Nothing short of amazing - 25% pure gold from that pile of grungy looking drawer dust. That's a fantastic yield - and it was amazing seeing you remove all the junk one step at a time. Really incredible skill at work in this video. 👍
I know nothing about chemistry but this is absolutely captivating not only for walking thru every step and explaining whats going but also the photography. PRICELESS!!!!
If this jeweler at some point replaces his desk, all the wood and organic materials will bear gold. Imagine,... 25% of the scrap in this drawer was pure gold. Excellent return by a master of his craft. Good work Sir! (and very informative)
you've taught me so much about chemistry! thank you very much for the content. i loved the gold ring explanation, everything makes sense when we think about it, and you make a very good job making sense of it
This makes me want to go to my watch repair guy and offer to "clean up" his workspace...but I guess he's probably smart enough to not let me do that. Thanks for another very cool video, Mr. S!
I watch a lot of your videos and appreciate the tips. I have also saved some of your videos for myself as well to my hardrive for personal use of all my metals if I truly need to reshape them for some reason. Thank you for the knowledge and wisdom that is hard to just find and have a raw example of.
Sreetips can we have a “meet sreetips episode” where we find out more about you, your interests and how you got involved in metallurgy and stuff? After watching so many videos it would be good to find out more about the guy who makes the videos! Legend sreetips ⭐️👍
I just got my Silver Crystals in the mail, and boy are they something beautiful to look at!!! Just mind blown at how beautiful they are. you sir did a fabolous job on the refining. Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next video.
I work in science and frequently use palladium in my work. The price of lab-grade palladium has exploded in recent months. Presumably because most of the worlds palladium is extracted in Russia. It might be interesting to keep an eye on palladium prices. It might become lucrative to look at your filters, your silver cell slimes and maybe even your stock pot.
Love your videos and I'm always learning by watching them. I recently just watched a video of a man refining waste from sidewalks outside of jewelry stores and Smith's. Surprising return aswell!
I know a story of an old jewellers work bench. The jeweler one day closed his shop, the heirs sold most of the equipment but one buyer showed much interest in the old work bench. The workbench was in use for decades and showed a lot of wear and tear, and it certainly had seen better days. So you would not set up a workshop with the old work bench. The daughter then took some time and found a very special business that had the special kind of knowledge and equipment to take care of the workbench. They burned it and recovered around one pound of gold from the ashes. So the bench had a much greater value than anybody expected. Certainly much more than the original offer was.
@@BabyJesus66 I do not know any of the persons involved. However it seems plausible that gold particles will stick to the wood of a workbench and get worked into the wood and that you can retrieve it by burning and extracting the ashes.
I'm honestly so in love with this channel. Nothing makes me happier than seeing 'trash' literally turned into gold, and it's so nice to see something otherwise wasted being treated with such care and attention.
Sreetips- thank you for another wonderful upload!! I have been enjoying your content for years now. It's great to see you have been regularly contributing to the education of this topic and entertaining many, many people!
I was a diamond setter for 35 years use to save all the finding ,filing and clippings an that was your Christmas bonus. Them i left and became a chef till i retired.
On the inquartation Cody from "Cody's Lab" did a little demonstration video on it using minecraft blocks as a visual aid, that really helped explaining the process.
That was a surprise Sreetips that didn't look like it had that much gold , it really didn't look as though it would . Shows you what I know lol . That a nice mix of events to get that yield . I simply love the process it takes . Thanks again for your wisdom and I'll see you soon my friend . Cheers
A client owned a jewelry supply company. They made gold chains and findings( catches, stone mount prong settings etc) . They kept a individual section of carpet under each jewelers bench that did gold work and periodically replaced the rugs after vacuuming to be sure no stray stones were in it they wrapped it up and sent to to a refiner who burned the rugs in a furnace and recovered the gold for a percentage.
I have about 2000g of gold rivets from the early 1980s that were used for PCB electrical contacts; I think the base metal is nickel, It is a shame they were not solid gold. Your videos amaze me
I'm definitely interested in learning how to safely do this, I've always loved science and I'm excited to start on the long journey of learning these processes and the chemistry behind it. I was just wondering, for a beginner on a budget, which fume hoods would you recommend for these chemical processes?
Just some tips or ideas you may try. Three decades ago when I did fire assaying of ores on our mining claims, we used lead litharge to collect the gold, silver and PGMs and a flux to remove the base metals, that the gold, silver and platinum group metals were collected in the lead - the silver and gold helped collect the PGMs - then used bone ash cupels to absorb the lead oxide leaving a precious metal bead/button. When you have a good guess of how much gold, silver, etc, you can add a known weight of silver could be added at the cupeling stage to aid in the nitric acid separating the gold and PGMs. If you are using stirling silver add it to the flux smelt and you can remove the copper (or/and nickel from some alloys) into the slag and adjust the amout of flux to accommodate for the copper. I also used a polished steel anvil and ballpen hammer to flatten the button of alloy before putting it in the nitric acid to aid in parting the metals.
