I stopped wasting my hard earned money on gold filled scrap to refine . Now I'm strictly just buying solid gold to refine best decision I made. First best decision was to follow your channel
I don’t understand why you want to refine solid gold, can you give me a quick explanation? New to all this stuff.I understand why you’d do that to the unpure stuff. Thanks,
Thank you very much I found the video that shows the calculation of gold for purification is extremely useful I already watched the video that shows the calculation and I can do the calculation without problem thank you the video that explains the calculation was posted on February 6, 2023
Every video gets better and better, I love what you do, and how you explain it in simple terms. It's very relaxing to watch and super exciting to see the end results, thank you!
I love your videos, Sreetips! I can recite by memory all of the gold and silver refining steps using inquartation and aqua Regia. You really opened my eyes to other methods.
For starters I’m a big fan! It’s nice to have a channel that presents everything in an honest and intelligent fashion. Not a fan of the short clips. Thanks.
This is the series I was hoping for! I'd like to do electrolytic purification of my forthcoming gold, as it requires so much lower total volumes of reagents, and thus much less waste. Electricity is DIRT CHEAP where I live, so it'll be VASTLY more cost-effective too.
Seeing the state of the sleeves and cuffs of your shirt reminds me of when I used to work in the electroplating industry, mine looked exactly the same 😆
I love your videos and thank you for doing this process. I think the growing of silver crystals in the electrolytic cell is a beautiful process and was wondering if you could do the same for gold. I will be looking forward to the watch this process, seeing the growth over several days, the final yield and length of the metallic crystals. I have seen natural formations of gold crystals, which are beautiful, and eager to see the final results. Thank you for enquarting (sp?) chemistry with art!
when i get caught up with life i will start, but will be hard to back track over the period to find the steps that you proven was more effective, but can't wait excited to pass on to the next generation thanks for the videos watch soon as i see it , always on the top row of my views to see because i watch mutliple times when bored =)
That shirt..man.🤣 Those sleeves have seen some hard work. I've watched the threads come apart for a nice while now. Love your videos, sir. I learn a lot from you. Thank you.
Hello Mrs and Mr sreetips. A big thanks to Mrs sreetips who provide Mr sreetips whit muth gold, so whe can enjoy this canal 🌹. Whis everybody a nice day. Arne
Hi Mr.Sreetips. Thank you for your content you make. I have been watching your channel for probably 4 years mabe even more it feels like and Im very glad I found your channel. I was wondering if you will ever make a video of all the equipment you use to film and how your setup works and looks??? I think it would make for a interesting video. I want to start a cooking channel😅 and it would be informative to see your setup.Hope you get time to make a video on this topic if you want to and when you have the time one day.Hope you have a great day and thank you.👍
@@lvstofly I would be interested in it too. But I think he'd probably have to seal it some way to prevent leakage during shipping. I think an amount containing exactly one gram of gold would be a good standard. And if it were concentrated to the deep orange color, it would be amazing!
Hello Sreetips I think You could reduce amount of copper on the sterling silver by sulphuric acid pickle before loading the anode basket, thus reducing copper contamination of the nitrate, regards George
Mindblowm 🤯 I wanna take gold from scrap circuits n stuff too 🙂 I don't know how, and I don't want to die trying to figure it out the hard way, so I've been watching videos like yours.
@@MrThorp1 Cool I'll have to try to find it if I get impatient lol. Yea I imagine they don't get as big and spikey but still looking forward to the "growing gold" bit of it.
Great video! I was hoping that someday you will make the electrolytic gold cell, but no so soon! Also, I'm a little worried that the titanium cathode will not work as expected, that's because titanium is way higher in the electrochemical series of metals, meaning you would need to supply additional voltage to force the gold in solution to precipitate in the titanium cathode, besides that, that electrolyte looks pretty good! I can't wait to see your next video, I'm sure you will get some shinny gold crystals for sure!
I'm trying to figure out why sreetips is using a titanium cathode anyway. I thought from his other electrolytic gold refining that the gold precipitate is permanently bonded to the cathode. Why would a titanium cathode be used for precipitating gold?
@@SuperDavidEF I was wondering the same, in his silver cell he uses a stainless steel cathode, maybe gold doesn't bind to titanium because of the titanium oxide layer that forms on its surface in such aggressive solution that prevents metal to metal contact? If that's the case, that possibly applies in the stainless steel cathode too, where the oxide layer is formed by the Chromium and prevents the silver from strongly binding to the cathode.
It's crazy to me that you can instantly see a change in the metal and the color of the nitric acid when you pour the used nitric onto the metal the first time.
I bought all equipment and glassware on eBay accumulated as I needed it. Consumables mostly HCl, nitric, a little sulfuric, and some SMB. That’s about it.
How do you decide what watches are worth buying to refine for gold; to try an maintain a profit? Been loving your videos and am just about setup with a fumehood. Then I can start to refine. Thank you for making these videos.
We go to yard sales and estate sales. We find junk jewelry and often there are karat gold and gold filled watches for a few bucks. So we buy them. But you must get up early and be there first or the hood stuff will be long gone.
@sreetips Thank you! What time would you say is a good time to show up and how do you find the different garage and estate sells? Figure I could just drive around but I figure there's gotta be a more efficient way.
I agree with those above that are excited to see this in action! I would love to see a video about your melting set up, where do you use propane vs. aceteline. Would be very interesting. Let me know if you've already covered this!
Question from someone with no experience, just thinking about a step in terms of physics. After SMB precipitation, you allow the solids to settle at room temp (depending on exothermic effect on temp). Would instead boiling the precipitant gold settle the solids better owing to decreased density of the liquid? Could this reduce waste from pouring off? I almost hate to ask this question, because I find the waste container refining vids incredibly satisfying.😂
Great video , I guess if you have a lot of money and time , but for me , bust ,crush , smelt ,then remove ,gold from silver , this will help for that part , and for purifying , my family members have perfected this in the old days you might of heard of Englehardt gold .
ow awesome awesome awesome, I've been thinking about the Gold cell lately. I do notice you pass one of the parameters. Current density. 125 Amps per square foot. I'd converse that to metric to do math with that.
If your process can make a profit, all you need is the first batch. Otherwise you can keep it, and you're basically just putting money in the bank at interest rate = inflation.
Re: the anode bar, you need some sort of plastic clip or band to hold the anode bar firmly to the basket of shot, so that as the level drops firm contact is made. That should then require less observation and adjustment.
For four years in chemistry class, I had to keep a lab journal and keep all the rules of lab journaling lest I get a failing lab grade. Do you keep a journal too? Comes in handy when yields don't go as expected up or down, and so another person can repeat the experiment. By the way, pleased to say, my yields were always close to expected or sometimes better. Creoles are by nature good cooks. 😊

