Gold Button from RAM Stick Fingers

[@pacoblancosmith]

Wow, that seems like a hire copper content than what I would have thought. But I'm basing that on the fact that I dissolve most of the copper off my RAM fingers with vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. I just started a new, small trial batch after using your "soldering iron removal process"....which I can see will be much simpler when I filter the foils......no more pulling out each individual pub board remnant and rinsing them off!! That took the most time of the entire process!

[@russellpindar7717]

As other have said, 2.93g of gold. I beleive you can drop out the gold by electrolysis of the copper. You will gain pure copper and the gold will be in the anode slimes. You can then purify the gold seperately.

[@eWasteBen]

Thanks, i'll study up on electrolysis

[@TiborRoussou]

10% nickel was a surprise to me as well. I use hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide to remove my foils; the acid eats away the base metals leaving only the gold flakes. These flakes are anywhere from 8 to 24 carat.

[@TnT_F0X]

Aww, you caved and went with the new age furnace, shoulda built one out of a trash can and hair drier like me. I use it for Scraping and re-purposing broken Sterling Silver and aluminum cans :) You make me want to break apart my computer from the 2000's and scrap it!

[@zebulundocallas]

If you do not want the borax to get stuck with the gold, you can heat the crucible with the borax first before putting the gold.

[@CoinSilver800]

make sure before you take any bars to get zapped that you sand the spot you want them to test off or file the area so that you get a reading from inside. you can drill it if you want but if they are only shooting the xrf on the outside they will get some of the surface junk that will show a lower percentage of gold than what you really have. when you just buff it with a wire wheel your also transferring whatever the wheel is made out of onto the metal as well. another thing you can do to get rid of the borax slag is to take you bar and place it into some about 10% sulphuric acid solution. the borax will be eaten away and the bar will be fine. (generally when dealing with gold and silver with low amounts of base metals, you might start to form some copper sulphate after a while but your not leaving it in to make too much of a difference even on a bar that is showing about 3.5% gold) Great video's though :) keep up the great work!

[@colbymg]

you might have more gold than that. copper-based wire brushes will deposit copper onto metals when heated, and grinding like that can heat it enough, so you likely have a thin layer of copper on the outside of your button. that machine looks like it uses XRF, which only measures the surface composition. you can try filing a section and getting that section re-tested, or drill a small hole and test the flakes that come out of the inside.

[@Justinbeehoney]

[@lee-eb2cn]

hi love your videos. wondering why you didn't use a carbon rod while melting. pulls out the crap and you knock the top off with all the slag on it. seems you are polishing away part of the gold. we want to know the purity.

[@HotelPapa100]

Why do you assume that you burn off gold of all things under the burner? Gold is the most inert of all the metals present, so will burn last (not at all, actually). Copper and Nickel will go first.

[@brendone171]

Good on ya Ben for going to the trouble of showing us what the foils contain and how much other metals is in the 85g I think it's and easy way of doing the foils but as one comment says is to use the Vinegar and Peroxide to get rid of the cu and get a purer pieceanyway a great and informative vid

[@SomervilleBob]

You can soak the foils in a vinegar and hydrogen peroxide (50/50%) to get rid of the copper before melting it.

[@Mrcastleskeep]

Have you seen the guys who use a hammer mill for recycling electronics? The shaker table separates all the gold, silver, and copper from everything else.

[@arduinomasterrobertmoller2904]

Use pickling powder from your jewelry supplier to clean off the borax at 80 C in water solution. Use only copper tweezers.

[@jaydstein]

That's such a cool project you've been working on. If I were you, I would hold on to that button that you've made. It's worth much more than what someone would pay you for it.

[@joek511]

about 29 grams Au if refined further. I do it the same way, but then I refine the foils. I start with HNO3, rinse 1 time in a reusable coffee filter. The plastic type, very fast. Then I use AR. In the end I might have 1 liter of waste instead of gallons.

[@ccsportsdad]

Glad to see the furnace working again :) I really gotta save up and get one of those, they look like they are a lot of fun :) That machine they used to check the material content percentages looks awesome as well, but that may be more than my pocket book can handle.

