    The gold waste water container has a nice powder to liquid ratio! It's amusing how you're less careful about letting powder through with your rinses today than you were in your earliest videos from many years ago. It just shows how streamlined your whole operation has become. You know that you're getting it all back anyway, so you don't sweat the small stuff anymore. It was really nice to get to witness that evolution.

    I guess a good analogy for how the inquarted gold reacts with the acid to free up the pure gold is like a chocolate chip cookie dropped into milk. The cookie (silver) dissolves in the milk (nitric acid) and the chocolate (gold) is left behind.

    I've been a Chemistry teacher for 30 years, and am impressed with your old school lab technique! Curious what the costs are on your consumables. Would wager the money is made when you (or Mrs. Sreetips) BUYS the raw material! BTW, beautiful wife you have there! She seems like a go-getter, and was first in line! Never seen such a line at an estate sale! Thanks for the content!

    • @Alsacien
      @Alsacien 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Your first sentence has piqued my interest! Do you have examples of some of the techniques Sreetips uses that are done differently in today's labs? Aside from a couple of things I'd to slightly differently, his procedures for refining gold seem as optimized as possible. He looks like he could do it with his eyes closed. Working in a longer fume hood that's not as deep so that there's no risk of knocking down glassware in the front while you work in the back would help. So would using a spreadsheet to calculate automatically how much silver is needed for inquartation. And lastly, I prefer using an electric kiln and melt powder or granules directly into the mold instead of using torches in a crucible and having to pour the ingots, but that's just personal preference.

      @@Alsacien The old school guys know how to get good results with a basic equipment and a minimal amount of technology. Take that away from a lot of the younger generation, and they're lost. Many rely on apps/programs to do their calculations, and have lost the ability to do much of it on their own. Many younger guys don't have the innate 'feel' for the lab work. Technology CAN be good for making things more idiot proof, but it also has a way of breeding better idiots. lol The less they rely on themselves and the more they rely on technology, the less in tune they become with hands-on work.

      @@n2omike Thank you for expanding on your original comment! I'm not exactly young anymore at 40, but I'm a big proponent of spreadsheets, with the caveat that people should build them themselves to demonstrate that they understand how everything is calculated. It's such a powerful tool. I'm with you on Sreetips' technique! The man operates his wash bottles with the fluidity and precision of a ballet dancer. And I haven't seen him break glassware, spill something or even have a runaway reaction in forever.

    When u had fun in science class but never want further because of a learning disability ( written tests ) and watch you do a lot of cool things makes me wish my teacher took a little bit more time to see my interest in chemistry and try to work with me a bit more then some others in class. Some teachers can read kids and help them a bit more hands on and some just don't have the interest in seeing someone trying to succeed at something that just don't come naturally to then and they move on .iv been watching you about 3 years now and find it fascinating to watch and learn from u Sir . Thank you for what u do .

    Great video! Ive been watching your videos for years and have always wondered if a beaker with gold in solution is so much heavier than a regular beaker with water if it is jarring when you go to pick it up because of how dense it was. This happened to me on a subconscious level the first time i picked up a silver bar or gold coin so i wonder if it happens when the denser metal is in solution?

    Some of those almost 4 grams may have ended up in the beaker you pour off the precipitated gold rinse solution into. It looked like it you didn’t let it settle after rinses and that solution was brown. Just giving an idea of where to look for it. I know you plan on recovering those at a later date, but nobody wants to be wondering where their gold went.

    Do you ever use Sulfamic Acid during your Aqua Regia step--to neutralize the HNO3--and to generate H2SO4 to precipitate lead and silver?
    I recently stumbled across several forum members who have been using that instead of the boiling step to clear their solution of excess nitric acid.

    • @sreetips
      @sreetips  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have sulfamic but rarely use it. I’ve come to prefer nitric dosing and evaporation.

    • @CamRStanford
      @CamRStanford 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@sreetips Are there any significant pros or cons to using it versus evaporation?

    • @sreetips
      @sreetips  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I like evaporation because nothing gets added. Adding sulfamic could introduce contaminants. Sulfamic is faster. But you got to do it while it’s hot. And adding it too quickly could boil over.

  • @TheRealGKV
    @TheRealGKV 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If the nitric and distilled water boils concentrate base metals in solution and you dump the waste solution off and “wash, rinse, repeat”, why not start out with more solution for the silver and base metals to dissolve into as opposed to repeated “small batch boils”?

    • @sreetips
      @sreetips  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Because fresh acid penetrates better and faster. As the boil progresses, the acid gets consumed and it weakens in strength. Pouring it off and adding fresh acid is the best way that I’ve found to remove nearly 100% of the silver and base metals.

    Got a question, I have been watching some of you old videos on white gold, I am fixing to refine some yellow and have several pieces of white gold and I am kinda scared to add the white in with the yellow because of the amount of silver I have to add to the yellow. What should I do?
    Thanks for the help.

    • @sreetips

      White gold has the same amount of gold as yellow gold and should be treated no differently.
