The video about proper methods of gold precipitation was just as entertaining as it was informative. Also I would love to see a video demonstrating fractional distillation. Thanks!
Thank you for your video making this proscess easier, however can you please talk about how to extract gold from gold filled and heavy plated jewelry the easiest way possible?
Do you have any idea how high must be pH level before adding SMB? Is it 5 pH? I´m having a panic now. I lost my gold in aqua regia, just dissolving it with water + I added hydrazine hydrate 98% solution a bit after all. First occured brownish snot in it what dissolved after 15 min. I tested my AR with SnCl2 after "accident "any sign of gold... What do you think, should I correct pH level first (water/HCl) and repeat it again with Hydrazine hydrate 60% or I can use sulfamic acid and try SMB in my AR? It has nice color , clear dark yellow.
My cons have sulfur, prevents SMB from working. Will this process work? Cons in AR warm, increments nitric and HCl till no reaction, filter rinse, back in pot hot to denox add HCl twice then water, stir in zinc filter precip rinse, dry then take precip put in hot HCl 24 hrs, filter rinse real good, then put precip into nitric/water hot 24 hrs filter and melt with oxy/acet torch. Not worried about silver loss, I am after the gold and pgm's. Zinc drops all metals, then HCl soak and Nitric soak to remove all junk metals, but gold and pgm's. Is this process correct?
I've gotten some good info from your videos. You explain things well and you go at a nice pace for taking notes. I was excited to try this poor Man's AR method on some concentrates that I have. But I had to laugh at myself when I realized I was just going to end up with a beaker full of white mushy salts. Hopefully you can give me a couple tips and I can try again. First, I washed my cons in some HCl thinking this would be a good way to get rid of some base metals - then filter and wash Second, I added a couple teaspoons of Sodium Nitrate (Hi-Yield 16-0-0) with about 100ml of HCL - had to heat a bit after an hour because it didn't look like much was happening - then started getting bubbles Let sit overnight Third, filter into beaker and slowly add Sulfamic to de-NOX - very visible roiling on surface and lots of white gas released. This goes on for a long time.....every time I add another 1/2 teaspoon it takes off again. Finally it calms down and no heavy reaction. It does change color from that deep golden to more of a pale yellow. Pale Yellow salts collecting in the bottom of beaker. Fourth, I filter, let set and slowly add SMB. Big reaction with lots of bubbling and fumes. Keeps getting lighter and lighter in color. I think I could keep adding SMB all day. The only thing collecting on the bottom of beakers is light, white fluffy stuff. I am going to keep experimenting with different combinations and steps but wanted to ask a knowledgeable person what the obvious mistake is that I'm making.
i got the same behavior ... white mushy salts seperating to the bottom...maybe this caused by Tap Water? Did you manage to purify your Gold and how you did it?
one of the best video I have seen thank you. If you can be bothered I would love one on refining Catalytic converters and possibly using peroxide. I like in Australian and alot of the chemicals and hard to buy. cheers Tj
+tjsonic11 Thanks I really apreciate you liked my video. Unfurtunatelly I will not make any video about automotive catalytic converters. At least not any soon. The trouble with aoutomotive cats they may contain ZERO Platinum Group Metals. I'm not saying all of them are worhtless, but quite many. So unless somebody is willing to donate me some ammount of automotive cats I will not be bothered with them, becaue I'm afraid I just waste my money (I would have to buy them, since I do not own scrapyard)
thank you for sharing your knowledge. i learned a lot. hope in the future, you could share your knowledge in gold leaching process using safe chemicals like iodine.
after adding smb my solution turned dark red then light green after 10 minutes. yours turned black. i was wondering if my solution had any problem, why it turned dark red? i made test on some rocks to check if they have gold.
Hello my friend I work as an amateur in collecting scrap you beyond the mistakes of leaving my solutions containing all the minerals and deposits all contain recycled What is the best way to re-repeating the process successfully and easy ways uncomplicated and thank you for your wonderful videos and information
Hi Boris. I tried your instructions, very good video. After the initial reaction the contents turned very dark green, almost black not tea colored. I have not de-nitrified it yet and it's been 3 days. Did I do anything wrong or should I just continue the process? I used HCl 35% and potassium nitrate. Please help.
It's probably dissolved a lot of copper as well as gold.... Thats where the green colour comes from...... Notice at the end of the video the gold has settled at the bottom and the liquid solution is blue?? It''s blue because of the copper left in the solution. It shouldn't affect you too much... Keep going.
@@94981745 Hopefully you get back to me soon. I have ore thats very heavy in sulfur. I first done AR then zinc, then remove the zinc and got 1 gram of gold from 5 lbs of cons. I was told to do AR, filter, then add copper to the liquid leave sit and the precious metals will precipitate, then take this and go back to AR. I have a white sticking to the pipe looks like calcium. I cant find any help on this and am in the middle of doing this. I understand I need to do this to get the metals away from the sulfur first. Will this way of process work? Thanks
If doing terminals from blood test its easier to use actual nitric acid/ muriatic acid combinations and watch sreetips youtube videos on refining circuit board fingers. Been nerding out on this stuff for months,
Thank's for video's. My question is: can I use caustic soda to neutralize nitric acid? And can I use kalium meta bi sulfate to precipitate gold? Thank you for your answer.
Yes hi so I have ran about 6 batches of gold on circuit board s so I have 6 jars of green solution now I know there's gold in the solution now do I put the sodium metabisulfite and how much do I use and do I use hot water please get back to me thank you
Now I'm confused because I have watched bunch of refining videos and they all use nitric acid to dissolve copper and base metal. So wouldn't this still be a mixture of whatever it was to begin with? They use hydrochloric and claim the hydrochloric will only dissolve the gold and not copper..
I wonder if you could do a video on how to make (karat) gold electroplating solution in the neighborhood of 10k-18k but without potassium cyanide or any form of cyanide preferably. I need to do some electroplating but I definitely don't want to do it in 24k and it would be awesome if it could be done without leveraging an impregnated solution as much as using donor gold as soluble anode because I have the donor gold (and it could become an anode in less than 10 minutes). I could make a donation to your Channel or something like that for incentive or be eternally grateful as I'm unemployed and on a very tight budget but I can easily handle a 10 or 20 dollar donation if need be.
Hi Boris, great vodeos, hoping you can help. I managed to dissolve the gold in poor mans ar with magnesium nitrate. Looked good. I then tried sodium matabisulPHATE, which reacted but did not precipitate anything. I tried other amounts, no good. I then tried with sodium metabisulPHITE, but there is no reaction at all. Should I try again with sulphate or sulphite and do something different?
Nice video if you had no idea how much gold to expect could you add smb a little at a time and keep doing stannous test in solution thanks for the video
I'd also like to know this, I'd prefer SMB rather... Only reason I haven't done my gold refining is cause I don't know how much is in my small raw bar.
I like the video. Very informative. Thank you for the information. You said any type of nitrate would work? What about Potassium Nitrate? Same concept?
Hello... Thank you very much for producing what appears to be the most practical and economically methods in the fine art of Gold Recovery. Question I have is: May I use Baking Soda to Neutralize this acid solution?
If you mean neutralize extra nitric acid before precipitating the gold then no. This will cause base metals to fall out of solution in the form of carbonates and hydroxides and would contaminate your gold. You could try to filter these out then precipitate the gold but this is not advised. If you mean to neutralize the waste solution after any precious metals have been recovered then sure. I usually a good idea to removed all dissolved metals before dumping out any waste solution.
Also to precipitate gold with sodium metabisulfite you need HCL in the solution. SMB reacts with hydrochloric acid to make SO2 gas, this gas is what then causes gold to precipitate out. As baking soda will neutralize both hydrochloric acid and nitric acid it can't be used to neutralize extra nitric acid present before dropping out gold.
Evaporate to syrup and rehydrate with hydrochloric acid will rid the solution of excess nitric acid. Or you can just add extra sodium metabisulfite (SMB) until all the gold comes down and stays down.

