    Id be interested to see if you find the piranha treatment to be worthwhile for the filter paper refining? That would potentially save some incineration time, and just filter paper can go super fast in piranha. For this refining, maybe it generates too much waste to be worth it, but idk, I still support the use of piranha elsewhere if it makes economical sense and you think you wouldn’t mind

      Yes, there are many reactions that occur and some of them interact or interfere with others. It is generally recommended that a person download a free copy of C. M.

The book contains acquaintance experiments to help familiarize a person with the basic reactions, processes and tests.

  • @digger105337
    @digger105337 Год назад +1

    Because of the Dirty nature of this material, wouldn't a total melt and pour into a Cone mould be more efficient? After the melt, chipping off the slag, leaving you with just the heavy precious metals to chemically refine? I only say that to make it less annoying for you. The slag can be ground up and remelted to get any trace metals, if you're so inclined.
    Not to get off topic but, if you were to use Aquarigia with the sulfuric dose from the start, wouldn't it eliminate all the sludge more quickly, if you stayed with a pure chemical method?
    If not for watching you, I wouldn't have even contrived these questions. Thanks for all you do.

    • @Landogarner83
      @Landogarner83 Год назад

      He needs to start with nitric acid to dissolve and get out any silver that is likely present.
      If he were to use aqua regia from the start then the silver would create an extremely fine dust of silver cloride.
      That dust would clog up any filter and be nearly impossible to get out of the solution with the gold because it is too fine to settle out.

  • @garymyers6638
    @garymyers6638 Год назад

    Everything you scooped up from the bench was either precious metal or polishing compound. The compound is wax with a fine grit. The wax is flammable. The grit, depending on type is either glass or diamond dust, maybe steel. Glass melts before gold or silver. Diamond doesn’t melt and steel melts waaay after gold or silver. It seems to me that you could burn off the wax and set up a staged stack melt and let the gold and silver percolate to the bottom and collect in a pool of glass (flux). Does any of this ring true? Am I way off?

    • @NOFX0890

      Glass melts at 1700°c.

      I think it starts with a T. For the life of me I cant remember it. Someone smart... help me out.
      I think it would be better suited for recovery of lead and tin, but Im certainly no expert.

    • @sreetips
      @sreetips  Год назад +1

      That’s a good one. But incineration does more than just burn away the paper. It converts any tin that may be present to insoluble tin oxide. Then it can be easily filtered out (so I’ve been told). However, after incineration, and before the nitric boil, hitting the incinerated material with piranha solution my help by dissolving the carbon away and removing the solids, making filtering easier.
