Every time a bank makes a loan, they are creating "money" out of thin air.

[@radekc5325]

Yup, this is how it works in the modern monetary system. I don't like the term "printing money" because it was historically used to mean something different: it used to mean *government* literally printing banknotes and keeping them. The result was akin to taxation, just done differently. Today, money is created by taking loans. As long as interest rates are low (and they are stupidly low), lots of loans are made, and this increases money supply. But no evil "them" is actively doing it (or keeping it), the new money goes to whoever is willing to borrow.

[@sreetips]

Lack of interest and understanding is what allows them to do it, unchallenged.

He had no choice. If he didn’t do it then all of our gold (currently 8000 tons) would have left the country. After WWII we made everything and the world paid us for it. But they paid in gold. Our reserves soared to 22,000 tons. If they tried to buy our goods with their currency they would be left empty handed. But as we began to spend more than we took in back in the 50s and 60s our gold reserves tumbled. Foreigners noticed this and wanted gold instead of dollars. They showed up with billions in paper dollars and demanded gold. We had a place open that allowed that. But they closed that window in 1971 when the president, who realized that all of America’s gold would be gone in very short order, so that the currency could no longer be exchanged for gold. No one batted an eye. And that is when it all started. Printing money without restriction. Our fiat system will fail with 100% certainty. Not what I want to see happen. It’s bad for everyone. And the public don’t realize this nor do they care. Try explaining it and you’ll lose their attention very quickly.

the pink / red colour of the gold is from the light reflecting off the gold particles, way back when they used gold on stained glass to make shades of red coloured glass. a bit of gold history for everyone :)

[@pirobot668beta]

Surface plasmons; light activates a metal surface, creating waves in the shared valence electrons. The waves act much like a diffraction grating, reflecting light of specific colors. For many years, Ruby glass was though to be gold dissolved into glass, but it turns out the gold exists as nano-scale spheres suspended in a clear glass matrix. This gives us the pinkish solution.

[@sreetips]

Pink/purple are the colors of gold. I accidentally added too much silver one time and the Inquarted gold fell apart into a powder. It had the most fantastic looking color layers in the liquid after settling completely. From blue to purple to red to pink. It was awesome and I’ve never been able to reproduce it. Long ago when I first started refining.

The reaction with SO2 is really neat. Just amazing how the solution turns completely colourless, before going dark.

[@fat_pigeon]

Could the colorless ion be some gold(I) species?

[@vperez4796]

H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide, Muriatic acid is HCl in acid solution. H2O2 released O2 (oxygen bubbles) and metallic gold dissolves as HAuCl4 yellow solution. It crystallizes as a yellow solid, HAuCl4.3H2O, gold(III) is not metallic now, but a salt complex. There after he will reduce Au(III) to metallic gold with sulfur(IV) dioxide. SO2 )gas) gives 2 electrons to gold(III) and ends up as sulfate, thus been reduced to Au(0). Impurities will remain in solution. He just have to rinse Au(0) with H2O to separate impurities from metallic gold.

[@fat_pigeon]

​@@vperez4796 Yes, but tetrachloroaurate(III) is yellow, and metallic gold is a dark precipitate. Therefore, the gold has to be present as a colorless species at the point that the solution turns clear but before metallic gold precipitates. The question is what that species is. I was speculating that contains gold(I), which is plausible as an intermediate oxidation state if it's gradually being reduced by the SO2.

[@MrMarcreed]

Hallelujah! Preach and teach what’s happening with the country brother!!! It helps others to understand.❤

[@bunnyrabbit4972]

This is a bit troubling. Because I don't have access to nitric, I have used hot HCl + H2O2 to take non-precious metals into solution, with the filtered solids assumed to contain the gold. I was not aware gold was soluble this way. Obviously I have been losing gold into the waste stream. I learned something.

[@vperez4796]

You may have dumped a colorless AuCl dispersion. I suggest you keep all metallic waste solutions. Let the it evaporate into a vented hood. Check if the acidity has decreased (use pH paper) you can use active metal filings, like metallic Zn. Metallic Zn limings shall oxidize to ZnCl2 and the Au(I) shall be reduced to metallic Au. Careful where you dump metallic waste, some organizations can get very nervous about that. I can safely argue that Zn(II) is part of our enzymes and also comes in vitamins supplements. Most living beings (vegetables and animals) use Zn(II) for their metabolism. IF YOU MUST DISPOSE of ZnCl2, I suggest you use sodium bicarbonate to precipitate Zn(HCO3)2, a white insoluble solid, Dry it out, keep it dry in a plastic container. Large amounts of metallic salts in the ground or rivers are not acceptable to most legislations, check out in your local library about state regulations. AuCl3 salts are reduced to Au nuggets by bacteria in the rivers and down the bottom of the seas.

