You caught that!

The most accurate way I know of is chemical analysis; dissolve 1g of test metal in nitric acid and look for any color. 3 9's silver dissolved in dilute nitric acid will be totally clear. Stannous test will be white. The more color you have, usually blue from copper, means more impure. Store tests in test tubes and compare.

@anthonythomasfmg Thank you. That might indicate that a spectrometer could be used to quantify the results. Basically it is an instrument that shines light through solutions and looks at the rainbow results.

Let me know if you have questions.

Very sorry to hear about your fire, but you can definetly get your gold back! The 4 horsemen isn't your first step, because I try to keep iron and aluminum out of the system for the most part. In your case smelting would be the best first step. I would take the metal that I thought had my gold in it and melt it together with an equal amount of copper and soda ash to oxidize the iron and aluminum out of your prill and increase the copper content. (Prill) the metal that you will be left with after you melt. Then go to the 4 Horsemen system or just dissolve the prill in nitric acid. What ever doesn't dissolve into the nitric is your gold. Caution you are going to use a lot of nitric if you go this route. That is kind of why I came up with my system. Nitric is faster if you had a lot of gold it would be worth the expense of the nitric. If you had silver then your silver will be in the nitric solution and can be precipitated out by adding pieces of copper metal and the silver metal will precipitate out as cement silver. I hope this information helps, God Bless.

@anthonythomasfmg this helps a extremely large amount, thank you, just to be awkward though, what happens if I say accidentally contaminated one of four horsemen with something like iron or aluminium? Could that be recoverable? Or would it have to be neutralised and re-smelted with more copper?

Ferrous sulphate and zinc keeps coming to mind but I don't quite understand enough to create more new steps.

Typically iron and aluminum will drop all other metals out so you could just flood that solution with iron and collect your other metals as sludge, dry them, and remelt. Or you can try platinized anode with nickel cathode and try to electrolyze solution, but you may have to adjust ph upwards slowly to get good results.

Melt it in there, it will all come out in the end.

The sediment in the aspirator bottle is the prize. I collect and save this material because it usually has other precious metals in it (PGM). Then I refine it when I have a few hundred grams or so. Thanks so much!

My experience, although limited in this area, is the chlorine gas dissolves the rubber stoppers that I buy on line. HCL will soften them but hold up better. With chlorine gas I get a sludge that's hard to clean off the glass and the stopper fails. Wrapping in teflon pipe thread has worked very well for many runs. Thanks for watching!

From experience typically what gets dissolved first , is what is easiest to dissolve, and the last would be the gold.

Correct. Anyone who would waste electricity for 8-48hrs generating a chemical weapon to recover about $10 worth of low quality and dirty foils, without a stannous test either should be likely avoided. You will also note he never replies to anyone who isn't bowing down to him. Why anyone would want to know his rules or spiritual choices is an even bigger mystery. Best take a look at a different site.

My understanding is that he uses the Chlorine GAS to CORRODE the metal away, which loosens the gold in flakes, as that GAS does not corrode the gold. Gold does not go into SOLUTION, as there is no solution, as nothing gets dissolved! He also did this as an experiment to see if it is possible to use the gas created as a byproduct in the lye making process, and only added the chlorine generator to speed up the process. If a person does not understand what is happening, one should try to watch the video again, and then maybe ask questions instead of making stupid comments. Also, responding to idiots only grants them legitimacy, so it is sometimes better to just ignore them. Finally, God loves us all, even the idiots. Have a nice and blessed day.

I ran a sodium hydroxide generator that makes about $10 of sodium hydroxide a day and I got the gold flakes as a bonus for dealing with the chlorine gas, not just piping outside. May God Bless You All of Your Days!

Copper chloride was primarily made when I added the water into the beaker of gold plated jewelry filled with the chlorine gas. Every solution that is made gets run in the 4 horsemen for recovery so every spec of gold will get recovered, no matter where it goes. That is the beauty of the system and what gives me the ability to run these experiments. You can pull out the metal no matter where it is because my way of refining has no waste. Everything gets recovered and reused.

Amen, thanks for watching.

No doubt, chlorine is nasty stuff. Thanks for watching!

I’ll answer a call from a guy named hillbillycatfishin every time! You can call the store and I’m there all winter 9-5. Anthony Thomas.us for the number.

Thank you!

Yes, there is a link at the very end of the video, "I Have a Plan". On the end screen for next video. You won't find it in search. I should warn you it keeps losing me subscribers but it is 100% the truth.

Thank you very much!

Thanks for the info, that makes good sense.

perhaps not only sodium chlorate, but also sodium hypochlorite when chlorine gas reacts directly with NaOH, in a disproportionation auto-redox reaction. God bless you, brother.

@ Ahha, I’ll test for both, thanks. I have it a beaker right now. Thanks brother!

@@anthonythomasfmg actually, you'll probably find both, and the proportion between chlorate and hypochlorite depends on pH, electrodes distance and temperature. Higher temperatures promotes chlorate formation.

Yes, you can selectivly crystalize out the copper sulfate by carefully dehydrating the solution. The copper sulfate will crystalize out first and the remaining sulfates will stay in solution. For best results, I have found, flood the system with extra copper first than let it dehydrate naturally (no heat). Great question!

@@anthonythomasfmg so You means,that i have to prepare acid with copper and when copper is fully desolved let it cool down and add some extra copper powder and wait for crystals? sorry for my english. after brain stroke i have problems with wraiting

@ You do not have to add any extra copper per say. You just have the best results if the solution is mostly or heavily copper. If you have mostly, say zinc, and only some copper, it would be harder to selectivly precipitate copper crystals. When its 50% plus copper, the copper sulfate crystals will precipitate easiest and most pure.

Doesn't keeping the faith involve works? Matthew 16:27 (KJV) For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

@anthonythomasfmg rewarded from God, not the world... If it means anything to you, I subbed because I like PMs and knowledge, but I stuck around more once I found you were a man of God. It goes both ways mate and there a positives to be seen like there's a good chance you're getting more quality subs instead of quantity, people who appreciate your work and the general direction you take being in line with theirs. Keep going I say, you do great work God bless from Australia