By the way everything takes practice to perfect. But you can save a lot of money using your electric furnace to smelt with a flux to remove base metals, that you are wasting in acids and the amount of time you're using. Potash, Soda Ash, and some clean silica sand, lead litharge or other pure lead as the collecter, maybe some wheat flour as a reducer in silicon carbide 16 oz crucibles that are reusable if you take care of them, and a metal button cone mold that the whole melt is poured into it and after cooling the button is broken from the slag.

@@sreetips There are two books you should invest in and study - the first one I reccommend you start with and can get by without the other book - "Recovery and Refining of Precious Metals" by C.W. Ammon (2nd edition) The second is "Sampling and Assaying of the Precious Metals, comprising gold,silver, platinum and the other platinum group metals in ores, bullion and products" by Ernest A. Smith. That you are only doing small batches of refining or separating alloys to recover the precious metals the electric furnace should be okay to use and control the temperature. A small propane burner furnace - you can build yourself - can do bigger batches that have a lot of base metals to separate into a flux takes learning color temperatures as too hot will release the base metals from the flux into the button, that can be removed by chemicals like you already do, but far less of them as most will stay in the flux. While at first this is all extra expences to start, in the long run it will save you money and time. Hope to see future videos with these changes.
@@sreetips Just another tip. If you use lead as a collector it can easily be separated from the silver after precipitation from a weak nitric acid as clorides by boiling in hot neutral ph water. After it cools the lead cloride will re-precipitate - maybe a little sodium chloride to start it. Tip 2, before you try to precipitate anything with regaents the solution should be close to ph 7. The only difference is using a cementing method by a lower base metal that needs the acid or caustic to cause the reaction.
I have never been a huge fan of gold and have always preferred wearing silver jewellery, however, after watching a few (lot) of your videos recently, I have to admit that I'm falling n love with gold. It's intrinsic "permanence" It's incorruptability The way it drops out of solution when you add SMB The way that mud, which you wouldn't so much as look at if you saw it lying on the ground, turns into bright, shiny gold with the simple application of heat and the glittering little ingots that drop out of your mould which I would love to hold, weigh and caress in my hands. Mmmm! 🤤 *Ahem* Safe to say, I enjoy your videos very much.
Aqua regia will turn orange even with no gold in it. You’d be surprised at how many viewers have tried to precipitate gold from a solution that contained no gold. A simple stannous test would reveal this error. Did you test with stannous?
Always look forward to your videos. I see how studious you are about keeping filter osiers for recovery as well as your waste liquids. I was curious if you do anything to recover PM from the cardboard to line your v hood with or your lab clothes? Or if you do a regular clean up sweep in the shop (like if bits of gold pop out while melting) / clean the flashback from the hood vent walls? I’ve noticed for older videos the hood vent was pure white and after several years it’s gotten some stains from spills etc.
My big problem is silver grinding and the bork acid mix I use to do jewelry repair. Will the bork acid do anything to the acid you use to break everything with?
It’s built into to the unit. I’ve replaced the motor several times. The only part exposed to the fume path is a small part of the motor shaft that the fan hangs from
I used to work in a jewelry shop. Once a year the goldsmiths would clean out their bench drawers and it would all get shipped off to the refiners, along with all the other accumulated scrap. The store would then get a credit on their next gold order.
I just watched a video of yours on my TV melting clips and bits from your savings into a stunning bar but not sure which video it was🙈 Anyway I'm an e-waste scrapping woman and love all kinds of metal melting etc and loved your slightly different style content. I've joined you 🙂👍
It took eleven years of refining experience to pull off the computer pins refining that I did a few months back. Not a good place for a beginner to start. Small batch of karat scrap would good first attempt. But before you even think about it, get a fume hood. No way to do these reactions safely without one.
@@sreetips I appreciate the feedback I watched the computer pin video that you put up as well, I'll take that from the expert and look for karat scrap. The fume hood is 100 a must with the reactions and gasing off and would be the first piece to aquire once committing to trying this process. It's awesome content 👏 and your silver cell recovery is something of a marvel the way the crystals grow. It's a novel idea but it would be awesome to see a sreetips 1 gram gold recovery science kit on shelves, the works acids beakers karat scrap etc unfortunately with a gas reactions there's probably a liability issue but never the less it would be awesome.
In the future try to avoid putting ice into the solution. Even though it was made with Distilled water the tray itself is a potential contaminant. A better way that I use is a ice salt-water bath.
You once told me, "The value isn't in the gold, it's in the knowledge." Sir, I couldn't agree more! Thank you for the knowledge!
Unless you get a LOT of gold... then the value is prolly in the gold. 😁