[@vperez4796]

HCl with H2O2 method is an environmentally friendly way to reduce Au(III) (aka AuCl3) to metallic gold. H2O2 is oxidized to O2 +H2O, the safest possible byproducts. In an alternative method where they use HClO, aka bleach, you precipitate copper (CuCl2) from electronic fingers as Cu(OH)2 , a greenish solid left in the filters. CAUTION; The moment you mix HCl with bleach, chlorine gas evolves (used in WWI as poison gas). You better stick to muriatic acid with hydrogen peroxide method. WARNING; Using H2S gas produce SO2 and H2SO4 in acidic conditions.

is any one method better than an other? I watched one the other day where you made an acid, had to bring up the ph, ran out, had to make more... ive seen lots of SMB granule videos, personally, I like watching the SO2 gas precip myself.. is anyone better than the other? is one just cheaper therefore preferred?

[@sreetips]

Adding powdered SMB straight in is the easiest and most convenient. Ferrous sulfate is good if other metals such as platinum are in with the gold because ferrous sulfate will precipitate the gold, all the gold and nothing but the gold. But it bulky and cumbersome to set up. SO2 gas is supposed to be superior to all other methods but it’s a huge pain to set up the gas generator. Oxalic acid is a “polishing step” and the gold must be high purity to begin with. And it’s a pain because the of the pH adjustment and having both solution boiling for a successful precipitation. I like SMB because it’s simple and easy.

Just remember that the increase in prices you are seeing is the result of inflating the money supply (printing money out of thin air that is backed by nothing). And think about this: if you need money to buy something then you must either go to work and earn it, or sell something. But our friends in high places, if they need money, they can just print it. And this never gets talked about. Most common folks think inflation is caused by greedy merchants raising prices to gain more profit. Our “friends” in high places create the inflation that causes prices to rise, and the public ends up blaming the merchant. It’s insanity!

[@guygordon2780]

You had excess nitric acid in your solution. The SMB dropped the gold, and the AR re-dissolved it. Use urea to denox the solution. Best if you do what Streetips always does: Start with the HCL and only add as much nitric as needed to dissolve the gold -- no more. That's why he doesn't need to add urea. Any tiny amount of excess nitric he added will be used up by the SMB. I guess as a alternative you could keep adding SMB to your solution until the nitric was used up re-dissolving your gold. It's just wasteful, but eventually the gold will drop out and stay.

[@sreetips]

Might not be gold at all. Take a piece, add 18k gold test acid and observe. If it dissolves, turns blue (or green) and the solids disappear then it’s probably Nordic gold - an alloy of copper that contains no gold. But if nothing happens then it might be actual gold.

[@Hossak]

Wow thank you so much for that. Fascinating to see the oxidation power of hydrogen peroxide taking over from nitric acid. Any idea of why not all of the gold powder dissolved? Maybe that portion was lower purity or contained a trace impurity level that prevented dissolution? Maybe it was coarser or microscopically had a low surface area form that prevented efficient dissolution? Peroxide can be tricky as it is so ready to react with anything, any impurities in the water or solids can result in a poor efficiency. Amazing watching the sulphur dioxide slowly taking effect and finally precipitating the gold. I would think we were seeing the SO2 react with residual peroxide in solution as SO2 is reducing/peroxide is oxidising. The inflection point was beautiful.

Inflation is by definition an increase in the money supply. It’s the federal reserve creating more dollars that makes yours worth less.

@@HughesEnterprises It is also perfectly correct to use the term Inflation to mean Price Inflation. Yes, it is Inflation if the prices rise because supply is cut off, even if nobody is debasing the currency. Holding that 'true inflation' is only caused by inflating the money supply is just circular reasoning. Better to define the word by an observable that can be measured (Price), than by theoretical, non-observables.

[@mrbsbeesntees7081]

right now i am losing my mind , i have been using HCL and 3% Hydrogen Peroxide to dissolve the base metals , and been putting the waste water and stuff off to the side , i hope i am not throwing out the gold and keeping the sluge that has nothing in it ,

[@kassia9597]

Your videos are very educational but the economics breakdown isn't necessary I'm not a moron and I don't think that people who are more on should be working with well the chemicals are working with so let's just cut the crap and get down to business

[@copperinquarter]

I would like to emphasize the importance of stirring in this reaction. What is happening here is that the H2O2 is reacting with the HCL to produce chlorine gas, which must be dissolved into the solution to produce chlorine ions into the solution, which can then react with the gold. Stirring increases dramatically the amount of chlorine gas dissolved into the solution instead of being wasted by evaporation without stirring. Hope this helps our fellow refiners! Thank you, Mr. Sreetips!

