Inquarting GOLD With Pure Silver Crystal

www.ebay.com/usr/sreetips
I use Pure Silver Crystal to inquart the Karat Gold instead of the usual Sterling Silver. The inquarted gold looked much different. It was gorgeous 6k gold that had a very unique shine.

[@shaneyork300]

The texture, shape & color of the gold after the nitric boils has got to be the prettiest I've ever seen!!!

[@dscapes1]

As soon as you poured the liquid Gold into that Ingot it had a great roundness to the top. Thats one of the best looking bars I've ever seen, Bravo 👌

[@sreetips]

Thank you

[@NOFX0890]

One of your best pours. What a fine looking bar Sreetips. Nice work.

[@looweeg4229]

I'm not sure if this video is related to the comment I made 2 weeks ago about using pure silver instead of sterling, but in any case thank you for taking the time to educate us once again. First, this inquarted gold looked stunning. Pretiest shots on this channel i saw so far. I understand better why you prefer sterling even if it looked a bit less dirty after only one refining. Yes it's cleaner, but by using sterling you can do a double refining (gold + silver) and it's also easier to see when the nitric boils are over. The good thing is that you can recycle the silver indefintly if for some reason you run out of sterling. Crazy pretty ingot at the end as well. Also remember you left some crumble at the first filtration. That missing gram is probably there. Well done!

[@panteleon1]

i did this comment also 2 years ago my question was to inquart gold with either pure silver or cemented silver from the bucket

[@looweeg4229]

@@panteleon1 I guess cemented silver could make some sense as well.

[@sreetips]

Using cement silver causes palladium to build up in the silver and creates problems in the silver cell.

[@looweeg4229]

@@sreetips Interesting so a silver cell is the only way to really clean up silver I guess. Is there such a thing as a cell for each PMG?

[@sreetips]

Pgm cell, I don’t know, but probably so. I can get three nines silver via the silver chloride conversion with lye and sugar. No silver cell required.

[@paulfay357]

Sreetips! Thank you. We appreciate your hard work! You have inspired me to try this for myself. The thought of having a hobby that pays for itself is very appealing. The chemistry part is easy, as well as the acquisition of scrap to refine, but I would love to see a complete soup to nuts series on waste treatment. I have a strict rule on the farm here where I live and run my heavy equipment repair business. We don't allow anything toxic to go down the drain or hit the ground out here where we also garden and raise chickens. My grandkids drink from our deep well and eat the food we produce and we are sticklers about waste management.

[@sreetips]

Good policy

[@williamfoote2888]

Review his video library. He’s done a waste treatment video. His waste streams are iron sludges and various salts (chloride, sulfate, nitrate). By keeping things like lead and mercury out of his process, the iron sludges can be sent to the dump and the salt solutions can go to the city sewer, especially at these low volumes. He generates a pure copper mud that is probably scrappable. To my mind, obtaining the raw materials is the only thing from keeping me from jumping into this on a hobby scale.

[@isaacclark9825]

This looks like something you did just for me!!! Based on what I see here, as long as you are not going really high-carat gold, you don't lose your color indicator.

[@floydsallee2041]

I'm glad to see you use the crystal, I've often wondered why now you say because of the color and I get that. However it looked to me that the incourtation process worked out better, judging from the color of the shot.

[@sreetips]

It made some very clean looking inquarted gold. That’s because there’s less copper. The main problem, as stated in the video, once it’s dissolved out with nitric, it must be cemented and run back through the silver cell. Using pure silver to inquart gold is like taking a step backwards.

[@floydsallee2041]

@sreetips yes it is like taking a step backwards, and that's one way to look at it. Another way to look at it is you don't have to buy any more sterling silver. And this might be dumb but you could use the silver shot to.

[@sreetips]

I’m buying all the sterling I can get my hands on. It’s grossly undervalued. I have a hundred pounds of cement silver waiting to run through the silver cells. I want a thousand!

[@AquanautSt1]

you absolutely nailed the pour man !! 🎯 Epic !

[@piotr86]

Thank you for this experiment. How about another one? After precipitating the gold, you boiled it in hydrochloric acid. What would happen if you used dilute nitric acid instead? When the gold is in the form of a fine powder, nitric acid is more likely to remove residual unwanted metals than when the gold is in the form of granules. Maybe next time, after the first refining, rinse the gold thoroughly and boil it in dilute nitric acid, and after the second refining, boil it in hydrochloric acid. This should remove a broad spectrum of contaminants. Use sterling silver for inquartation to prove this idea. You can store the used nitric acid for further processes.

