[@Alex-kp3hr]

Hello, here is an update. The very first thing you need to do is remove the magnetic mlcc from processing. They have no precious metals in them and will waste your time and chemicals. A neodymium magnet with 2 plastic feet that will make the magnet 12.7 mm above the surface of a table top should be used. Any MLCC that sticks to the magnet at this range is BME. Both BME and NME have nickel plating on the metal end terminals that gets soldered to the circuit board but NME do not have nickel in the interior of the ceramic. This is why they are less magnetic. There are 2 kinds of MLCC: 1.BME (base metal electrodes) 2.NME (noble metal electrodes). BME contain no precious metals at all and are a waste of your time. NME contain silver and Pd in the inside electrodes and a silver layer on the 2 end caps. These are worth processing. You need to be careful where you get the MLCC. This is important. After 1990 manufactures of MLCC switched from NME to BME because of the high cost of precious metals. For non-mission critical use such as TV, computers, printers etc BME were used. For mission critical use where hi efficiency and reliability were needed such as weapons, and defense and space and surgical, satellites etc NME were used. So that is why you need to know where the MLCC came from. Without knowing where the MLCC came from you need to do a magnet test. It is still possible that some NME are still being used in modern day consumer electronics but only in the critical circuits like timing, switching or oscillating circuits. The rest of the MLCC would be BME so out of 1 kg of MLCC you might find approx 1 percent NME. That's why he got 0.46 g of precious metals out of 500 g of MLCC. Conclusion: don't waste your time and chemicals on BME MLCC. NME are worth processing. Oct 2024

I understand completely Nacho. I keep them all in the same container, but as business has gotten so busy, I find myself depopulating less and selling more. It's a natural part of the hobby becoming a business. Wanted to let you know that KZbin is acting up a little and not letting me respond to some comments. A couple of yours are in the mix.

[@ryanstruble5381]

I was told by someone not to use a hard drive magnet. They will pick up some noble metal ones because of the nickel. Have you tried with a magnet like out of a magnetron and see if it makes a difference?

[@sharkscrapper]

You can use the HDD mags just hold them a little further away as I do. A magnet's pull decreases rapidly with distance. I have no doubt that I am collecting some NME's with the BME's in my process. But I'm ok with that to ensure the NME's I do keep are as "clean" as possible. That way if I decide to sell I know I'm selling good product. If you're going to extract the Ag and Pd yourself, then having some BME's in your mix is no big deal other than wasted acid.

[@glassgiants]

Shark dropping some knowledge on us, nice! You'd make a great instructor.

[@sharkscrapper]

Thanks glassgiants, means more to me than you might expect.

[@ralphmourik]

Funny you made this video while watching Ewaste Ben's video, in that video he explains about MLCCs and to not use neodymium magnets because they are to strong and will pick up the ones that have sliver, palladium and nickel too. This is the reason why I have never found a non magnetic one 😅 I just collect them all, by the time I can fill a bucket I'll look into refining 😂👍👊

[@sharkscrapper]

Yes and in my video I explain that all one needs do is hold the magnet a little further away. As you know the magnetic "pull" decreases with distance. In my video we see NME's remaining with 1/4" spacing. If I increase the distance I'll get more MLCC's left behind, the question is how many BME's remain in the mix. I want as "clean" a mix as possible.

[@tiawrigley3079]

I am a relatively new to scrapping and still learning about all the different forms of various precious metals to be found on boards. We save the pallaium and tantalum among other things but this video brought new information to light. I had no idea about magnetic and non magnetic. I do have one question though......Any MLCC's that are magnetic, should they be tossed into the ewaste bin for the regional recycler to deal with or do they just go to garbage? I don't want to have to put anything into the garbage that I don't have to. As well, someone had mentioned using a magnet from a speaker? I assume they mean a very small speaker?

[@sharkscrapper]

My recommendation is just keep them all together and not worry about it until you are ready to process them. When you're ready to process you'll have learned a lot more than you know now, and will be better prepared to decide how to handle them. If you decide to sell them, the buyer will tell you if they want them seperated.

[@poosmate]

Very informative, thank you. Now, not to throw a spanner in the works but, I'm sure I heard recently (possibly it was Ewaste Ben) NOT to use a neodyneum (SP?) magnet from a hard drive because it will pick up most of the MLCCs even some with the precious/noble metals in them. But instead, to use a regular magnet from a speaker or something. Maybe you could test this out and then have 3 lots of MLCCs, true (non-magnetic), imposter (a bit magnetic) and fake (totally magnetic). Might be an idea for a follow up video just for information even if you and others decide to only sweep with a strong magnet and keep the true PM MLCCs. Take care, Poo

[@sharkscrapper]

No worries poo. It's no problem using the strong neodymium magnet, one just needs to hold it further away to reduce the strength of the magnetic field. My goal is to have as clean a NME stack as possible. I can always resort the remaining MLCC's with the magnet further away but without testing the precious metal levels of each group, I won't really understand what I'm getting anyway.

