After the manganese heptoxide video on NileRed, I had a lot of manganese and acid waste that I had to deal with. I initially planned to be done after isolating the waste, but as the last minute, I decided to try melting it. I don't consider that to be part of the waste processing though, and it's more of an experiment on its own. In general, I don't recommend heating waste because it can sometimes be dangerous and it can also generate toxic fumes.

Shouldn't a cleanup channel be called "NileGreen"?
@Amo Rise You do realize this is already a second channel, right?

DaytimeRider wow nice joke, haven’t heard that one before
DaytimeRider Oh shut up, that has got to be one of the worst sjw jokes i have ever seen.

I love how every waste disposal video I've seen here so far has ended with "this would be the end, but I got curious..."
Thats whats science is all about
@@AllanRoberto2711 underrated comment, absolutely
And I started burning shit
You should do a video on your waste drawer.
How big is it.
Whats the worst in it.
What happens if certain stuff inside mixed.
How would a company deal with it.
How much would the company charge.
How you could dispose of it yourself.
Edit: You could do an entire series of industrial chemistry and the waste produced plus how its dealt with. It Would be a lot of content for you and it would be like the show How Its Made but the chemical side of manufacturing.
Definitely 👍
@@a.........1._.2..__..._.....__ Yeah like Cody'sLab
@@a.........1._.2..__..._.....__ there are no regulations for that kind of thing because he is doing it for private and/or educational reason. Dont make up stuff
@@DiscoDevil197 this may not be considered private anymore considering he does make money off of these videos.
Also I'm fairly certain that even if it's not created as part of a business, you can't just dispose of waste willy nilly
@@hmmhm6620 Cody's lab was never shut down, they just came to make sure he did not have a fissible quantity of materials.
Your allowed to teach anything except how to build a atom bomb, at least in the U.S.A.
I think that a series of 'Nile Red Cleanup' Would be extremely interesting. Would absolutely watch each of them.
Same
Me too
Yup, absolutely
I think this would be equally valuable in itself as this channel has already been.
B0BBYL33J0RD4N Or a channel for clean up
“NileClean”
“NileGreen”
“NileWaste”

I don't know which hit me funnier... the band-aids, or "ACID"
@@EdStarwind I didn't even notice the band-aids, I was too distracted by the "ACID."
@@EdStarwind lol
This video is already on the Wikipedia page for manganese heptoxide not even 3 hours after uploading lmao
Whoa
I’m not all that surprised. Nile is kinda an authority on all things amateur chemistry, and this is quite informative and a great starting place for anyone interested in manganese heptoxide.
@@thermophile2106 Yeah. I think the RUclips Trinity of this is Nile, Cody and Nurdrage.
Thoisoi2 is an honorable mention only, because he deals with elements mostly, which is a bit different.
What is really sad in a way is that they can actually teach better than most university and high school teachers...
@@Dinnye01 they've removed it already. Very obvious why - amateur chemistry has no place in Wikipedia.
Edit: on further inspection, the user who made that edit in the first place, mlgbrian, seems to be a fucking kid.
In a way I feel like dealing with the waste is the more important part of the chemistry videos.
pour it over your neigbhors garden
@@RagbagMcShag and enjoy being arrested
@@Gkokkinakis2 Pour it over the neighbor then :P
Definitely
One needs to learn how to dispose of the waste or how to make it more manageable
Some years ago I made experiments with copper sulfate, and after that I stored everything
Didn't use them for very long, so wanted to dispose the CuSO4 waste, but it was very dangerous to just pour it into the sink or to the ground, and it took me quite a while to finally find out a method
Having a place where to see that information is extremely important
@@EriCLion-rt7sz and you wont tell us how you disposed of it?
"In a few decades, I'll have to pay a company to deal with the waste I've created."
Will you be laughing maniacally as lightning arcs in the background like a proper mad scientist at that stage?
OMG I JUST PICTURED THAT IN MY HEAD AND DNCOVSFKLBMSOJDFAUIH
In the next few months to year we hit the second great depression, he'll be broke as the rest of us will be, so the lab will be abandoned and his waste will just remain in whatever drawer or cabinet... sitting there waiting... for hungry vagrants to see if there's anything of value..... they'll just see a bunch of weird stuff.
And there it will sit... for about a decade or so, if not much longer.
@@jmitterii2 Well thankfully he is canadian :)
@akumma Not sure if you've actually dealt with chemical waste outside an educational institute before, but it can be quite expensive and time consuming, especially here in Canada, as long as the waste is stable and stored in a manner in where it's inert it doesn't financially make sense to deal with it one experiment at a time.
Proper.
Hah ha
“In a couple decades” fun to know he’s planning on just doing this for the rest of his life
he gets to be a mad scientist for a living. i feel like everything else is a bit of a downgrade
@@tellmeemoar8357 all that's left is a villain backstory, and a theme song or a jingle.
@Bob Saget
He surely knows what he's doing, at least he's not some random backyard scientist that doesn't care about the enviroment or himself.
Him having a BS degree in biochemistry and being a lab tech for a few years, I guess he's absolutely safer than anyone of us could ever be, with a proper lab.

