Bro, you're live timing things that don't look right and lots of us who are about to begin doing this need to see when shit goes sideways too.

About 0.08 grams of gold per kilor processed, and some have no gold.

I know you did this 3 years ago but what part of a piece of wood burns last? The middle for the most part. The same principle applies to chips. If it don't break up it's the center of the chip . Where is the gold in an IC chip? It must be total ash or you WILL loose gold. . AR or not, your not getting that gold out. You have 3 options, grind it to powder by hand, wet ash with concentrated sulfuric or burn it again. I currently have about 15 lbs of them. Built a custom rotisserie kiln to tumble the chips as they burn. Steel pan in the bottom to catch the ash. Yet after extensive testing, I'm wet ashing the entire 15 lbs. Nothing will get the gold out like wet ash. I did, hold your breath, 7 gold corner BGA chips, wet ash. Gold recovered from the 7 chips .41 grams. Other methods not even close. Pitiful, .2, .15, .25

I've been doing this for over 10 years, examined more flat packs then I care to count (The Chunky / thick Ones). I do it by wet ashing. Very few have gold in them. Conclusion: Only Gold is soft enough to produce super thin bonding wires. If you use copper, silver or aluminium bonding wires they will be thicker wires. . So they have to make a thicker pack to encase the thicker wires. I dont even remove them from boards anymore. Their not worth the effort. With that being said, I check everything one type of chip at a time multiple ways before I go for the gold

Very nice. Hope it holds up

Looking forward to seeing it in action!

Interested in seeing how that SS holds up. Most Chinese stainless rusts just in the outdoor elements here where I live.

I use eco goldeX it is way faster to get your gold then do aqua regia afterwards

I just want to have a price check to compare to what you are paying. I can get these in Melbourne, 50% hydrogen peroxide 5 liters for $48 and 98% sulphuric acid for 5 liters $60, 15 liters $142. Is this expensive?

This helped. A LOT . Thank you. ☺️

Ummm maybe try aqua regia

Your ferrous or iron sulfate is liquid instead of crystals. Other than diluting the solution is there a reason you dissolve the crystals and what do you dissolve them with?

Not bad. Its amazing how much gold would be missed by throwing your papers away. I have a request. Can you throw out some scrapping videos. I know it's all the same, but for me, i think it's exciting to see what goodies you're goin to get when scrapping things down. It's cool that Nadine wants to help you. My wife looks at my scrap and sees garbage lol. But she tolerates it

It all adds up over time, doesn't it. Great video. Looking forward to the next one!

hows the car brother, allmost cant re-member your Scrap-Runs, might find Extra-Heater ...

Hey gold man try an old trick with thick liquids to filter using a stainless steel kitchen strainer and filter paper towel you have a very very big drainage area instead of just a little hole in the funnel?????

You know you can make a fume hood for around three hundred dollars rite !!! Your health is worth more too me than your channel!!!! I've been doing this for about three years as a hobby. The fumes are deadly not just bad for you but deadly!!! Just put some baking soda in water and spray it around around your area and watch how far your acids contamination travels!! Keep up the good work my friend

Pete, it's clear you really know your stuff here. I found your video very informative and useful. So the longer A.P process....it doesn't matter if the pins are magnetic or not? Will the copper 2 chloride eat literally anything but the gold, lead included?

انت شخص طيب اتمني لك الشفاء

Well done.

Looks good!

Hey Pete how many buckets did you put on the scale ??? Because when you were trimming the legs you showed a half a bucket or more and then you had at least one more bucket to do in the blue container.???? Then when you put on the scales only 1 level bucket and that’s it ???

Hey gold man lolol use a bench grinder and they come off so so easy or put your hand grinder in a vice or stand on it and rub flat packs on it and 10 seconds each gone no legs and my last lot I put in strong AP and it eats it away and up inside so far

I've got a question for you, I have solder and on the label it says 60% tin and 40% lead. What happens to the lead when the tin dissolves into HCL? Does it contaminate the solution?