[@alanmorgan3157]

You may want to use pickle solution and tumble in stainless steel shot instead of wire brushing.

[@quagmier3]

Hi Ben. Another great video. I did the math and that is 2.93 grams of pure gold. you could send it to someone who does refining and recover pure gold from it but it always seems like more work than its worth to me and that nugget you made is so beautiful like it is I would keep it like it is. And if you really wanted to get rid of it I bet it would sell on Ebay just like it is. And a tip on the borax. If you use more of it when melting it will break away like glass when the metal is cooled off and also it is soluble in water so I just put my nuggets in a jewelry cleaner for an hour or so after breaking away most of it. Very enjoyable video to watch.

[@eWasteBen]

Thanks Scott, think i'll just keep it or might use it as a prize in a competition one day. didn't know borax was water soluble, will try it next time

[@HeadCannonPrime]

3.45% gold from 85g is 2.93 grams of gold. You are going to need to refine about 10 of these to get anything worthwhile. So that is about 10,000 ram sticks. not sure there is any gold value to be had after the work and material cost.

[@ΠαναγιωτηςΣαριδακης-ω8ν]

[@kenjett2434]

Don't forget the other values besides the gold that is alot of copper it all adds up. It's well worth processing as it takes very little acid to process those buttons.

[@workinalday4351]

You don't have to leave it in anything, just dump it straight into a bucket of water, it's called hot shot. Makes a nice little round on the sides kind of pointed on one end glob of whatever you melt.

[@destroya3303]

9:02 what kind of device is that to test for purity? Looks like the sample just sits in there.

[@eWasteBen]

yeah it's a desktop xrf that connects to a pc, that one costs about $17k I took in a larger silver poured bar to sell and they drilled 2 holes each side and focused the xrf into the holes.

[@damok9999]

with the furnace you can get the metals hot enough to pour with plenty of time, its much different that pouring with MAP

[@jamesfischer1356]

Hi Ben just a quick question did you ever get the gold out of that button you made?

[@josephplacencia96]

On another note I'm thinking about taking some ocean water and putting nitric acid and muriatic acid to dissolve any gold particles completely then adding diluted sodium metabusulfite to see how much gold I can get from 3 separate gallons of seawater, who wants to join the journey of experimentation, and I don't want to hear any complaints from people that say things like " you would probably only get this and such" if you don't know, then keep ignorance to yourself.

[@Tore_Lund]

Ocean water has Gold, but we are talking 0.001 to 44 parts per billion, that's 2mg / cubic meter, a thousand times less than reasonable rocky ore. However electrolysis can catch metal ions in water and AU+ will collect at the Cathode in a sludge with other metals like Copper and Manganese. That sludge is worth more as is, than the gold in it if your refined it. A suitable low enough voltage will prevent power being wasted on making Hydrogen and Chlorine by running current through seawater, but you will still need a substantial amount of power in respect to your yield, so preferable something like wind or wave power on a buoy with electrodes on the bottom. If you make the Cathode as a disc or a band, a small motor can slowly rotate it so a scraper can recover and store the sludge for when you come by every few months to collect you ore. This might just be economical feasible and a small test device is easy to make. 3 Gallons of seawater will get you 0.023mg of gold!

[@MrBensmith8302]

here is how you separate gold from copper. The works toilet bowl cleaner (hydrocloric acid) and some hydrogen peroxide 50/50. It will dissolve the copper. It takes about 2 days. Same process used to etch circuit boards.

[@jockywochy]

Use Nitric Acid. It will dissolve the copper and nickel but not the gold. You can recover the copper and nickel by electro-refining later. HCl won't dissolve copper but will dissolve nickel.

[@walterf.mollerv.8035]

Why not refined this material before melted this??, now you will refine this for separate the gold, well only is my opinnion, regards!!!!.

[@thresholdseven8942]

[@electrogaming8740]

I love how you said "I need to chip away at it," and then immediately whack it with a hammer. 🤣

[@ChrisJohnson-py4gg]

Top half of the button is mostly copper and the bottom half is more gold.