Turns out "NileBlue" was the name of the scientist and not the monster.
I think it's really cool that you're making these videos. Could you take it a step further and explain WHY some steps are necessary? And what you're trying to accomplish by then end? (ie: what would be considered "safe" and why). And what do you do with the compounds that you simply can't deal with? Who disposes of them? What kind of services do you need access to to deal with it?
the main goal is to make things environmentally friendly so he can pour it down the drain or through it in a trash bin but when this isn't possibly he just wants to get everything to a solid from and compact it as much as possible to make it easier to store.
The clean up is actually the most fascinating part of this channel imo, the world needs more green chemistry and I love learning anything about it I can.
3:27 "After several minutes, the colour started changing and it became kind of brown, so I swapped it for a nicer, white background" Lol
r/unexpectedracism
Naked Squirtle how? all he did was change the background because the liquid was turning brown, and a white background would be easier to see it with
abby maybe idk people keep joking by saying dumb stuff
@@AEZAKM1 I dunno, people keep joking by naming themselves after cheats in GTA San Andreas.
Gustavo6046 b r u h how dare you
I forgot this was a GTA cheat
I like to imagine the waste liquid was synthetic pee you accidentally made
Lol seth?? Can huelp my channel
Sure
I feel like a lot of chemists these days have lost the sort of alchemical curiosity of "what happens if I mix these? What if I heat it? What can I do to what's left over? What colour does it turn? What does it smell like? What does it sound like? What is actually happening here and what am I left with?"
I appreciate this, a lot.
It's not so much that curiosity was lost, but that most of the answers are already known / are predictable by an experienced chemist/chemistry student
@@louiesatterwhite3885 And also, mixing random chemicals could be dangerous
I remember when I was a kid and had that exact mindset. I was mixing random bathroom chemicals and accidentally made chloramine vapor from mixing a bathroom cleaner with bleach and a cleaner with ammonia. I could've permanently damaged my lungs or died. I felt uncomfortable, a little sick, and left the room. After explaining what I did my parents explained that I made a deadly gas. I think the modern method of being safe rather than sorry is a much better plan.
Lost in the same way you lose an std, maybe. People know more and better nowadays.
@@louiesatterwhite3885 Almost everytime yes, but discoveries have been made by accident. A part of high temperature supraconductors research is still "let's try to mix these and see what happen"
Hypothetically speaking:
If someone were to attempt some of the less dangerous experiments you preform having a companion cleanup video around makes a heck of a lot of sense. While they still should not attempt any sort of complex chemistry without understanding at least some of the mechanisms at play in the reaction, some will inevitably choose to anyway. With these companion videos you are giving those individuals the ability to be more responsible with any hazardous waste they may generate through their ill advised experimentation, as well as teaching them why these steps matter.
Did you watch the video? He literally puts all his waste in a drawer and leaves it.
@@JBroMCMXCI It's a little more complex than that. He makes sure to note down what it is and where it came from, keeps them in baggies to prevent mixture, and will eventually have to pay professionals to take care of it. That's not just simply throwing it in a drawer with no plan. Though I see how this would not be a solution for random people doing it, as they may just decide to dispose of it irresponsibly anyhow.
I’m just neutralising it and chucking it into my neighbors garden
@@shrekaz4820 The majority on my waste ends up in my own garden. If I don't boil it off or burn it.
The stuff in my waste containers is mostly the nasty stuff, like chromium, mercury, or copper wastes that I haven't had time to treat.
Wayne Moore to eat, you mean.
I love how you include your mistakes/regrets/uncertainties in the videos. It makes me feel better about when I do the same in chem lab
6:16 Welcome to NileASMR
That's what I was thinking lmao
lol same
2:50 "I'm not entirely sure, though, what exactly was causing the color."
...says the guy who effortlessly describes complex multivariate reactions that are 12 levels beyond the rest of us
Same guy that names the gasses just by their color...
it's actually quite easy when you've studied it like him, im in chem 30 and i got a fair amount of what he was saying
Finally! All this time I've been living with these vats of manganese heptoxide under my bed, now I know what to do with it!
I love how casually he says "I just dropped them into my acid bath"
“It’s not a good idea to burn waste”
*Does it anyway*
NileBlue: to be safe, I’m going to put this waste in a bag and store it in my waste container.
NileRed: LeT’s BlAsT iT wItH a BlOw ToRcH.
I really appreciate that you reuse the remnants of your experiments as much as possible and handle the disposal responsibly! I have experienced some hobby chemists who simply leave any leftovers in the drain or household garbage. Thank you!
*When mom discovers your waste drawer*
A fascinating aspect for me is how you commit steps to get the toxic ions into insoluble forms/states. Really reminds me that ion chemistry is integral to life.
"The yellow colour kinda threw me off"
Explosions&Fire: i feel you
