I still remember the first time I shouted you out! Been watching for a while now. Your getting your 400 more hours. Watch you on all our devices tonight when everyone is asleep! Like having 4 people binge watch all night!!!
I saw a video once of a facility in Japan that was doing gold recovery on an industrial scale, the amount of gold they were recovering was amazing. Massive amounts of electronics as raw material though.
I've been watching these videos for a while now and I'm very interested In trying this process, the trouble I'm having is I can't seem to find anywhere selling the chemicals necessary for the recovery process, could you recommend a good source or supplier in Ireland??
@@ScrappingIrish I've tried contacting a couple of companies and I'm struggling to find a company who can supply the acids without needing a VAT number off me
What are your ratios for proper recovery? A lot youtubers are not really putting a ratio on what to add. With streetips he has a aqua regia ratio that is 10:1 (hci: nitric) but he didnt say how much gold is going to be needed to get a good solution
You are a lot of youtubers don't give ratios including me, it all depends on the type of materials, but going forward I will try and remember to put ratios, at the moment wheen I do aqua regia I just cover the materials with hcl and just add 1ml of nitric every hour until all materials are dissolve that way I don't have to nuterlise as much nitric at the end which was a pain, thanks for watching and commenting
Double, double toil and trouble; Acid burn and caldron bubble. For a charm of powerful gold Sorry every time I see something bubbling away ...MacBeth come to mind! 😁😁😁
cool vid buddy tho jour jars are too tight for that i find out just small glass bowl does well cause all condensation drop back and there is still some air access what is necessary for the reaction wow quarter of liter of nitric what the point of filtering at this stage ? just add HCl disolve gold and then filter and participate and job done tho it is your way so I'm gonna look it through 😀👍😀 for that type of plugs you need ic chip crusher lol that does the job
Boss when i use per gm smb for per gm gold , i have no result .but use more smb then result slowly.Boss what is the problem plese tell me? my assermant summary 1.gold foil may be 4 to 5 gram. 2.aqua regia solution 200ml(50ml HNO3 and 150ml HCL) 3.Filter the solution 4.use urea when there is no more reaction with the urea. (use more urea i filter the solution agin ) 5.total distilled water use 100ml 6.smb use at fast 2gm with warm distilled water 30ml, after that 3gm smb with warm distilled water50ml, my solution is dark but gold dust no settle down. 2 to 3 hours after i heat the solution. my solution is clean.i cool the solution and i use 7gm smb step by step with warm distilled water .my solution is orange color.i keep the solution 24 hours .gold dust settle down slowlly.Boss plese help me.
What acid are you using the one I use is the 3m one but there is no mask that will give you full protection always use a fume hood or do your acid work outside
I use urea to nuterlise nitric acid and smb to drop gold, only use same amount of smb weight as amount of gold you expect to get, if you think you have 3 grams of gold only use 3 or 4 gram of smb
You keep saying something about putting on your mask to avoid the fumes. Please understand that respirator filters/cartridges that deal with nitrogen dioxide gas DO NOT EXSIST!!
@@ScrappingIrish Yes sir that's what I'm sayin. The dissolution of base metals in the nitric acid forms HIGHLY TOXIC & EXTREMELY CORROSIVE Nitrogen Dioxide gas. As far as I know there's no such thing as a respirator cartridge that filters nitrogen dioxide. I could be wrong, however I learned everything I know from either the gold refining forum, or videos made by Sreetips. They seem to be about the best sources of CORRECT info on the recovery and refining of precious metals. Please understand I'm not trying to belittle you in any way. Myself as well as many many others very much enjoy your videos, and as this is such a dangerous process... Safety 1st! No matter how I learn it. Others passed the knowledge to me. Its now my obligation to do the same. Any day I'm able to enjoy my hobby in just a little bit safer of a way is a good day! Gr8 job makin your videos! Keep em comin!
Thanks for the great information yes safety first I will do more research into the filters as I got the highest grade filters I could find, thanks for watching I really appreciate it
@@ScrappingIrish I know but I would think that the gold has residual nitric in or on it and idk be enough left in it to make aqua regia when u put some hcl on it?
Hi Irish! This video is a good demonstration of dissolving pins in nitric acid.... but it's not practicable any more. Probably this was the easiest way to go for any beginner about 15 years ago but not now. Going this way value of acid will be more than price of gold you recover. Besides most of the pins contain lead. One way or other. Either as a solder or in the alloy itself. As an end result this produces metastannic acid, something extremely difficult to filter. Most of us using either reserve electroplating or selective leaching
I'm brand new to scrapping, correct me if I'm wrong but it's €33 a litre of Nitric Acid - surely if you have a lot of components to yield gold from it is worth it?
On average pins are not the great the chips on the boards are better, 1lb of pins depending on the plating give about 0.2 to 0.5 of a gram of gold while you can get 1 gram from a 1lb of ram chips
Boss at fast only nitric acid and distril water uses 14 mobil phone. i get about 0.035 grams gold foil.i uses aqua regia solutin (50ml HNO3 +150ml HCL). nitrolize of nitirc acid by urea when there is no more reaction .i see that urea uses more over but i filter the solution and remove of urea.when i uses smb 0.5 grems but color is no change , so that uses more and more smb maybe 4 grams .at present solution color is light red .Boss i don"t get result. Boss plese help me what is my problems? i fill tension.
you can use nail clippers to remove those small pins.... does not work everytime as the plastic can become weak over time and snap too easily... great video, glad someone is talking for once..... '' }
Boss what is the better systems uses of smb.Dry smb or mixed water smb plese tell me .if mixed water with smb ,so that how much per gm gold for per gm smb .

