its that and the fact that green chemistry allows you to save and reuse a lot more byproducts. we are constantly running into shortages for materials, both from civilians wasting it and also from certain materials having a large amount of applications there for creating a very high demand on already rare substances. One of the worst is the shortage of helium. Its used to cool mri scanners and many other pieces of medical and industrial equipment. in the highest echelons of science its used as a coolant on the LHC, Large Hadron Collider. The LHC is crucial to furthering our understanding of gravity, subatomic and atomic particles, quarks, dark matter/energy, antimatter, quarks, and even the origins of mass which could in turn reveal how gravity works and why it is. Although we do not fully understand much of what occurs during the reactions created by the particle collisions, as the reactions do not last very long. The small pieces of information we obtain from reactions created by the LHC could give us the keys to understanding how the universe around us came to be, and how it actually operates. However none of these things are possible to use without the helium needed to cool and or operate them. Yet people seem to think helium is more important for their children's god damn balloons. Hot air literally rises, People literally ride in wicker baskets propelled by the wind and lifted by nothing but hot air and some heat resistant fabric, yet some how people dont seem to believe that puting hot air in their children's party balloons is viable course of action. theres also Diamonds and cubic zirconia. A lot of it goes into jewelry and fashion items, when in all reality there are ways to produce, ableit less rare, but equally if not more stunning pieces with other gems and materials that are so highly needed by productive and important industries. Cubic zirconia is the main replacement for diamonds in the jewelry industry as when hand cut, it is indistinguishable from a diamond to the average man or woman. However it is also a very needed and highly used material in chemical labs as it has a high mechanical strength and it is able to shield us from harsh chemicals should a reaction go wrong. its what the view window is made out of in most high end reaction chambers. Diamonds and cubic zirconia are very useful when creating lasers and very high end optical equipment. Diamonds are also greatly useful for making steal and concrete cutting blades and grinders, as the hardness of the diamonds really lends itself to shaving away steel and stone at a speedy rate in comparison to other materials.

@@zukoHD You could have literally just used the first three sentences and you'd still get your point across just fine. I swear people only write these walls of texts because it makes them feel good about themselves because literally no one is reading this shit.
One of my last jobs when I was an analytical chemist was determining when a superfund waste site that was contaminated with mercury was sufficiently cleaned up. It turns out that because the HgH system we used to measure the contamination was so sensitive, we could never get to the background level the regulators wanted: no matter what the cleanup people did, there was always residual Hg. So be careful about what you do with the solid waste! The owner of the site died in jail...
Funny thing about where I live is mercury and lead is normally at slightly elevated levels in the soil naturally...also for that matter so is uranium and other trace radioactive's so what one person would consider "waste" we consider normal soil lol.
Plant manager got a few hundred years in jail. Looks like it was a plant using mercury cell chlor-alkali to make chlorine and sodium hydroxide. cfpub.epa.gov/compliance/criminal_prosecution/index.cfm?action=3&prosecution_summary_id=782&searchParams=M5%2C%3A%2FXT%2A%5CCYZ%40%5BO%5CDFMBC%26N%2FLR_%5C%23MPMZ29RVH%20%0AM
He was making sure the waste would not harm the environment when he disposed of it. A lot of the waste eventually got evaporated or dumped down the drain but only because it was safe enough to dump out. I'm not sure what he's going to do with the rest of the solid stuff, but I assume that when you mess around with chemicals like he does you start to accumulate a lot of non-disposable waste bags. :P
@@OrangeC7 The solid mercury waste is just contained, and not thrown out unless you send it out to an actual waste company, which is VERY expensive. Thus, you just keep it contained in a waste bin.
Thanks for doing this one, Nile. So many experiments you see on YT omit the clean up. It is really encouraging and instructive to see good practice for this kind of thing.

Big thumbs up for showing some responsible waste treatment! Probably a lot of the brown goo is just sulfur. Poly-sulfides tend to give off sulfur instead of being oxidised to sulfate.
I really appreciate these waste clean-up videos. I think it's very important to teach what to do with chemical waste in an amateur environment to at least mitigate hazards and allow for easier clean-up via approved environmental protection agencies and companies.
Nile, please for a video of responsible waste treatment. like where to find a legitimate company, how to find out what containers they prefer their waste to be keep in, the categories of waste and how to keep separate waste containers to minimize the disposal costs, where to buy containers, how to label/store the containers, etc. I hear of too many people in the comments trying to treat their own waste. Like people that don't have basic lab equipment, but want us to believe that they are qualified to properly treat waste. I don't want some idiot polluting our water.
I second this - one of my big fears of getting into amateur chemistry is failing to properly dispose of waste chemicals. I personally have no clue how to do this.
Thanks for the starting point. Personally I generally never start a project without having the end already planned out (thus disposal and storage). More specifically, I've been trying to wrap my head around proper glass cleaning processes to ensure a pure environment for the next experiment.
If someone's not going to take the time to look these things up, they probably weren't planning on disposing of their hazardous waste properly to begin with. I think these videos serve as a pretty good indication that you shouldn't be doing this unless you know what you're doing.
Nice one! I would certainly not have the patience to do this whole process. Are there also test strips for measuring the concentration of suicide spider present in solution? :D