[@kenjett2434]

Not sure you will see this Ben as it's older video but if you took those buttons and put them through electrolysis and pulled off the bulk of the pure copper that would increase the gold percentage and make it far easier to recover the pure gold by chemical process. Electrolysis is a great way to recover pure 999 copper thus reducing copper content of the buttons.

[@JReklis]

you can probably use electrolysis to remove the fingers in the first place but the best electrolyte for electrolysis of gold plate is sulphuric acid which was his whole reasoning for wanting to do it this way... the bi product of eloctrolysis of this button would have copper sulphate which is basically wet and forget alagae remover.

[@kenjett2434]

@@JReklis you could but it would still be dirty gold as copper is far more reactive than gold. No matter what process you always go after the most reactive metals first in a refining process. You want the least reactive to be last for a pure drop. This is why tin in solder can cause big trouble if not removed first it's also why lead is a good collector metal for gold, silver and platinum group metals. As lead is easy removed by cupiling.

@@kenjett2434 you can start at the top the bottom or the middle of the table of reactivity, it depends what you are trying to do, sreetips never chases copper until he plates it out of his waste solutions with iron or occasionally when trying to work pgm.... but none of that has any relevance to either my comment or this vid, given that e waste ben states a number of reasons why he doesn't want to chemically refine... It's almost impossible to get sulphuric or nitric in australia as the government flagged them as bomb making chemicals, if you did try you would probably end up on an asio watchlist, and buying sulphur or copper sulphide and peroxide to make sullphuric then nitric looks to me like it it would be an expensive time consuming low yeild endeavour (but I might give it a chop anyway). If I had the amount of gear ben has and didn't want to use chemicals, I would start a mount baker mining style panning rig with a hammer mill, and if I wanted to refine the button in this vid without chemicals I would ignore the 5c worth of copper nickel alloy and smelt it in a mount baker mining style portland cement and lead cupell to refine it to 24k.

[@damok9999]

i woulda just purified it with acid and sodium meta bisulfate first. It looked to be in a good form to do that. When i MAPed by filtered foils I crumpled the filters up and burned them with the flakes inside. It melted into a button fine with a thick silicate crucible, lost two little numbs in the crucible though and i was only working with 1 gram of gold, it tested over 14kt pure.

[@drakenbakken]

If you get a higher temperature and a pyramid mold to separate metals you might get over 33% to make pins more practical as well

Hey ben one question: is it worth buying 2lbs 11oz of ram boards for 45$ dollars, using your method with the soldering iron?

[@eWasteBen]

Nope, $15 lb max but to get value you need to process the IC chips too at that price, 2 lb of RAM is not enough to process anyway, you really want 2 lb of fingers alone to bother with it

[@johnlarsen2156]

where can i bay that box or what it called

[@94981745]

Ben, just browse around google & youtube and look at gold extraction processes using chemistry. Learn about aqua regia (1 part nitric acid, 3 parts hydrchloric, assuming equal acid strength/concentration) and how easy it is to make it. That ugly button in your video won't dissolve completely because its too thick, and as the acid dissolves the gold it leaves behind a layer of gunge which prevents the acid from eating away furthur, so you need to reshape the material until its less than 3mm thick or cut it into 100 tiny pieces. Once you dissolve all the gold you simply filter it out through kitchen towel/coffee filters to get out all the non-liquids and then you add sodium metabisulfate to precipitate the gold out of solution. IF it DOESN"T precipitate out then your mixture is too acidic or contains too much nitric acid. If that is the case, SLOWLY add 1 tablespoon of sodium bicarbonate (bicarb of soda) every minute. Once the pH reaches closer to neutral, the mixture should turn dark brown, and that is the gold being released from the chlorine.... leave it for 30 mins and let the gold sink to the bottom. Wash it out and dry the gold in the sun or a heating device. What you're left with is gold powder. Put it in your crucible and melt it, and you will have 24K PURE gold.

[@ogremgtow990]

HCl won't remove copper. Try Nitric acid cut with 50% distilled water.

