@@Hill-13 I can only do this stuff in the summer outdoors and here in Canada it’s hard to get the right acids to do most of this stuff as you need a license to buy nitric acid even the nitrates are hard to get nowadays! I just stack all my silver and gold scrap up and try to recover as much as I can in summer but I haven’t been able to refine yet I’m thinking it’s worth it to send it out to be refined and give some of it as payment to cover costs! Either way I love watching the content and learning about it! CheeRs Brother
Good morning. What is your CuSO4 solution concentration in your first electrolytic cell where you are separating your copper from the alloy? You had mentioned a small amount of H2SO4 and in what concentration was added?
Great video, with plate material do the tin lead and other co metals hang out in the slimes as well? Or do all metals higher on the reactivity series pass to the copper anode? Or do they exchange with the copper electrolyte plating out the copper and making a stanous sulfate solution?
Lead and tin would remain in solution as sulphates not precipitate out. Ion exchange is copper ion and hydrogen ions Any PMG will cement out on the copper cathode
Nice setup. Reminds me of sreetips silvercell. How's the deposit? Solid or crumbly? Please try to use gloves, if only to show viewers safe practice with toxic metal salts. Martijn.
I thought you said 4 v and 1 amp. I'll have to go back and listen again. Also, do you have any the ratio of Copper sulfate to water. (x grams per liter) on your initial electrolyte?
Thanks for subscribing Michael . I think the crystal are tighter with lower V and A. Run the cell with 1.5-5 volts and less than 1 Amp . You can run higher but the crystals get loose and crumbly . Check out gold refining forum when you have a chance .
@@Hill-13 I have done that. I guess I should search there for the amount of Copper sulfate to water on the electrolyte. I may even go with Copper nitrate from a future silver drop. Thanks.
Michael my apologies , Heat distilled water ( the amount needed for your project ) then put your copper sulphate crystals in . I like to super saturate it . Dont forget to add sulphuric acid 25-30 ml/ L to start off . Email me when you start Wrightjeffry@ gmail.com
New Subscriber I seen the silver mail call video Scrapping on the Fly did! I'll be watching up all your videos! Love the CoppeR Brain!
Thanks I need to get that working again I shut it down

@@BushDogScrapper any salt of nitrate and sulfuric acid will do
Potassium nitrate / sodium nitrate + drain cleaner = HNO3
@@Hill-13 good to know thanks Brother!
So awesome to see man! I hope I still get some Friday video stuff 😂
Always bro make up something send in asap
Good morning. What is your CuSO4 solution concentration in your first electrolytic cell where you are separating your copper from the alloy? You had mentioned a small amount of H2SO4 and in what concentration was added?
I do 10-20 ml of HSO4 / 1L of CuHSO4 , and try to maintain a pH of 1-2 in the solution .
Great video, with plate material do the tin lead and other co metals hang out in the slimes as well? Or do all metals higher on the reactivity series pass to the copper anode? Or do they exchange with the copper electrolyte plating out the copper and making a stanous sulfate solution?

Great video brother, I’d love to get in to gold and silver recovery but to many chemicals involved for me.
Thanks I’m trying to just get them out there , I need to work on making better quality videos ,
awesome tutorial bro !!
Appreciate it!

Martijn.
The deposit are solid not crumbly current and voltage low
.2-.4 A / 1.2 V
Really busted on the gloves, Two boxes of gloves on order
Thanks

Just subscribed, by the way.

It seems all wrong without the Steetips voice, next vid ya gotta at least imitate it...even just for the opening linea...haha
How does it smell? 🤔
Like CuSO4
