Agreed! There is something so satisfying about watching it. When I first started watching this channel, I used to stress when he would decant gold and clearly you could see small amounts of it being washed into the waste. After watching for a while, I figured out that it does not matter, as that gold will be recovered eventually. The same with filters, etc. I'm sure he loses a tiny amount up the fume hood, but probably close to 100% of all other "lost" gold gets recovered eventually.

@@aaabeverages7152 only if he used ferric sulfide, smb doesn't have iron as a part of its structure. Boiling the solution is just to settle the precipitate of gold. He later adds HCL acid to further clean the precipitation of sulfur by boiling though and that might confuse folks since most do not due to the trival gold ion exchange with hot HCL acid. As it all goes into the waste jar, trivial becomes moot, and is recovered. I think more folks should do this. The heat of melting gold breaks the molecular bonds within the HCL acid and does not affect the resulting pour in any fashion.

Silver, copper and gold all have very high thermal conductivity, water has very high latent heat of vaporisation and specific heat capacity as well. The water boiling cools the surface very quickly to 100 degrees C (you can sometimes hear the squeak for a second or so as the inside temperature follows, to drop the next 60 degrees C is not much slower if the water is at room temperature.

@sreetips I have my doubts about how feasible that is when there is also gallons of copper chloride wastes to also evaporate and incinerate or pyrolyze. There's also the issue that gold stannate, aka Purple of Cassius, is a known high temperature pigment. I know that you can dissolve the dry residue in a molten sodium salt (sodium nitrate or possibly SMB) and form sodium stannate instead. Which is water soluble and can be washed out. I also read in a pigment forum that the addition of sodium chloride salt will cause the pigment to settle out of suspension, allowing easier collection, but I haven't tried that yet.
@Vibe77Guy
@Vibe77Guy 8 ай бұрын
@CothranMike No. Copperas will drop gold in solution. Gold stannate is in suspension, not solution. Gold stannate is the purple positive stannous test result. It stole the gold from the gold chloride solution and is now a colloidal suspension. Tin in a chloride solution is stannous chloride, same as what one would test for gold in solution with. It can form if there was Tin on or in the materials being processed in a chloride leach.

My slimes from copper metal in e-waste are rarely black/grey and mostly tan/white. I figure I am cementing a degree of "tin/nickel/etc" along with the PMs, and losing a degree to the stronger tin ionic bonds still in suspension. These wastes are mainly from initial hcl boils, and I haven't yet seen sreetips reuse his copper2chloride wastes, but have seen dirtier scrapper types do this, seems the solution can handle a lot before fully pregnant with assorted metallic salts. Thanks to the comments I am reaffirmed that most of our slimes are not as pure to begin with, and need a lot more sorting out.

@@russ9740 I see what you are saying, this is after he rinsed the side of container from the smb drop and after the settling boil. The bottom layer looks golden yellow and the top looks clear, right? I'll look and see. Edited I look again and see this is after the addition of HCL and boil so what you are seeing is a small amount of dissolution of gold by the boiling HCL which is denser than the remaining HCL due to the gold ions it contains. He does this to clean the smb dropped gold by hot non-dilute HCL. That salute contains a very small amount of gold (trivial) but mostly it is full of ionic sulfur and its oxides left from the smb to drop gold via ion exchange. If it was ferris sulfide used instead of smb there would be iron sulfide to remove, these look even more like gold but are not. The yellow color in this instance is still sulfides though which look yellow and are not gold. I hope this helps you to understand the chemistry.

It might be an interesting experiment to Date your waste containers between the time you do this and the next time. So Say this Set of waste is June 9th (or whatever date you actually did this) and later. Then, keep track of all the Gold "missing" from each of your estimates in your gold refining between now and the next time you recover your gold wastes. Then add that back to see what percentage it covers your "missing" gold from your estimates. Not really needed, but might be fun info.

No stannous test after adding the SMB? I know the waste is just recycled again and never lost but I was surprised to see you didn't test the waste solution after precipitation

No, I add copper to drop and traces of precious metals in the gold refining waste solution.

Would be awesome if you could make one episode where you calculate all your products used and eventual losses. Like how much does it cost to refine one ounce of gold to .999
@sreetips
@sreetips 8 ай бұрын
I can tell you that this one cost less than fifty dollars all in. Not counting the metal.

What purity would this gold have, considering its from waste materials? Can you get 999 pure from just a single refining, because it was FROM a 999 pure refining?
@sreetips
@sreetips 8 ай бұрын
It’s very close to three nines. Much can be determined about purity by the way the gold looks after it’s poured into a bar.

The final gold bar seemed to be a 1/20th of the volume of the wet gold crumbs filled in the crucible minutes before.

@sreetips 8 ай бұрын
Agree. The gold sponge/powder has way more volume than the melted gold. I actually thought it was going to be a full ounce as judged by the volume of the powder in the melt dish.

What are these waste containers ?
@sreetips
@sreetips 8 ай бұрын
After refining the gold, I use distilled water and hydrochloric acid to rinse the pure gold powder. I pour the rinses off into these temporary waste containers. Some of the gold powder gets poured off with the rinses into these temporary waste containers. I allow the gold powder to an accumulate, and then, when there’s enough gold powder built up I recover it and make a pure gold bar for my stack.

Wait a sec. What if there is lead, platinum, silver, palladium, etc in the waste solution? Do you need to add a dropper of sulfuric acid somewhere to crash out the lead?
