How to Recycle Gold from Circuit Boards. Many electronic devices contain a small amount of gold, especially on the circuit board. This is because gold is a highly efficient conductor (better than copper) and it does not corrode, ensuring therefore that no interruption occurs in transmitting voltages and currents needed to run the device. If you’ve opened an electronic device before, such as radios, televisions, or even your old cellphone, you’ve seen their inner workings. Ever noticed those shiny gold-colored parts on the circuit boards? Those bright pieces of metal are, in fact, gold. Gold is used on electronic circuit boards because of its excellent conductive properties and because it doesn’t corrode or rust over time. If you still have any of those circuit boards lying around, have a bit of fun and mine them for gold.
I love watching videos on how to recycle gold from old electronics scrap, but, for me the best & most entertaining part of this particular video, by far, was the narration!
"Hey Alexa, we ran out of curcuit boards and I need a little more to finish this"..."Dont even think about it, Dave, I just contacted the police and told them your location in the woods, and that smelting gold isn't the only thing you're cooking out here."
Dump them in the sewer in the night... Just be careful no one is looking lol. Just kidding, that is ilegal, you can put some electricity to recover other metals like copper, iron and with any luck things like tantalium. Or you could get some scrap iron and use that to recover copper from the waste, copper sells also for a pretty peny. And then you end up with iron chloride and nitrate, neutralize with calcium hidroxide to produce iron hydroxide (rust) and calcium salts that could be added to fertilizer, at your own risk.
Good call.u could start by neutrilizeing the acids down to harmless and separating the resulting solutions into plastic labeled jugs until full and then of course u just drive down ur local freeway and toss them out the window at jackasses with fat guys and long grey ponytails on Harleys with the baffles removed to maximize the " look at me" factor and prevent u from having normal hearing again for months.
Mam it's a very clear information and thank u so much. Am interested to do this job so please once again give me information about all the equipments and materials list for this work pls mam waiting for urgent reply and thank u so much.
So, under 2 grams of gold worth about £40.00 give or take a few bob. What do all the chemicals cost and the time spent. AND the Oxy-Acetylene set up. Would it be worth doing? great film experiment. Thanks a lot.
2g of 24k gold is worth £90, but still the chemicals and electrical components probably cost more, or marginally less than the gold which gives you an almost negligible profit margin which is only significant large scale. I think this channel is mostly informative and entertaining rather than commercial or industrial advice
Gold scrap is far more valuable per pound than useable gold ore, however, it is still only profitable in large volumes, (I'd personally use less chemicals and more mechanical process to recover the gold)
@ Come on now. Can't you see a single other reason to do it? If not, then i pitty your limited existence. Me i can think of several reasons, besides the instant gratification you seem to want to follow. So sad.
I question if its worth the effort and expense of consumables needed to extract the gold unless doing it on an industrial scale where a lot more scrap can be processed in a single batch. The gold plating is VERY THIN and even getting a gram of gold would be hard.
Very helpful video and highly instructive especially for beginners. I am a chemist and can't thank you enough for your INSPIRING WORK. Do you still the have copies of your manual for extracting gold by electrolysis? I am interested in buying one please. You have my full support !
Those big golden hybrid componants are actually unusual and collectible. Looks like the boards are from some very complicated scientific or medical equipment ?
Commercially hydrochloric acid is called muriatic, and can be used to clean concrete floors. Don't know if there are more stringenr laws on Denmark but that is an over the counter chemical here, nitric on the other hand is controlled as it is the basis for a ton of explosives (TNT, Nitro...)
Does your comment have any factual backup? At best = less than or equal to 35.00 USD correct? Where is tjat coming from? How much did he start with? All unknown
$35 of gold for say 8 hours of direct work seems ok, specially in poorer countries where you can live with a couple dollars a day. Besides, the time it takes to do this is little, so you can do salvage of other stuff while your electronics are swimming in acid
@@thatguy4234 i think you are over estimating what you get. You have, at best 22 k gold. The "pickling process", at the end, is to put "lipstick on a pig". It's strickly cosmetic and works only on the surface of the button, to make it shine. There still exists impurities.
wish there was a way, even it took longer, to refine the gold without using these acids, with things we have at home. i know solution of vinnegar and salt will skin the gold plate, but dont know how to go from there on.
It would be nice to watch this informative video and be able to understand what is going on. The attempt at being cute with the robot Yoda voice makes a technical learning experience very difficult while trying to decipher what the heck it is talking about.
I just seen the D it out with my gold pan that's a lot of hard work to but it's about the same amount of gold so the amount at work and effort but I get to catch fish and sea birds hello
Andy Samuel i don’t have the stuff to do it so if you can I give you half of the gold it is 230 grams after it’s clean I give half of the clean gold I just don’t have the silver and the stuff to do it
Agreed,ever more so when it makes no sense as in it's not even English...! Use proper grammar, the subject is quite complicated and dangerous, how many people will cause themselves injuries through not preceding with safety in mind due to misinformation ?? Always remember to breathe lol
Hi I am computer building hard drive and CPU memory, I have see lot of gold parallel. I didn't know how to keep all scrap mother boards. I threw away because there was gold chips inside all installations motherboard. Now I see what you have show here to keep it gold recycled. I need to know how to using liquid remove green board and sort out the gold. How long it take process liquid melt fiber to see gold came out at last. Wow I was lucky save all one in box.
Why use fire and create all those toxic fumes if you're just going to use a hammer to smash the slots open anyway? Just use some pliers to pull them off in the first place.
....and a lighter to fire up ur camp stove without the potassium permanganate or just manganate as the Alexa called it. I can see someone stopping at a chem supply and asking for that.
LOL, $345? At today's market value, it's more like $110..... Even more of a waste of time, 🤣. Either way though, I'm gonna save up a bunch of gold plating just for fun and do a batch one day just because I want my own little ball of gold I refined myself!