I get the tiny balls sticking to melt dish as well. Im doing my first toll today...3 different purple ceramic cpu for a test run. Fellow says he has 5 kilos or so. About 250 grams to start the test. This run in video I count 500 grams purple? Yeild 3.5 grams?

I use to help a fold miner and to strong of nitric acid would disolve some gold

I found that a razor blab slipped between fiber and too piece works quick and easy

Super.

Do you have a video of you actually using it?

I was watching e waste ben video "Gold button from Ram stick fingers" Have a look at 9:20 where his melted gold is tested it shows that there is 3.45% gold in RAM fingers. On the screen it says plus or minus 0.17% so results may vary. I did some maths using his results and one kg of RAM sticks would yield 0.41 grams of gold and if you wanted one troy once of gold you would need 4995 RAM sticks. I tried using the soldering iron but my hand started to hurt so I used tin snips to cut the fingers off and then dumping them into HCL without using peroxide as it is expensive. Using a fish tank bubbler it takes 5-7 days for all the finger to come off. I would never go back to using a soldering iron. I do have lots of fingers from using the soldering iron and doing a separate experiment to see if the 3.45% is really accurate in e waste ben video.

Instead of wasting the fiber boards due to low yield, have a stock pot sitting off to the side with vinegar and salt in it and keep tossing those in there! Just let it sit forever and do its thing, maybe refresh the mixture every once in a while :) it should eventually loosen up off the fiber board with zero effort. Just time

Mantap,,ngopi,,👃👍

Waiting for dryer and warmer weather, ATM I'm making distilled water. Nice vid and good to see that u add additions when off camera.

You need a bigger table or less stuff on it. I am clumsy and just looking at yours makes me nervous.

Here in the states nitric is about $30 a litre if you buy enough to cover shipping. I have started using poor man's nitric to do most the work and save my nitric for refining.

Thanks! I keep skipping through the video but love the content.

ship that amount of gold for all them bga not worth time and product for me i have lots probably better for me to sell online because gold price is so high $3.542.02c a oz spot right now as i txt Australian without premium

hay bud one time you should use a small kleen up sluce for all chips magnet to catch legs and wash of dust and have a catch bucket on the end best part water recycle ♻️ and no muddy mess lolololo haaaa KZbin must love comments all the time robot knows someone is watching you lololol

I didnt get in the video how you tried to test for silver. You added distilled water ice cubes. The cubes drop the silver? Would the solution go cloudy if there was silver in it?

Hey mate. Do you like in Perth. If so I would love to meet up and talk recycling. I'm north of the river

Great video. Did you add sulfuric acid at some point to get rid of lead or did I miss it? Also, does it pay to try and remove the bigger copper heat syncs before incineration and crushing or would you lose some gold that way? Looking forward to your next video!

Hello Pete. Im happy to donate to your paypal but still cant find it in your channel. I do enjoy your videos

Morning Pete, have a wonderful day.

I use acetone if soapy hot water doesn't work to clean my glass , then i rinse with iso to remove any grime left by the water.

Great video! Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to your next video.

Thanks mate. I wonder if you can help a fellow aussie. I have trouble recognising silver. Can you do a video on how to identify it either with the help of a chemical or visually? Cheers. I keep throwing everything into aluminium pile or stainless😢

I noticed two differences in the way you make stanis... First you cook it... And second you filter it.. I believe that has something to do with how long it lasts... The eBay refiner seems to leave the excess tin in the solution

I have some SnCl that’s about a year old and it still works. I think you have the rite idea about keeping it out of the sun light. 👍

2 sections of lead free solder, one for each electrode, 95% tin, 5% antimony, a 9v battery, and a small amount of HCl. The black sediment is the antimony. The electrolysis will make stannous chloride quite quickly.

This tells me gold or no ! Thank u