[@poosmate]

@@sharkscrapper Yeah, kind of uncharted waters here. The only channel I can recall trying to get paladium (I think, actually it might have been platinum), was Cody's Lab trying to find it out of roadside sweepings. He was working on the theory that some precious metals may have been coughed out of the exhausts of cars (and their catalytic converters), and if that was so, it would surely settle in the sweepings at the side of the road. Take care, Poo

[@sharkscrapper]

@@poosmate You know Poos, I believe I saw that video. It's a few years old correct? They were going after platinum. I found a video by Backyard Scrapping on magnetic MLCC's. The yield was terrible, something like .45 g of Ag from 100g of magnetic MLCC's. No measurable Pd.

I am very pleased that you liked the video so much. Welcome to the channel. When you say, "blue/brown capacitors," are you referring to the epoxy dipped tantalums?

[@coreygold1923]

@@sharkscrapper they look a bit like the tantalum but tantalum are usually more yellow and longer and thinner. The older dip mlcc brown or tan ones yeild 20g palladium per 1000g which is not bad plus 100g silver. But there's way better then that. Look for the older soviet item and lots of them will have the green squares. These little buggers yeild up to or more the 60grams pd per kilo.

Another timely video. I have plenty of boards that I've been thinking of taking MLCCs off, sitting in the garage. Im not going ahead anymore - not worth it, and way too fiddly. I do wonder if both types are magnetic to varying degrees, and if the magnetic field strength, distance between magenet and size of the MLCC interact. The magnet you are using is really strong and quite close.... I wonder if you are discarding precious metal MLCCs.... How to tell?

[@sharkscrapper]

I have no doubt that I am discarding some NME's. At this point I still have the magnetic ones and may resort. But my goal is to ensure my NME stack is as clean as possible. So some loss is acceptable.

sharkie neodymium is way too strong and will pick up 99% as you use weaker magnet your sorting will be more accurate as you using such pawerfull magnet nickel layer will stick anyway as you use a weaker one all nme after little shake will fall of tho see you had few pieces what non stick even to neodymium so it means there is another type what have no nickel in i guess and the question is what they have instead??? for sure some non magnetic

[@sharkscrapper]

It is easy enough to hold the neodymium a little further away. My goal is to ensure my NME collection is as pure as possible, so some loss is acceptable. I may resort the magnetic pile with the magnet further away just to see what we get.

On my first practice run I used peroxide and acid to dissolve the base metals.ididnt want to use a bunch in case it failed but wanted to have enough to see result.the final product weighs 97 grams.however it only tests about 14k I think this is because of silver and platinum group metals with it.i don't know what to do with it but I have it.i still have a bunch to process.i was lucky to get my hands on about 20 computers from 1990's

[@idontknowmyfirstname69]

You do got to be careful with using such strong rare earth magnets. Palladium is paramagnetic meaning it very weakly gets attracted to a magnet. If that is an exceptionally strong magnet as the large hdd magnets are then that weak attraction combined with the small mass of the mlcc can stick to a strong magnet. the silver is slightly diamagnetic giving a slight repulsion to the magnet. But thats a small effect. I personally dont use hdd magnets for this very reason i have tested mlccs that weakly stick to the magnets dissolving in nitric or AR and testing with stannous chloride. I got a positive indication for pgms. Now i haven't processed at huge amount of these either. Ive been stockpiling for several years got several pounds saved up. Honestly though since ill be refining myself... Im simply going to do them all together as its essentially the same process using the same acids... If your sorting them to sell though this info might be important mo point in giving perfectly good palladium and silver away ya know

[@sharkscrapper]

It's a good point. Of course, holding the magnet further away leads to a weaker field attracting the mlcc's. But for me, it no longer matters as I just put them all together. I had thought I would refine them, but the biz has gotten too busy and I rarely remove them anymore. Not sure what I'm going to do with what I have in storage just yet.

You shoul shouldnt use a neodymium magnet to check your mlccs they are to powerful and you will and up tossing valuable mlccs into the worthless pile when they are not . Learned this the hard way and was disgusted with how many mlccs i plucked and chucked all because i was using a hard drive magnet .just use a speaker magnet nothing to strong .

[@sharkscrapper]

Another option is to hold the neodymium magnet further away. It would make for a very interesting experiment to determine the optimal distance above the MLCC's to get the cleanest separation.

Es decir, ni para que esforzarse en recolectarlos. No hay nada que valga la pena. No costea. A menos que yo me ubique en el pasado entre 1960 y 1995 😂😂😂

I'd love to know what you said - can you translate to English please?

[@angel_scraper6858]

That is to say, not even to make an effort to collect them. There is nothing worthwhile. It does not cost. Unless I place myself in the past between 1960 and 1995 😂😂😂

[@sharkscrapper]

Yeah, unless you're serious about precious metal recovery, it's not worth it. Just leave them on the boards and sell the boards.
