I stopped wasting my hard earned money on gold filled scrap to refine . Now I'm strictly just buying solid gold to refine best decision I made. First best decision was to follow your channel

[@gloriabadon2694]

Y buy to get by?😊

[@AlexLifeson1985]

that must cost a small fortune

[@jlfa4720]

I don’t understand why you want to refine solid gold, can you give me a quick explanation? New to all this stuff.I understand why you’d do that to the unpure stuff. Thanks,

[@sreetips]

By solid gold he probably means karat gold. Gold filled is a thick coating of karat gold over brass.

[@leonardonetagamer]

@@sreetips but why refine karat gold, isn't it already pure?

[@user-pn1io8qo9x]

[@Alondro77]

This is the series I was hoping for! I'd like to do electrolytic purification of my forthcoming gold, as it requires so much lower total volumes of reagents, and thus much less waste. Electricity is DIRT CHEAP where I live, so it'll be VASTLY more cost-effective too.

I find Gold in solution beautiful. Maybe a cool item you could sell in a small glass vial?

[@lvstofly]

Maybe he could sell it by ppm and volume and weight?

[@SuperDavidEF]

@@lvstofly I would be interested in it too. But I think he'd probably have to seal it some way to prevent leakage during shipping. I think an amount containing exactly one gram of gold would be a good standard. And if it were concentrated to the deep orange color, it would be amazing!

[@PhilsHobbyRoom]

I never get tired of looking at the silver cell 😊 that's the most beautiful thing 😍 Streetips you are a very talented man!!

[@michaelgrey4399]

I love your videos and thank you for doing this process. I think the growing of silver crystals in the electrolytic cell is a beautiful process and was wondering if you could do the same for gold. I will be looking forward to the watch this process, seeing the growth over several days, the final yield and length of the metallic crystals. I have seen natural formations of gold crystals, which are beautiful, and eager to see the final results. Thank you for enquarting (sp?) chemistry with art!

Mindblowm 🤯 I wanna take gold from scrap circuits n stuff too 🙂 I don't know how, and I don't want to die trying to figure it out the hard way, so I've been watching videos like yours.

[@christopherleubner6633]

If you stir the water well with a mag stirrer it makes much smaller chunks of your inquirted gold so it disolves quicker 🤓❤ your videos.

[@user-vk3fi4dm2d]

Great video! I was hoping that someday you will make the electrolytic gold cell, but no so soon! Also, I'm a little worried that the titanium cathode will not work as expected, that's because titanium is way higher in the electrochemical series of metals, meaning you would need to supply additional voltage to force the gold in solution to precipitate in the titanium cathode, besides that, that electrolyte looks pretty good! I can't wait to see your next video, I'm sure you will get some shinny gold crystals for sure!

[@SuperDavidEF]

I'm trying to figure out why sreetips is using a titanium cathode anyway. I thought from his other electrolytic gold refining that the gold precipitate is permanently bonded to the cathode. Why would a titanium cathode be used for precipitating gold?

[@user-vk3fi4dm2d]

​@@SuperDavidEF I was wondering the same, in his silver cell he uses a stainless steel cathode, maybe gold doesn't bind to titanium because of the titanium oxide layer that forms on its surface in such aggressive solution that prevents metal to metal contact? If that's the case, that possibly applies in the stainless steel cathode too, where the oxide layer is formed by the Chromium and prevents the silver from strongly binding to the cathode.

Hello Sreetips I think You could reduce amount of copper on the sterling silver by sulphuric acid pickle before loading the anode basket, thus reducing copper contamination of the nitrate, regards George

I agree with those above that are excited to see this in action! I would love to see a video about your melting set up, where do you use propane vs. aceteline. Would be very interesting. Let me know if you've already covered this!

[@sreetips]

I use MAP gas (yellow cylinder) and oxy/acetylene. I use propane for my gas furnace.

[@johannesdesloper8434]

ow awesome awesome awesome, I've been thinking about the Gold cell lately. I do notice you pass one of the parameters. Current density. 125 Amps per square foot. I'd converse that to metric to do math with that.

[@kmarasin]

Re: the anode bar, you need some sort of plastic clip or band to hold the anode bar firmly to the basket of shot, so that as the level drops firm contact is made. That should then require less observation and adjustment.

[@DobleWhiteAndStabley]

One day I will be able to afford to do half of what you do lol.

[@dn2817]

I have a question that I think would make good video. Can you show us what this orange/ brown gold power looks like under magnification? Also, i bet the silver crystals would look really fascinating under a microscope. I just wonder if gold powder looks like gold when really magnified. It kind of looks like top soil after you’ve dried & cooled it.

[@sreetips]

Best viewed under a scanning electron microscope. I’ll check with the local university.

[@wheat-is-an-ugly-drug]

Is the ice made from deionised water? Have tried adding the sulphuric before adding the ice followed by a wait? Maybe the lead and heavies would drop to then be filter? Do you think adding the sulphuric at the beginning of the reaction may cause you to form lead nitrate which is soluble in water?

[@sreetips]

I’ve is made of tap water. Adding sulfuric then is the way I learned it from professional refiners.

[@DrRedmanPhD]

Do you know roughly what purity the gold is after the nitric acid step? I'm wondering if high purity wasn't a concern if you could just skip the aqua regia step entirely.

[@sreetips]

Probably just above 990 parts per thousand.

We go to yard sales and estate sales. We find junk jewelry and often there are karat gold and gold filled watches for a few bucks. So we buy them. But you must get up early and be there first or the hood stuff will be long gone.

I add silver so that the nitric can penetrate. I double refine the gold for the highest purity.

[@bigguix]

i'm kind of a noob here. when you sort out the gold at the start, are you able to "see" the karats just by looking at the pieces or do you test them or are they stamped ? tyvm !

[@sreetips]

They are marked. I use these markings to sort them. I’ve looked at thousands of pieces in my 20 years working with these metals. I can tell a fake piece, even if it’s marked proper, just by looking at it.

[@Alrik.]

I know you like to use sterling silver for inquartation because you refine silver at the same time. But would it be just as possible to use gold filled scrap for inquartation, or would that maybe result in too many contaminants?

[@sreetips]

GF can be used for inquartation. I posted a video recently doing just that. It worked, but the gold began to crumble to a powder during the nitric boils. I prefer processing gold filled material separately. And using sterling for inquartation.

[@idontknowmyfirstname69]

If i was more of a gambler id wager the cloudiness of your solution was very fine silver chloride in suspension. Its so fine even slow lab filter paper doesn't easily catch it. I have better luck using the cotton ball jammed into a funnel method if filtration. The liquid of the solution wicks down the cotton fibers leaving that ultra fine particulate behind. If it was me before that though i would dilute it with water by a lot to ensure wll the silver was kicked kut of solution before filtration. Takes longer but makes for a cleaner initial drop. Cuts overhead costs in the end. My 2¢
