      @@BuildingCenter it's because neither the chemistry nor the clean up are inherently interesting, if you were watching someone do the same experiments as Nile, but they did it perfectly each time and always did it in a monotone voice, it wouldn't be an interesting video. Clean-up of chemical waste is typically pretty boring. Nile is able to make it interesting by doing the projects in an engaging way where you can see that he is excited to do a lot of the stuff

    Like others who have already commented, I really appreciate that you take the time to document the waste cleanup step. No job in the lab in ever complete until the equipment is clean and ready for the next procedure. For the aspiring scientist, it is every bit as important to learn as any other lab procedure. During my time as a student, I had a very particular conversation with our department chair about how useful I thought it would be if the university offered a class, required or elective, on general laboratory procedures. It seemed to me that both biology and chemistry labs failed to teach general and common lab procedures, especially good waste management, and focused to narrowly on the applied lesson itself. Not wanting to take away from that primary purpose, I thought the best thing was to have a separate class that covered these issues. He was seemingly positive about the idea, but nothing ever came of it. I would have been one of the first to sign up to take the class. To this day, I don't think a single undergraduate from our chemistry or biology departments experience even a single lab session devoted to properly identifying lab waste hazards and how to correctly neutralize them as part of lab cleanup. Thank you for going the extra mile!

      The material in question is ferro fluid, an oily suspension of iron based nano particles.
      Ferro is short for ferrous which means containing iron.
      The iron in the fluid is attracted to magnetic fields, and tends to align itself with the lines of a magnetic field to produce beautiful spiked shapes.
      He explains in this video how he dealt with the waste from his experimentation and the process of cleaning his glassware.
      In the glass washing part, he removed the oil with soap, and reacted the remaining iron with a chlorine based acid to produce iron III chloride, a salt that dissolves in water.
      I hope that helps.

    When my dad washed his glassware from making magnetite, he would pour a bit of hydrochloric acid into the containers, and leave them overnight. In the morning, the HCl fumes would have permeated into any adhered iron oxides and gotten them loosened or dissolved so that a quick rinse was all it took to get the FeCl out.

    You do a lot of clean up videos, and just as well do most other chemistry channels.

I imagine that might be worth more time and effort than the return would be, but would make for an interesting video.