avoid trying performing at comedy clubs. Toddlers tell better jokes. Yawn.
Don't listen to that dude! Shit was hilarious!
I think should be worth explain how to discart the chemicals. ..

Small scale for maybe and end of civilization sort of thing
Gold is based on ounces if you sell it.
@@changedmynamecauseofyt652 It's sold in grams too. You can get a 1g bar for about $75

What is the foggy clean gold water???? In the spray bottle.

is that urea which use as fertilizer?
🤔 Hello is there not another way of doing this ???
Without using acids ??? I can not buy them where I live .
Team Skovhugger apparently hydrochloric acid mixed with bleach will dissolve gold into solution. Both are cheap and easy to get.
@@thatguy4234 🤔 just not easy to get here in Denmark where I live. NOT without SWAT TEAM STORMING MY HOUSE WITHIN 5 MINUTES 😖
Team Skovhugger most hardware stores around here sell hydrochloric acid maybe check there its kind of a common chemical
Commercially hydrochloric acid is called muriatic, and can be used to clean concrete floors.
Don't know if there are more stringenr laws on Denmark but that is an over the counter chemical here, nitric on the other hand is controlled as it is the basis for a ton of explosives (TNT, Nitro...)
There sure is using 40% vinegar and a tablespoon of salt and leave it alone for a couple weeks and ul achieve the same effect
That's one way to recycle gold it is so cool
What is the of the acid used for the Gold
Nitric and hydrochloric were stated in the video. Maybe we watched two different ones?
Nope. It's Nitruc acid only. It's used to "burn off" impurities on the surface of the button, "to make it shine". It's also called "pickling".
Gold GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD.. LOLL !!
Hi how or where can i get training how can i start learning
What was that foggy clean?? any chemical or just water??
Yes, I am also curious what "foggy clean gold water" is
Nice video :)
You have taken all conc. Acid or base acid
So where am i suposed to buy nitric acid from
"you must be careful of danger, it makes you die in the future" LMAO
Ricardo Flores pretty sure a heat gun and respirator Outside would be optimal but that’s just me
😂😂😂
Meanwile i can see his fingers turning color from the acid... LMAO
Which circuit board are u use? and what is price?, and is their any profit?
What do you make from this gold??
In Which type of electric device you find those circuit boards..
here in Auckland N.Z i have a fair amount of gold plated . how to get the chemicals ? for process is seemingly impossible. CAN ANYONE HELP ?
where did you buy these items from? here I have trouble getting junk or computer waste. can i buy it from you?

Ghana🇬🇭. I can see you interested in Gold. So just hi me for more insight.
I can see you interested in Gold, so let's talk if there will be business possibility.
can I just force it out using the pliers?
Hopefully when gold is at a higher price this can become profitable!
2 grams is a nice hustle.❤

where did you find those circits
Very good 👍👍
Nobody tells you how to get the gold scraps and plated gold .
Just start taking apart electronics, especially old ones, you'll quickly learn
At best $35 of gold if it was worth your time/supplies. Good chemistry though.
Matthew Suffidy it’s $40-45 for a gram of 24k gold he got about 80-90 dollars. The nitric acid is the only real expensive part

People be aware; This is gold plated and not solid gold. Before you are going to start; It doesn't make you rich.
good explaination
will it work without urea
Thanks for that video.

do you know how to inquart the gold if you do i want to give you some business
What?

Inquarting is easy. Just add silver in about a 3 to 1 ratio. Cornflake the gold/silver alloy. Disolve silver in dilute nitric
