24K Gold Refining from Computer Parts - the Complete Process + Chemicals Cost

Glad I found your channel. Best explanation that I’ve found on the internet. Looking forward to more videos. Keep up the good work. Liked and subscribed👍

Definitely one of the finer video’s on PM recovery, there’s a plethora of poor ones! Very honest also, I’ve looked at these sellers and always thought their prices are inflated and it’s all overrated but people keep these fools in business?! If people would only stop buying it all until they brought the prices down drastically, because your experiment yielded a 50% loss and you didn’t include your time and effort! I personally do it as a hobby and all the computer parts are for free so then it might be worth the effort, but I would never pay what they ask. New sub 👌

You dont need to use sulfuric acid if youre just processing fingers. The only time you need sulfuric is when solder could have been present like when doing jewelery. And ive said in so many of my videos that its nearly imposible to make aprofit when buying fromebay. People on there ask rediculous prices

Shout out to my boi sreetips

When acid etching you should let the hydrogen peroxide and Hcl mix sit for a couple of days or you could dissolve gold into the solution. You probably got lucky because of the amount of material and plated base metals you has.

I plan on doing a video soon and trying to work out the cost along the way😅

Excellent Vid. As an economist and a refiner and a prospector as well, I really appreciated your comprehensive assessment. Well done you!! There is too much BS out there on the 'value' (not) of most E-Waste.

These are all timpe lapsed for obvious reasons. But this process takes FOREVER! KARAT scrap in AP is the way to go.

But I’m just watching for first time today did you hold on to the gold it’s worth try a lot more today

Before I do my very first process of recovering gold was wondering do I actually need a CorningWare dish between the beaker and the hot plate, I actually have bought a magnetic stirring hotplate and wondering if that makes any difference as they are made for that? It's a $250 one not just a cheap one 🤔 I realize that maybe a good for extra precautionary reasons in case of breakage but also use Basilica glass wondering if that makes a difference as well thought you might know. The extra layer may affect the magnetic stirrer

You can take sulphuric and and potassium nitrate together and distill it off to get nitric if you needed but that’s even more equipment but can safe some money. Save even more and just get the gold stuff yourself for free if you could lol

I get concentrated nitric for $30 a gallon locally, $28 for concentrated sulfuric and $30 for 30% hydrogen peroxide

You can make stannous chloride by dissolving tin in hydrochloric acid which allows you to make it on the fly and no shelf life worries

Can you help I melted my gold in the nitric acid wash and tried putting sodium met and it’s not working

Thanks I get my ram free got 3000 ram sticks an lot more of others

How do you remove gold from ap solution

Ps.. Sorry for you non profittclip. It is a shame that some people doing that kind of thing Scott. Arne
