  • I use Pure Silver Crystal to inquart the Karat Gold instead of the usual Sterling Silver. The inquarted gold looked much different. It was gorgeous 6k gold that had a very unique shine.

    I'm not sure if this video is related to the comment I made 2 weeks ago about using pure silver instead of sterling, but in any case thank you for taking the time to educate us once again.
    First, this inquarted gold looked stunning. Pretiest shots on this channel i saw so far. I understand better why you prefer sterling even if it looked a bit less dirty after only one refining. Yes it's cleaner, but by using sterling you can do a double refining (gold + silver) and it's also easier to see when the nitric boils are over. The good thing is that you can recycle the silver indefintly if for some reason you run out of sterling. Crazy pretty ingot at the end as well. Also remember you left some crumble at the first filtration. That missing gram is probably there. Well done!

    You have inspired me to try this for myself. The thought of having a hobby that pays for itself is very appealing.
    The chemistry part is easy, as well as the acquisition of scrap to refine, but I would love to see a complete soup to nuts series on waste treatment. I have a strict rule on the farm here where I live and run my heavy equipment repair business. We don't allow anything toxic to go down the drain or hit the ground out here where we also garden and raise chickens. My grandkids drink from our deep well and eat the food we produce and we are sticklers about waste management.

      Review his video library. He’s done a waste treatment video.
      His waste streams are iron sludges and various salts (chloride, sulfate, nitrate).
      By keeping things like lead and mercury out of his process, the iron sludges can be sent to the dump and the salt solutions can go to the city sewer, especially at these low volumes.
      He generates a pure copper mud that is probably scrappable.
      To my mind, obtaining the raw materials is the only thing from keeping me from jumping into this on a hobby scale.

      It made some very clean looking inquarted gold. That’s because there’s less copper. The main problem, as stated in the video, once it’s dissolved out with nitric, it must be cemented and run back through the silver cell. Using pure silver to inquart gold is like taking a step backwards.

    That would be from pure silver crystal & pure gold, 3:1, which would avoid all the impurities, but yet give that iridescent looking 6K product?
    I just suggest because it would allow you to split up one Ozt of gold into like 4 pieces that you could sell, possibly increasing the amount of people who can buy a Sreetips unique creation, and maybe increasing your own profits?

    I often wondered why you were using scrap sterling to inquart when you have such an abundance of pure silver to work with. :) Results turned out fabulously :)

      His pure Ag is a production goal. Just the same as his pure Au production.
      It defeats the purpose of the whole operation to return you won and refined products back to the headworks.

    Masterpiece bar there. Chunky. Maybe the refiner you deal with will ask you for a few tips on how to do a professional job 😄

      They did contact me and wanted to know if I could handle their overload customers and process gold filled for them. I respectfully declined. If I’d have taken that then my beautiful hobby would become work.