I love this channel. Incredibly interesting. Can you share if you actually make money on this or is it more of a hobby? Keep up the great content. I am hooked.
I’m confused as to why you added silver but then took it back out? Also as to why you made that last gold solution when you were happy with it already? I’m totally new to all this stuff. Cool gadgets and set up! And great videography 👍🏼
Excellent video as always sir! I have a question for us UK folk, we have a law that prohibits us from buying acids covered by an EPP licence (Explosives, Pre-cursors and Poisons) and this includes hardware store products which might contain Nitric and Sulphuric acids. It's also illegal to synthesize these products without an EPP licence, so do you (or any of your followers) have work-around solutions for this? Much appreciation for your work Sreetips!
Sodium chlorite and 25% or higher acetic acid can also dissolve gold. Use copper for inquartation and hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid or make an anode from inquarted gold and acetic acid or copper sulfate electrolyte. Then the copper plates out while the gold produces anode slime which is mostly gold and pgms.
@@sreetips have you tried doing a type of electrochemical gold refining technique where you actually use copper sulfate as the electrolyte and use inquarted gold as the anode and titanium/graphite cathode where you would collect silver and base metals on the cathode and gold would form anode slime that settles at the bottom. this may also be relevant for the OP from the UK where if he can get copper sulfate then he can use this to refine jewelry scrap and later on use either type of aqua regia. HCl and peroxide or HCl and chlorite/chlorate. despite chlorate being banned its so easy to make that anyone can do it and is a great alternative to nitric acid for an oxidizer.
@@sreetips much appreciated Chief :) Luckily no such restrictions exist for HCl or peroxide 3%. I'm also very intrigued by the other comments on copper sulphate, so might give that a bash too.
What is the cost of the process of refining gold/silver? Just wondering how much it adds to the investment cost. Also curious if you are picky with what you melt and what you keep as I would imagine some of the jewelry and chains would hold a higher value in their jewelry form.
Do you know roughly what purity the gold is after the nitric acid step? I'm wondering if high purity wasn't a concern if you could just skip the aqua regia step entirely.
I've left. Other comments before .

I don’t understand why you want to refine solid gold, can you give me a quick explanation? New to all this stuff.I understand why you’d do that to the unpure stuff. Thanks,
By solid gold he probably means karat gold. Gold filled is a thick coating of karat gold over brass.
@@sreetips but why refine karat gold, isn't it already pure?

What is the cost of the process of refining gold/silver?
Just wondering how much it adds to the investment cost.
Also curious if you are picky with what you melt and what you keep as I would imagine some of the jewelry and chains would hold a higher value in their jewelry form.
I’ve never calculated the cost. But at the end of the year we always end up ahead so we’re doing something right.
Another question, I'm in Australia I'm not sure if it matters but how do you get accreditation for your product?
Love your show mate👍👍
You mean assay? I send it off for analysis.
Do you know roughly what purity the gold is after the nitric acid step? I'm wondering if high purity wasn't a concern if you could just skip the aqua regia step entirely.
Probably just above 990 parts per thousand.
