Great well thought out setup many thanks

I’m curious as to why you didn’t do any form of cooling on your distillation apparatus? Also you want to cover everything with aluminum foil or similar to keep the light off the reaction as it breaks down the nitric into a dioxide thus lower yields. The fact you’re seeing fumes in your collection flask means you’re losing yield and it’s not all being converted to an acid.

Have you found a reliable way to recover the nickel metal?

If my first batch didn’t have enough lye , can I use the black first rinse to add more silver and restart the process?

Even though it has a lower boiling point nitric acid has a weird property where a dilute solution of nitric acid and water will distill over mostly water first. A much easier way is to evaporate the copper nitrate down to crystals before adding your sulfuric acid. This way you get much stronger nitric with way less effort

There isn’t enough silver in plated material to cover the cost of melting it.

Really like your videos man!! Very informative and well made good job!!!

Would you be interested in teaching this in person?

I can't imagine this is worth doing at any scale. If you're going to collect NO2 gas anyway, why not setup an apparatus for doing it when you're actually refining? You could use a sodium sulfate scrubber instead of just letting it all vent through the fume hood. Or, even better, lose the sodium sulfate and use an ozone bubbler.

Way to know whether you have added enough sulfuric acid to the copper nitrate solution: take a drop of solution, put in small beaker & heat to desiccation. If copper sulfate only, will be white powder. If copper nitrate is left, you will see dark powder (copper oxide from decomposed copper nitrate, you need to add more sulfuric acid).

Your explanations are fantastic, and your lab is very clean! I have been trying to extract nickel from my sulfate solutions for months, but to no avail. I've used platinum mesh anodes (both real and fake, unfortunately), tried converting nickel sulfate to nickel chloride, precipitating out with zinc - and none of them seem to be effective. The only reason I don't precipitate with aluminum is because I haven't found a use for aluminum sulfate. How do you get the nickel out of solution AND keep your sulfuric acid?

So was that powder looking stuff gold this is my first time watching this process very interesting.

I don't understand the last video you made us go through 15 minutes of your video but you never showed how much silver you got from your silver plating

Captain Of The Team... TEAM MORON THAT IS ! But remember it's just, Correct Constructive Criticism. So here is your help. It's a comment. Comments help your channel. More than your ridiculous mouth.

How do i got 300 grams with this process

Does the heat have a low medium and high option

As a professional HVAC technician, and an amateur garage chemist in my free time, I gotta say, that fume hood really needs a new fan motor lol. Great video though, very informative…👍🏻

Could you go over cuS04 to CuNo3 a little bit more I have to much nitric in my solution

Why did you add nitric acid little by little, why not all at once? Is there any special reason for this?

Quality vids! Nice job! If we have an apocalypse. Gold bars will be door stops. Can't eat or drink gold or silver. If you believe people or mobs are going.to be civilized and trade without trying to murder you and take any usefill items you have. You're probably mistaken.

Have you tried to refining rock?

Where did you learn to do all this?

Feels like just yesterday that palladium was double the cost of gold!

Ammonium chloride will precipitate palladium and platinum chatgpt said DMG is not very good if you want to selectively precipitate the 2 metals from each other you have to use heat pd precipitate from a room temperature solution and pt from a hot solution that's according to chatgpt but I have yet to try it

Got all the way to the end and no gold to show for all that work. Sad

Will this be a detailed reclamation processe,I've tried to get someone that would show me a one time process for some of the profit,but havent had any luck,im a hands on learner.looking forward to purchasing your dvd

You have a very nice set up, I was wondering if you created it yourself?

Top notch content… and products. Thank you my friend ….49

Awesome videos, and also a unique silver cell design! I like it! Quick recommendation though, and over time you’ll start to notice why. PGMs are obviously crazy picky, quirky, and just all around strange when dealing with in solution. What I highly recommend is that you take your slimes and make sure to rinse everything until you cannot detect ANY silver nitrate traces or base metals like copper etc. Rinse with hot distilled water stirring well, and allow to settle before decanting. Repeat until you can take a sample of the solution (couple drops) and add hcl to it to check for silver nitrate. Rinse until you get no reaction. 2nd part of this would be to use a Polypropylene fine mesh screen and classify down the slimes as to make sure you don’t have much of any silver metals left behind. You can process these separately in another reaction as like you mentioned, pgms act funny when combined with other metals, especially the sponge we call silver that loves to bring everything with it haha. Keep up the great work, I look forward to each video you put out ! ❤

Can't find those dacron bags anywhere in Australia.

Try sodium nitrate silver forms insoluble silver calories that protects the anode

Do you happen to know the process of electroplating silver onto copper busbars? This seems to be the most scientific channel I have found like could possibly have the answer.👍🏻

Dang looks nice my guy. Truly amazing to watch. Cant wait to get going stacking and hopefully one day doing stuff like this.

Just finding your channel. Loving the content man. Cant wait to get started in any part of metals and such.

Love the videos Anthony and it is great to see your progress. One question; why aren't you running water through the condenser during the nitric distillation?

Nice shell necklace. 👀

I reposted this video with a correction. Thanks for watching everyone!

Cast a anode plate much easier also

Sulfuric cell

Melting is the absolute worst way

Nice bars! Melting crystal is sooo much nicer than melting cement. Those bars are probably 9999 fine or very close to it.

God Bless AT

Conner is here and been looking for another channel besides sreetips!!! He's my dude tho! Love your setup

I must say, very nice videos Sir! It is great to see NurdRage method incorporated into full circular refining economy! I think i will come back to see more :)

Wait this isn’t a vid about Ric Flair and the four horsemen? Dang…. Great information regardless though since I have a couple 5 gal buckets in need lol

there is another way to get pure nitric acid the easiest way .... JUST BUY IT!

Try adding some sulphuric acid to the gold solution before filtering. Helps to precipitate out any lead that might be in solution during filtration.

I stumbled upon gold revovery by watching a Sreetips video where he had a silver cell. I was hooked

Hi Anthony, Am I correct in thinking that sulphuric acid could be added directly into the aqueous copper nitrate solution and that this might save a step as well as yield significantly more nitric acid? This should allow one to reclaim the maximum amount of nitric acid. And, ending with copper sulphate is desirable as it can easily be converted back into pure copper and sulphuric acid using electrolysis. Please let me know if I am overlooking anything. BTW; I am so glad to have found your channel. You are the first person I have seen on TH-cam that has given any consideration to reclaiming acid as well as the various base metals. May God bless you and your family. Fondly, C. Chaos

Excellent video 🙏🙏🙏
