    My wife can't understand why I keep watching these videos. (Being honest, I am on a bit of a binge watching spree, as I am fairly new here) According to her, the videos are all the same thing😂😂😂. This here is my drama and romance fix. Drama with these darned platinum group metals is always like a bad guy following the gold around, and the romance part is when our hero, Mr. Sreetips saves the damsel in distress, our beloved gold.

    Sreetips, for the longest time I've tried to figure out how boiling the gold solution after it's been precipitated aids in it settling to the bottom. I feel pretty foolish for not figuring it out the first time you did this. It's because by boiling the solution after precipitation, you decrease the buoyancy of the gold. First intuition would be that it would stir up the solution more, agitating it but instead, it does the complete opposite.

  • @fredrichardson9761
    @fredrichardson9761 Месяц назад

    This is a great video - you're recovery process seems very smooth to me (although I'm no one to judge 😂). I think the recover rate of grams gold per gram sweepings is 0.137 or so. If I got that right, then I think when the jeweler hits around 230g of sweepings he should send them to you so you can try and recover a troy ounce of gold from them 😁 Again, great video!

    I habe that same cheap burner, and it is a pain because it works on a timer, not adjust rhe current to control heat output. So its fully on, then shuts off, and the duration of the off on cycles depend on the dial setting. It makes moderating delicate processes needlessly difficult.

    • @brett76544
      @brett76544 Месяц назад +2

      1. Look at the chemicals he uses and amounts, maybe 10- 12 bucks.
      2. equipment depreciation
      A glass ware, say 10 years
      B compressors say over 10 years, but watch the video he did on it, I think twice.
      C Hood, and the fan has to go every once in a while. So fan 5 years maybe and hood over 10.
      D Other buckets, fish tank pump and tubing.
      E Crucibles, he has a box full of them, but how many times he can use one is limited
      F other hand tools that can last a while.
      G when he has to change out a clock in the background from effects of the acid gasses in the hood.
      H heaters, can only last so long in the hoods, not sure, but maybe 2 or 3 years for one.
      3. fuel being the little propane tanks and gas for the torch.
      4. electric for the equipment and lights.
      5. PPE, glasses, mask, mask filters (can depend on specific chemicals), gloves, old shirt for splash protection, thermal gloves.
      Total cost almost has to be done yearly but remember he does not do this every day. Then again, I kind of see this a little differently from most people from doing asset management and finance with water and sewer systems. Try figuring out just how much it costs to treat one gallon at a sewer plant for the year. Then how much it costs to collect it to the plant.

    It would be interesting to see if treating the solids with sulfuric acid helps with removing the junk before recovering the silver with nitric acid.
    Sulfuric acid is great for cleaning up polishing compounds. You still need to incinerate the material. It drives off the carbon as CO2.

    hello I am a jeweler . I have 800 grams of clean bench filings . would you want to refine my bench sweeps? I have been in business for 30 years . I have used Ishore reefing system did not like it . I have been taken advantage of refiners for years they take 7% on solid scrap to 40% on polishings and bench sweeps ..thank you DAN

      Dan, unfortunately I don’t do any toll refining. This is my hobby. I only work on material that my wife and I find at local sales. I did jewelers scrap because I worked in his shop four years. He’s my friend. I do it for free. In return, I get to work with actual jewelers scraps and make videos of it.

    What does the borax do and why do you use it. Sorry if you have already told us all.

    • @sreetips
      @sreetips  Месяц назад +1

      Without borax the gold would melt and form a whole bunch small gold balls that stay separate. The molten borax causes the gold to flow (flux means flow) together into a central mass.

    Are you a welder? Also, what would happen if you added sodium metabisulphite in a solution containing more metals than just gold? Would it precipitate the other metals as well?

    • @sreetips
      @sreetips  Месяц назад +2

      I’m not a welder, but I have used arc and gas welding before. SMB will precipitate traces of PGMs if present.

    • @williamfoote2888
      @williamfoote2888 Месяц назад +1

      SMB and dissolved gold salts form a redox pair.
      One compound is oxidized, the other compound is reduced.
      SMB goes from +4 sulfur to +6 sulfur and gold goes from +2 gold to 0 (metallic) gold.
      That sort of reaction works for metals like gold or metals more noble than gold, like the PGMs, so it’s pretty specific.
      There is a more or less ‘universal’ metal reductant ‘sodium borohydride’ that’d precipitate every metal to the right of column II on the periodic table.

      @@williamfoote2888 so is it possible that someone could save time dissolving all metals at once and then adding the SMB into the solution then refining the gold that precipitated afterwards?

    • @sreetips
      @sreetips  Месяц назад

      Calvin, that’s what I did. The SMB won’t drop all the PGMs, just traces. So I do a second refining and those PGMs will be gone, usually. If they persist then I’ll use ferrous sulfate. Then, only the gold will precipitate.

      It’s called Kitco Scrapit but it has a flaw; you must remember to tap “update gold price” before getting the correct read. You’d think it would do this automatically. If I forget, it will use the price on what ever it was last time. It’s just another thing to have to remember to do and increases the likelihood that you end up either paying too much, or not enough.

    • @fieldie
      @fieldie Месяц назад

      @sreetips I have a little question/suggestion if you're willing to try it out... when you rince off the gold, and you pour off the rince water or acid, and a little of the fine particles of gold still suspended that hasn't settled yet gets poured off, what do you think on pouring them rinces through a filter to catch all that gold, to try for a true 100% recovery of the gold for maximum yield! Because after a few refines that pour off builds up and you can see there's lots in there. Orrrr is that the point, and so you then can make a video at a later date about getting that gold??

    • @fieldie
      @fieldie Месяц назад

      I'd love to see a video where you meticulously try everythig torevover absolutely every single particle of gold, so use a new melt dish, collect every bit in there, make sure there's no splatter of gold if pouring into water, filter rinces, black blah blah but yeh every point where you could lose a micron, you have covered. A LOT of work, but it could be a cool video. Hey, you may even like doing a certain way differently!?