The clean up procedures are just as interesting to me as the original experiments. Thanks for posting these and do please continue in future.
The cleanup is still cool because from our perspective you’re still doing chemistry. I find it fascinating but it’s too tedious for me to enjoy doing it. Watching you do it, on the other hand, is the perfect medium of ease and fascination.
Uyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I like how your waste management is the same approach I take for managing my mental health. Keep adding to it and eventually pay a professional to help deal with it in about 10 years.
His vision : chemicals.
My vision : brown water.
The good thing about documenting your waste clean up on RUclips is that when you have 2 decades worth of waste bags, this is a reference page as to what may be in them, if your notes aren't as complete as youd like
You should get an x-ray spectrometer like Cody'sLab has, you can use that to examine your waste and determine what's in it then potentially purify everything into usable chemicals.
Look up how much those things cost
XRF guns don't cover organic compounds or light elements. That severely limits the usefulness for identification of chemistry wastes.
FYI cody'slab had to give back the XRF gun he was borrowing and currently does not have access to one.
@@askquestionstrythings that's disappointing, are there any sort of easily portable spectrometers that would be more helpful for chemistry particularly organic chemistry?
@@bagochips834 as far as I'm aware there is nothing currently that's in the realm of portable for identification with organic chemistry.
This article talks about some of the other techniques that chemists use and why light elements are different. www.thermofisher.com/blog/mining/another-option-for-light-element-analysis/
I really like these cleanup videos, glad to hear you're planning on doing more of them!
Nile blue makes me so happy to see! Thank you for all the effort
yes - team clean up! thanks for listening!
This series would be extremely interesting. I'd love to see the aftermath cleanup of the reactions from NileRed. Show us what you currently have in the waste drawer too please! :)
Thank you, these videos are pretty much just as valuable as the actual synthesis.
Thanks for every cleanup video! Most chemists don't bother providing their cleanup process, but it is very important to know for amateurs who can't afford commercial waste management.
4:57 looks like the last time i tried to bake muffins
🤣
Even your second channel has really high quality.
Dylans17 I think he just makes the videos and then decides which channel to put it on.
Probably the best manganese heptoxide cleanup video I've seen this week.
7:14 Nah mate, you just need a shovel and some dirt
Love that you’re doing this, waste cleanup is one of the most important parts of lab work, unfortunately it is often looked over and forgotten.
Why bother, just put it down the drain!
@@dima.jiharev Gonna assume thats a joke lol
@@lilbacon7777 of course it's a joke 😄. But what would happen in case this mess really goes into the sewers with water?
JUST POUR EVERYTHING IN THE TOILET LMAO
6:18 cool down with that asmr nile lol
I would love to see the cleanup process of your projects, I thinks it’s pretty cool to see what you do with all the leftover stuff
The fact that someone just knows how to do this stuff is amazing
can we see a waste drawer tour❔👀
Good way to start my day
There is something very satisfying about watching you deal with waste. Love watching them
Yeahyae!
Glad to see you’re being responsible with the waste!
Yes we still very much like the cleanup stuff
0:40 belongs on r/suspiciousquotes haha
Also on a serious note I also love watching the cleanup, it's very informative!
DANGER
""""ACID""""
Yeah, those quotes around acid are rather curious.
Maybe its LSD? Hehe
Like the production values it's nice to see from beginning to end I remember cleaning up was 50% of my duties when working in a laboratory.
i definitely like watching how you clean all your tools!
Funnily enough, ascorbic acid worked incredibly well for me to clean off any manganese dioxide stains in the past. After that you just as bicarbonate to precipitate Mn salts and ur done
The solid chunk you had at the end would probably be polymerized aniline with salts trapped inside.
I think I enjoy your cleanup attempts more than the actual procedure.
I have no idea what he is doing. But I’m learning cool random facts and I like seeing the process of someone’s passion. It’s dope
while scrolling through recommendations, I thought the thumbnail I thought this was some beef dish with egg on top
5:11 It looked like you ate that :)
i could take nilereds voice and just listen to it all day
I appreciate ur video. Glad to see that u r a responsible person
I thought “hehe piss” when I saw the color and wouldn’t you know it
Aren't iron compounds a common contaminant in Manganese products? Maybe ferric chloride was what was causing the the yellow-ish colour in the waste solution?
I'd be totally for videos about dealing with waste. It wouldn't be as interesting on the surface, but I'm here because I like watching how you extract compounds and make solutions. The project is basically just the vehicle to me.
Love this channel, was shocked to see the amount of subs, you deserve so much more :)
"ACID" ?
Fake acid
Yes acid, not sulfuric acid though
Don't try to hide it...

1:12 wait, you just threw the glass pipettes away? Why? You can clean and reuse them...
My guess is that there's a chance that the heat from the reactions damaged the glass, and he doesn't want to risk them breaking during an experiment.
@@Oddi0 This. And glass pipettes like that are dirt cheap (some kinds are $100 USD for 1000 of them).