Can somebody please give me a list of things that I could get at local stores to do this? I have so much gold and all of it is different. He's I have 10K 14k 18K 24K. But I would like to make it all as close to the same and highest Purity possible. And then I have an idea for a mold I would like to make my own gold plaque with our family name on it and frame it. I have about 10 oz totaled. I am okay with losing some of the weight in refining this but I cannot seem to find any clear videos that tell me exactly what I need and where I can get it. Once I find out I might even make a video so that there is a clear video out there on this so other people can find it easier. Thank you in advance

The water bottle that you put the glove fingers. Can you add some baking soda to help dilute any aqua regia residue? Or is it not needed.
A few years late, but that plastic you have on your table, I pulled the same one out of a monitor. Just wild I was able to notice that.
Likewise. As well the other sheets are great for random projects/art.

What is the material you’re using as table top?
Boris, here I am watching your old videos again. Would love to see what you are working on these days old friend.
So can I take all the placer gold that I have panned and refine it to a pure state this way?
nice video..can u write what chemicals u use in process ?? what is s m b on end ? ,what salt u use on beginning ? magnesium chloride ? thanks
I didn’t know you could use other nitrates.

In 100 ml HCl how much kno3 will be good
Like your style except when you are adding , 1to 1 or 1 to 3 is that bye wate or by vallum .

How do you get any silver out of solution if its there?
jonrms use ammonia
Add copper and aerate and it cement out of the solution onto the copper
Silver dissolves just fine in aqua regia. In fact, it will dissolve in just nitric acid. You need to rethink what you are doing here.
> has gold
>cant afford aqua regia
Ammonium nitrate can go boooom!
Good reason to not use it unless you absolutely have to.
is there anything you can replace for the salfamic acid
Evaporate to syrup and rehydrate with hydrochloric acid will rid the solution of excess nitric acid. Or you can just add extra sodium metabisulfite (SMB) until all the gold comes down and stays down.
@@sreetips just a question, would bubbling so2 work?
You can dissolve it with glycine.