[@sreetips]

Excellent, thank you.

[@markking3755]

you know for once i like to see one of you guys that are doing videos on gold recovery to show what you do on handling all the waste step by step.would be a better way showing for gold recovery

[@sreetips]

Mark, type “waste treatment” into the search block. I did one a while back

Hi

[@sreetips]

Hello

[@ashutoshjha878]

Very nice

[@haloubi-n2w]

Something very amazing. Is it possible for you to do an educational course for me? I want to meet you for one time. I admire your creative work.

[@jasong8377]

Mr sreetips I have a question in earlier videos you mentioned that platinum group metals tend to follow gold in smb so recently I tried ferrous sulphate to drop the gold because it's said to drop only the gold and it worked beautifully and no nasty smells so my question is why don't you use it regularly also any benefits to not

[@sreetips]

Ferrous sulfate brings down the gold, all the gold, and nothing but the gold. SMB it easier, and faster but will tend to bring down traces of PGMs if present. Each has benefits and drawbacks

Bidenomics 101.. how to destroy a country in a single term of presidency 😂

[@MichaelClark-uw7ex]

SO2 precipitation, isn't that what actually happens when you use SMB? Since SO2 loves to react with the Chlorine ions which causes the gold to fall out of solution, would Potassium metabisulphite (Campden tablets/powder) work as well as SMB? I use Potassium metsbisulphite in Meadmaking, (so i always have some around) its the SO2 released by the reaction with acids that sterilizes the must Maybe a little slower since the Potassium bond is a little stronger? Or would the Potassium make some unwanted byproduct/precipitate?

[@sreetips]

It’s the SO2 gas that’s produced by adding SMB directly to the chloroauric acid solution that precipitated the gold. But adding the powder and bubbling the gas produce different results, the gas bubble being superior. I’ve never tried postassium metabisulfite not sure if that will work or not

[@ReviewLife380]

Awesome a different procedure with clean reaction instead of using nitric procedure. Thumbs up

[@TheMayflowerPilgrem]

I like your suttle hints to exchange paper for gold/silver.

[@sreetips]

They are the only two elements suitable to be used as money.

[@charlesyates6687]

Im in Tampa and just bought that exact hydrigen peróxide from DG . $4.50

[@p1ai162]

The same inflation is in Europe, don't you worry! But I think the purifying ate more of your money 😅

[@senimandarat4649]

👍👍👍 nice...

[@JAKEWJONES]

PRO TIP for binge watching Mr. SPITEERS...Set video speed to 1.5 to watch.

[@stonerrobi]

If you freeze the hydrogen peroxide cause peroxide don't Freeze only the water so you can get more potent peroxide

[@OG_Wakanobi]

Wouldn't this also put other metals into solution as well? If so, it's not so much a refining method, than more a cool experiment.

[@sreetips]

Yes, everything would dissolve and make a very dirty solution - I think.

[@guygordon2780]

Any refinement would come from the selectivity of the drop step.

[@keithchasteen8593]

Nice lab set up you have! Wish you were my neighbor! I'd be bothering you all the time!

[@andreistre7336]

W9nder if it would be cheaper to dilute your own h²o² using some 30% and water?

[@jazzdein1]

I love how gets political, with out getting into politics. If I were to guess he didn't vote for Joey lol!

[@rickycollard9715]

Yes sir you are so right about the money but every dollar they print makes your gold worth that much more

[@jhyland87]

Damn, I love this channel. Great video!

[@steverobbins3329]

Wow, you’re a 3% hydrogen peroxide actually concentrated nitric acid

[@حمزةبنصايل]

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته كيف حالك يا اخوتي هل يمكن ترجمه وتوضيح موغد وخطوات في. كتابه في عربي. وهل. ذالك الملكي يصلح المكرسوبي َ فلزات الذهب. وفي ايت شيا رسبت وشكرا

[@adebiyi100]

Pls you added crystar ball to hydrogenperoxide tell me the name

[@محمدمحمد-ظ4ز2ذ]

I think if the concentration of peroxide was 10%, I would have gotten faster results and the cost is the same.Thank you for your wonderful work.❤

[@sreetips]

Yes. Stronger peroxide and it’s quicker and uses much less

[@CraftedChannel]

I don't know what the equivalent in chemistry is to an aquarium stone. However, wouldn't converting the gas into many smaller bubbles increase the surface area and thus less gas would escape, more gas would be dissolved into the solution greatly speeding up the reaction? I know it's happening pretty fast and economically anyway. However, it might be interesting to film and demonstrate. edit "Nano Bubble Ceramic Plate Diffuser"

[@sreetips]

It would get clogged up rapidly with gold. Needs at least 1/4 inch delivery tube.