Funny as a kid we knew of the danger, still got to play with it. One day someone sneezed and dropped a bottle. The cleanup was scooping most of it backup and mopping the floor. Good thing trace elemental mercury is not all that bad. For human life anyway as less that 1% can be absorbed if you manage to eat it, and though vapor is a concern, the low vapor pressure of mercury combined with the small amount mean it was not a huge deal. Regulations and whatnot though today are a bit different. The funny cleanups when I was in the military are mostly iridium. They act like the world has come to and end and everyone is gonna die. :P Good video and I will have to up my game when it comes to recovery and cleanup before I work with certain elements for sure.
man thats a LOT of work to recover a tiny bit of mercury. i wonder if it woukdnt have been better to just dipose of the original cinnibar as mercury waste.
I think you definitely should have kept the 59 grams of pure stuff separate from the 200 grams of celite crud.59 g of HgS has like 40+g of elemental Hg in it right?
"Reuploaded due to an error. I said the white flakes were aluminum/mercury amalgam, but it isn't. It is just oxidized aluminum, which is a result of the amalgam."
i know this video has been dead for years but is there a reason Nile didn't use just fine-ground CaOCl pool tablets? same surface area as liquid, much much more effective with less volume.
I have high interests in seeing the lead acetate video. The other aspect of it is how to make less toxic lead from lead acetate so it doesn't get absorbed through the skin. Some online chem forum posted nacl or better yet sodium carbondate supposedly to reduce its "toxicity". But want to see something more concrete. Don't take my words for it.
Yeah, but not as such. They weren't adding chunks of lead acetate to the wine to make it sweeter (though that was done later, in medieval times). They used copper or bronze recipients that were coated on the inside with lead, and that had a double effect. When poor quality wine was stored in those, the acetic acid formed by the oxidation of the ethanol (therefore: poor quality wine) reacted with the lead, causing on the one hand the decrease of acetic acid concentration thus making the wine less sour, and on the other hand producing lead acetate which is sweet. This was done on a very large scale as a means of "improving" poor wines. It may have lead (sorry for the pun) indirectly, or at least contributed to, to the fall of the Roman Empire due to chronic lead poisoning of large parts of the population. The barbarians attacking them presumably didn't have this problem because they were, well, barbarians and didn't use such "advanced" methods of wine rectification. Sour grapes are sometimes better.
Why not Dean i was curious too, and since i have 10 kilograms of lead metal in my basement, i tried licking it. trust me, it has absolutely no taste, just like any metal. by the way, taste testing lead, mercury or any other pure metal should be 100% safe, since your body can't absorb it directly. lead acetate, however, is a totally different story. they say you can even ingest mercury and it would all come out the other end, because the hydrochloric acid in your stomach can't directly dissolve it, but i wouldn't try it.

Anticonny Pb-Acetate isn't elemental Pb
Yeah, but not as such. They weren't adding chunks of lead acetate to the wine to make it sweeter (though that was done later, in medieval times). They used copper or bronze recipients that were coated on the inside with lead, and that had a double effect. When poor quality wine was stored in those, the acetic acid formed by the oxidation of the ethanol (therefore: poor quality wine) reacted with the lead, causing on the one hand the decrease of acetic acid concentration thus making the wine less sour, and on the other hand producing lead acetate which is sweet. This was done on a very large scale as a means of "improving" poor wines.
It may have lead (sorry for the pun) indirectly, or at least contributed to, to the fall of the Roman Empire due to chronic lead poisoning of large parts of the population. The barbarians attacking them presumably didn't have this problem because they were, well, barbarians and didn't use such "advanced" methods of wine rectification. Sour grapes are sometimes better.
Why not Dean i was curious too, and since i have 10 kilograms of lead metal in my basement, i tried licking it. trust me, it has absolutely no taste, just like any metal. by the way, taste testing lead, mercury or any other pure metal should be 100% safe, since your body can't absorb it directly. lead acetate, however, is a totally different story. they say you can even ingest mercury and it would all come out the other end, because the hydrochloric acid in your stomach can't directly dissolve it, but i wouldn't try it.
