver. They plate the copper with silver then with gold. A gram for a pickle jar of fingers isnt bad 😁❤
From my experience, there is no silver between copper and gold. I sent a sample of my recycled gold to a smelter and they confirmed 999/1000 purity. That's just melted gold flakes as received after the etching process, no further refining. Some PCB manufacturers use Nickel-Gold for plating, that results in a very fine gold powder which I do not collect. Only very cheap PCI cards have that. The gold strips I have are from servers and they seem to use "better" gold.
Hello - so you removed the gold fingers and melted them with residual copper and board material still attached? I believe that is what I will do as well using this method to purify after. Great video!!
what do you do with the used nitric acid? and why do you need to add sliver to the mix only to have to participate it back out of solution? just asking.
Just a quick note. When straining.... If you wait a bit, the gold flakes will settle to the bottom (think panning for gold). You can siphon the majority of the water/vinegar off, without the need of straining, potentially spilling the loquid and gold.
You should have NOT done the first melt. All that does is make it hard to dissolve things later. You also don't need the silver inquart. Dissolve the gold flecks in aqua regia. This will go quickly as the metal is in thin flake form. Then add a little sulfuric acid to precipitate any lead. Neutralize the excess nitric acid with urea or sulfamic acid. Then precipitate out the gold with sodium meta-bisulfite, rinse with HCl & water, & catch on the filter paper & melt.
I guess the gradual green coloring of the acid is copper acetate. Why the gold goes nuggety I have no idea. I always were curious on how´s and why´s to separate alloys and such. Where can I find out ?
Hi there. Have recently taking a liking to precious metals in scrap and have found your videos extremely interesting. I am only 20 and living out of my car. I have few questions and I hope I don't seem stupid to everyone in the comments but when you heat and melt the precious metals, do they ever dissolve and loseva certain percentage? Also when combing thevsilve and gold to get purity, what percentage was the silver 92.5 or 99.9? Thanks for showing us🎉
It gives security,, knowledge to get yours different options of creation of wealth,, it is not about profit, it is about being proud to know that you can create opportunities for wealth
how many times can you use the acid or do you have to buy new acid every time cuz that's only like $50 worth of gold and I'm pretty sure those chemicals you got cost more than that so not viable unless you can reuse the chemicals
About how much h acidity does the vinegar have to be my guess your useing something very high in acidity like a cleaning vinegar something over way 6% acidity will this be true Thank you in advance
I seen where people do this in poorer countries because for them it is profitable. That was several years ago i saw a video on it, didn't sound like this was being done on large scale in many places due to the margins. Idk if that's changed
Gold does not react to the chimical so they have to include silver to activate the disolving of the gold and it will help purify the gold by iliminating all other metal like lead steel and others.
1 cup of hydrogen peroxide 1 cup of peroxide 3 table spoons of sea salt. Works like a charm. A bubbler truly helps to agitate the gold from the metals. I was impressed.
I gave a small list of chemical costs in my region; Nitric acid per liter - $1.05 Hydrochloric acid per liter - $0.20 Sulfuric acid per liter - $0.30 Sodium metabisulphite per kg -$1

There was a lot of materials and chemicals used in this process, and the gas torch etc. How much did all of that cost? How much was 1g of gold worth? In other words, was there actually any profit here? Taking into account your profit against the amount of hours put in, would your hourly rate be higher than say, a cleaner?

One gram of gold from two pounds of fingers..is a good profit..its alot of money fir theses people in theses Countrys..nice job brother
If the silver dissolves then why mix it with silver in the first place?
Pan for gold best hobby i ever had . 40 years net me 5 pounds. Im not selling to many memories involved.
i'd be too tempted to melt it down and make cool bars and coins out of it
dudem. gold is like over 1000 dollars an ounce. sell that shit
Over £2000 per oz. so multiply that by 16 for a pound = £32k x 5. You could buy a house.