[@RonaldRaiden]

but if the gold is over 25% purity it won't be true 24K without the AR

Hello, I have recently discovered your channel. I have a lot of RAM. At first, I was going to cut the "Fingers" off with metal sheers. I am about 10% done with my total inventory and its going too slow! I estimate to have well around, possibly above 2000 sticks. I have them in boxes, at least two that are the size of the box of RAM from the first video. Is it possible that I could burn the "Fingers" that I have already cut to separate the foils from the board? I like your technique of using the soldering iron to remove the foils, I will probably do that next time I get the patience to start processing them again. I don't want to burn all my boards, just the fingers I've already cut. (since removing them with a soldering iron would be very hard. ) I would like to end up with a nugget like you have here, that's just a mix of metals. I have too many boxes, having it condensed into a nugget like this until I can process it again later would be nice.

[@eWasteBen]

there's more to ram gold than just fingers, the ic chips have gold too. but there are basic chemicals you can use that will remove the foils off the fingers and at the same time eat away some of the copper & nickel, leaving you with a higher purity of gold foils. look up AP for gold recovery

[@Epoch615]

Look up the channel Cody's Lab if you decide to go the chemical route. He'd got a great series on recovering and refining precious metals using chemicals.

[@caseyclymore4417]

+eWaste Ben cool, I didn't think of processing the IC chips. I have plenty of ram sticks that I haven't clipped yet, maybe I could set up a container, and line up the sticks very carefully, and add the chemicals so that its level just covers the foils. I've seen cody's lab channel, the chemicals kind of intimidate me. I'll keep an eye out for your videos, just to keep watching the technique. Your series is the first that I've seen that really shows how much potential is in X number of ram. I also noticed a milling video you have for processing IC chips, I'll check that one out next. I'm not too interested in making money, I'm mostly interested in the process, and seeing what value I can get from saving "trash".

[@thedudelocksmith]

Great video! Just a question and also a hint of advice. Where did you get your electric furnace from? Also, when polishing the finished product, I recommend doing it inside of a plastic container. This way here you catch all of the dust that you are removing during the polishing stage and can re-melt it later. Especially if it is gold bearing material. Thanks for the great vids, I've learned a lot from them over the last few weeks.

thats not a lot of work for 3.5 grms of gold.

[@JohnnySwedishScrapper]

if u clean the finger in acids first you get rid of more nicel and copper, and that means more space for gold ;)

[@55metalmonkey]

If you are trying to get the foils off without harsh acids (HCL/peroxide or nitric acid) salt and vinegar in a small tub with a fish tank bubbler works fine. It takes a few weeks but the actual effort is near zero. Just put the well trimmed fingers in a container (4L would do for that many fingers) add vinegar with some salt, turn on the bubbler and do nothing for a few weeks. The process is slow but the investment is very low. kzbin.info/www/bejne/paa8iJJtYrOdmNU To purify what you have you can do a copper electrolysis removal and be left with mostly gold/silver alloy kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYK2qqCenZ17mbc

If you use aqua Regia to desolve the gold you would of gotten about 3 grams of pure gold instead of that huge copper button?

[@MrCcfly]

u will need more $ in that then u get gold ,, ar is only usable if u have loads of scrap ,last time i look it was 2k $ in ar to get 1800$ in gold then they process that gold to get industrial wire (around 10k ) to sell for 2.4-2.6k resulting in gain of 200$ per 50kg processed crap

So if gold fingers from 500 ram sticks weigt was abot 100gram this mean there is about 3 grams of gold in it .

[@hagent5215]

How much gold did you get from all the ram chips?

[@eWasteBen]

I haven;t done the chips yet, saving them up until i'm ready to refine

[@hagent5215]

Then you are only 1/2 way done with your 1000 ram stick challenge! :) By the way, what is the best way to recover gold from the Intel E8500 CPU ? There are no pins on this type. I have 59 of them and wanted to see how much gold I can get. Cheers!

I think to judge the content of% can be when you have the final result, an ingot of pure gold.

[@wayneschoeberl9531]

You could reverse plating it with salt water and a car battery, it take a few hours, but be careful lose the gold, so use anti static spay for clothing to drop gold to bottom, before pouring salt water off slow and careful, then melt sludge.