[@1988Mauritz]

that was probably your best bar ever aint nobody going to complain of fisheyes and all that other crap they had going before! imo that shouldnt even get stamped it should be cased like hockey/baseball/magic cards to see how far your pouring skill have gone/become. dont know how to use the last word right not a native speaker but i hope you understand.

Well, it's a bit of a shame to waste nitric acid to put the same silver into solution twice and to have to clean it in the silver cell twice. If you don't have any junk silver cutlery to use for inquartation, I'd take it as my motivator to find some for cheap and increase the size of my silver stack in the process.

[@sreetips]

I did it for the demonstration. It’s not something I’d do regularly.

[@Alsacien]

@@sreetips I hope that it was clear that I was replying to @shieldwolffalcontrainer9040, because you're the last person I'd worry about not having cheap junk silver cutlery on hand at all times to inquart some gold. ;) Videos where you try something new as an experiment so that we can all learn something new together are some of my favorites. I spoke about cheap nitric acid the other day, I still hope that we'll see you refine some gold with cheap weak 40%-53% nitric acid someday to see if it creates issues or if it can be economical to do so.

Great video once again! How would the gold bar look if you would pull the burner away just before you pour the gold?😅

[@sreetips]

The flame keeps air away from the gold as it freezes. It’s called a reducing flame. Pulling the flame, I don’t know, I’ve never tried it. But my guess is that it wouldn’t be as pretty as the bar that’s held under the fire while it solidifies.

I’ve been meaning to suggest / comment a similar video request: Would you consider making pure 6K and pouring into bars or shot and selling on your store? That would be from pure silver crystal & pure gold, 3:1, which would avoid all the impurities, but yet give that iridescent looking 6K product? I just suggest because it would allow you to split up one Ozt of gold into like 4 pieces that you could sell, possibly increasing the amount of people who can buy a Sreetips unique creation, and maybe increasing your own profits? Anyways, great vid as usual, thanks!

Both gold and silver are grossly and artificially undervalued. Selling either, at these prices, would be a big mistake.

[@CrimFerret]

I could tell when you melted that gold it was super high purity. There was absolutely nothing floating on it. I wouldn't be surprised if that were to test out at four 9s. It may be a pain to re-refine the silver, but I think reducing the amount of base metals in the alloy makes for a better final result as far as the gold goes.

[@sreetips]

I can get it just as pure using sterling silver. Pure copper actually seems to work better than silver. But I refine silver. The first step in refining silver is to dissolve it in nitric acid. So for me it makes more sense to use sterling silver for inquartation.

[@spencermaiers8322]

Masterpiece bar there. Chunky. Maybe the refiner you deal with will ask you for a few tips on how to do a professional job 😄

[@Didjamama]

Sreetips big fan and have watched for years it feels and I have to ask, can you explain why you are are disolving the gold so many times? You mention how its three nines fine (probably) after removing the silver but I have always felt like you are potentially wasting acid by adding in redundant cycles. Zero experience and uneducated here this is just my thoughts/question but I find your videos fascinating and this has always been on my mind. Thanks and keep the content coming, you're great!

[@sreetips]

Dissolving, filtering, precipitating is the refining cycle. Each time we repeat a cycle, the gold becomes more pure. Until reaching the point of diminishing returns. That’s probably after the third refining. After that, to get higher purity would require electrolytic refining. Electrolytic refining can get the gold to four nines fine. That’s 9,999 part per ten thousand pure gold. Three nines is industry standard for pure gold. Anything greater than that is not necessary, unless needed for some specific purpose.

[@lylestavast7652]

the drying progression was interesting watching as the heat drove the moisture to the surface in that thicker portion and then *poof* - all dry. Thanks - interesting - Is copper your preferred inquarting material then ?

[@sreetips]

No, sterling silver is best. Because I refine silver also.

[@aga5897]

The time-lapse stuff is just Superb ! A thing that slightly bothers me - you use a finer grade filter paper for the Second refining right ? Just that any junk that came through the first refining made it through the First filter paper's grade.

[@sreetips]

Agree, that’s the one that took two passes through the same filter paper.