I saw a video once of a facility in Japan that was doing gold recovery on an industrial scale, the amount of gold they were recovering was amazing. Massive amounts of electronics as raw material though.
Ya I think I seen that also and they used the waste to heat and run the place
@@ScrappingIrish I think so ! I wish I could find it again, I randomly ran across it one day.
@@CruiserMac I think this might be it ua-cam.com/video/toijA2e1sLw/v-deo.html
Use cutters on the plastic to remove the pins...a lil more work but its better than dealing with plastic bits after using the acid
🚨 Safety tip for you: If you’re using high purity nitric acid DO NOT WEAR GLOVES.
Thanks for the advice
You can wear gloves just not Nitrile, they can burst into Flames in contact with Nitric Acid
@@mouldykev thanks kev for the info
@@ScrappingIrish glad to help a fellow scrapper 😎
I'm enjoying watching you run these experiments. I feel like I should have a notebook out and be scribbling notes.

I love all your videos I wish I could make my video's as interesting as you do
Seems this Sreetips gets around. Heheh.
@@ScrappingIrish what kind of filter do you use? What is the brand name?
Double, double toil and trouble;
Acid burn and caldron bubble.
For a charm of powerful gold

wow quarter of liter of nitric
what the point of filtering at this stage ? just add HCl disolve gold and then filter and participate and job done tho it is your way so I'm gonna look it through 😀👍😀
for that type of plugs you need ic chip crusher lol that does the job
Ya I need to invest in bigger glassware
Boss thank you, Boss can i use distilled water of the aqua regia solution when put on the gold foil and filtering process.
What do I do now I have the acid solution but it dont look blue it looks brown
Thanks for the step by step presentation alot easy to know 👍
Boss i make aqua regia solution 120ml(HNO3-68%and HCL-31%) for only 14 mobil phone board .any problem plese tell me.
9:28 unfortunate box placement
100ml , is that 4 fluid ounces ??
Is nitric acid the same as lead acid batteries??
Not a clue i work in new money only sir lol
Would love to see sreetips on your chat about gold and silver refining.
Will see what I can do
Boss when i use per gm smb for per gm gold , i have no result .but use more smb then result slowly.Boss what is the problem plese tell me? my assermant summary 1.gold foil may be 4 to 5 gram.
2.aqua regia solution 200ml(50ml HNO3 and 150ml HCL)
3.Filter the solution
4.use urea when there is no more reaction with the urea. (use more urea i filter the solution agin )
5.total distilled water use 100ml

Sometime the gold takes longer to settle
Nitric acid minimum time required
What is a good gas mask to buy for handling nitric acid??
How about the mask question?
What acid are you using the one I use is the 3m one but there is no mask that will give you full protection always use a fume hood or do your acid work outside
@@ScrappingIrish tkx
Right

boss which time i urderstand the nitrolise of nitirc acid aqua regia solution @@ScrappingIrish
brother i want to ask a question
can i get gold if we burn cell fone cards with ic chips and direct reaction with nitric acid for gold extraction
Boss thank you.
You keep saying something about putting on your mask to avoid the fumes. Please understand that respirator filters/cartridges that deal with nitrogen dioxide gas DO NOT EXSIST!!
Thanks for the information, that's also why I do it mostly outside and the filters I use are mainly for the acid fumes

Boss how are you ,i am fine .boss i get 3 grams gold and 45 grams silver from 320 cell phone boards and some air parts.
That is good we'll done
After do I just put in HCL to make aqua regia?
You need hcl and nitric to make aqua regia
@@ScrappingIrish I know but I would think that the gold has residual nitric in or on it and idk be enough left in it to make aqua regia when u put some hcl on it?
@@raymondreyes8046 i always wash the foil incase there's trace tin left on them and use fresh nitric
Does same method work on cpus??
Will be doing a video on cpus and ceramic cpus soon
Boss thank you

I like gold recovery!
I’ve got a few bits, pins, joints etc, what kind of quantity would you suggest I get together to make it worthwhile?
On average pins are not the great the chips on the boards are better, 1lb of pins depending on the plating give about 0.2 to 0.5 of a gram of gold while you can get 1 gram from a 1lb of ram chips
Scrapping Irish thank you sir. At the rate I get viable stuff I should have a pound by the time I’m fifty!
@@bigsamthescrapman6995 lol I know that feeling check with your local computer repair shop they might have old boards they can give you
Boss thank you for you information.i hope that you will all time help me .i belive it .
Where do you get your nitric from?
Send me a email and I can email you who I got it off
Boss have you any melting vedio? plese give me a melting vedio.Boss don"t mind .
Sorry not yet

Think you put too much nitric in for the amount of foils
Thank you boss.i will melting with borax powder.

Boss what is the better systems uses of smb.Dry smb or mixed water smb plese tell me .if mixed water with smb ,so that how much per gm gold for per gm smb .
I use 1 gram of smb per gram of gold and I put in warm distilled water first
Boss gold foil with some water any probem for reaction of aqua regia solution plese tell me.
no need to add water to aqua regia and if you do make sure its distilled water
Boss i get gold dust powder .Now directly melting or others workes.plese tell me
You can put into aqua regia again to increase the purirty or just melt
Boss i strat new asserment .
Boss which time i understand that nitrolizes of nitric acid plese tell me
When there is no more reaction with the urea
Nice video I'm new so I'm learning nice information thank you