[@aga5897]

@@sreetips Well, there's no need to rely on junk remaining 'stuck' in the microscopic hole in the filter paper (it might not). You could just switch to a filter paper with a Guaranteed smaller pore size. That's why there are a ton of filter paper Grades (Pore sizes) e.g. Whatman 1,2,3,4,5 etc. Probably be quicker too.

[@adrianburns9579]

Ppl remember you have to denox the nitric acid before using smb. Which is something you will never see done in these amazing video he does. As always great work sir🎉🎉🎉

[@sreetips]

If I add just the right amount of nitric, to just dissolve the gold, then there’s no reason to denoxx because there won’t be any excess nitric to get rid of.

Hi Mr Streetrips I love your channel. I am a bit scared of acids. I can see you just know how to handle them and store. I just want to know handle them and put the waste without hurting myself or anything else.

[@sreetips]

That’s a healthy fear to have. These chemicals can hurt or even kill you if handled improperly.

[@MostlyIC]

Sreetips, might be the cleanest bar yet !, also look at how clean the melt dish is after pouring !, I wonder if it would be a good idea to keep the inquartation melt dishes separate from the gold pouring melt dishes ?, last question: maybe the last nitric boils could use straight nitric as there isn't much silver/copper left so might not need extra water to hold those nitrates in solution and more concentrated nitric might do a better job ?

[@sreetips]

I’ll use that melt dish for clean high purity gold only. Until it gets dirtied up. Then retire it to inquartation. Straight nitric would be like using straight liquid dish soap to wash your hands. The water increases the nitric’s efficiency.

Best ingot yet mr tips

[@gsnovato_autotech]

That is a fairly tall beaker your starting with. Is there a reason you are doing multiple boils over adding 3X as much nitric with distilled water considering it isn't boiling very much?

[@sreetips]

I use a tall beaker, way bigger than I need, because I learned that too big is always better than not big enough. Doing many small nitric boils is better than doing fewer large nitric boils. The nitric gets expended from the reaction and from the heat. By using small boils I can pour off the weak nitric and keep fresh strong nitric on the inquarted gold, changing it out frequently. None of the nitric gets wasted. I keep my silver jar filled with plenty of sterling silver to consume any excess free nitric that may still be present.

[@PrometheusZandski]

This never gets old. Seeing that gold sand precipitate out is always like magic. I saw you evaporate aqua regia with gold to get crystals before. Is there a reason you don't just evaporate the solution, then melt the gold from there? If you left it in a beaker, I suppose it would stick to the sides, but you could pour the syrup into a crucible and then evaporate and melt it.

[@sreetips]

The chloroauric acid crystals will decompose, some forming metallic gold, and, I fear, some forming purple smoke that floats away into the air.

[@JSMCPN]

Seems like if you're still pulling silver on the 4th and 5th boils, then those boils should be allowed to run longer before dumping and replacing the acid. Each subsequent boil leaves stronger acid at the end, no? Just don't want to see acid going to waste.

[@sreetips]

The longer it boils, the weaker the acid becomes. That why I do many small acid boils rather than fewer large-volume acid boils. Adding fresh acid, even if the previous one is still producing some red fumes, speeds the process. Plus, I keep plenty of sterling silver in the silver jar so that all available free nitric acid gets consumed.

[@bassfacekyproud9332]

Good morning Sir. Had a question about your setup on your gases and torch head. On your oxy-acetelyn combo,.. with the torch,.. from your perspective and time using,…. What is your preferred gauge settings on both tanks without feeding the oxygen for cutting,…??? Also,… you hv used a brazing torch head on prior videos,.. and as a total greenie myself,.. what is your opinion of which to “cut my teeth on”,… ? Much thanks for your views…. Ken from Ky.

[@sreetips]

I started with oxy/acetylene torch with cutting head (because that’s how it came out of the box). But recently I started using the brazing tip. I use a separate braze tip for silver and a separate braze tip for gold. I don’t know if this is necessary. I use the cutting head to inquart. It gets very dirty. I sometimes use the cutting head to melt the gold, just because it’s an extra step to change the tips. I think the oxygen is set at about 35 PSI and the acetylene is about five PSI. When melting the gold I use the least amount of flame (gas flow) as possible. Get the gold too hot with the flame set too high and the gold and silver will start spitting little balls of molten gold out of the melt dish. To remedy I turn the flame down real low, and tilt the melt dish to cause the pool of molten gold to travel off the center of the bottom of the dish and aim the flame away from the metal. This seems to stop it from spitting.
