For a self taught guy, you do some amazing chemistry. You seem to have an innate understanding of chemical processes and when you arrive at unexpected results (hexachloroplatinate formation) you are cautious and do tests to validate your hypothesis. Really impressive. Thank you for the education.
49:00 heat decomposition should mean that sample has to be dehydrated first. I would use a large ziplock bag and a small beaker half-full of NaOH as a dessicant. Put the dish in the bag next to the beaker and seal the bag for a couple of days.
Thank you for taking us with you on your learning adventure. I can tell you're frazzled, but you're doing well! Thank you again for doing this with us!
But $150 dollars of acids and supplies and a whole days time for around 250 worth of palladium would not be worth it to me to do on a production scale. Neat for a project though
Stuff like this is why I watch these videos. I don't wan't to see the perfect textbook example of these processes. Its the unexpected things, the common mistakes that i'm likely to make that I wan't to see.
Wow! The amout of work this requires is amazing! But I love it. So many colors too-orange, red, green, blue, yellow. You travel through the rainbow as you process it. I really wish I'd bought some palladium back in 2016 when it was only around $500 an ounce. I knew it was going to go up in value but I couldn't quite pull the trigger on it.
Great video. I think I yelled, too, when the palladium precipitated and I agree with you: How awesome is that? Congratulations! I don't know what the spot price for palladium was 2 years ago but right now that 3.6 gr button is worth $291.50 at spot. That's awesome. BTW, folks. If it was 3.6 gr of pure gold it would only be worth $182. 😉✌️
When you had the peatre dish full of ashes. I thought for a moment that you weren't going to have results. But you showed a button of Palladium. Awesome!
Very nice button!! That would've been very hard for me to sell the first palladium button I ever made! I definitely understand the need of funds to cover cost! By the way, I wanted to tell you I'm sorry! I read the comment I made, from part 1 of this palladium refine. That was when I first started to watch your videos. I was a skeptic at first because I watched the ewaste videos first and I was very defensive (regarding ewaste). Now that I've watched almost all of your videos I have a whole new respect for you!!! You are an incredible teacher & an amazing self taught chemist!! You have really inspired me on so many levels!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!
Palladium refining is a very cool process!! I can only imagine what the palladium looked like when it was precipitated out!! Looked beautiful from this side!! Have a GREAT Day Sreetips!!!
It seems like you have gone from solution to principate to solution to principate about 40 times! I'm so lost. I am so glad that you are still excited about what you are doing.
What if I clean and break down all my electronics scrap that has good stuff in it and once I get a good large amount I’ll send it to you free of charge and you refine it and sell it? Then we can split the money? I collect and clean up all the precious metal bearing scrap send it to ya and then you refine it? We split the money equally? Would that work?
Wow amazing just amazing.. You are my favorite person to listen to an learn from . When it comes to matters like many hours spent to get this beautiful button of palladium... Thanks for all you do ✌🏼💗😊
Very nice. Watched again 3 years later. It would be cool to show what different karate of gold mixed with platinum or palladium looks like. Like half 24k gold and half platinum. To show what the different alloys look like.
Sreetips you're miles ahead of me on this subject. I precipitated a solution of pyrites that had sperrylite crystals that were sluiced from a creek here in Indiana and got those same beautiful colors. Ultimately I got a black metal mostly iron... I need that book Congradulations on Palladium!!! That WAS cool.
there's a spot I like to go to that has fine gold and alot of pyrite. When I found sperrylite in the heavies I thought I would attempt to leach a batch of them and precipitate the metal. I got an orange precipitate and tan/purple stanous tests. My attempt was a failure but worth the experience. Since then I've purchased several chemistry items hopefully for success in the future.
area46241 you can hokes book online, should be able to download it for free. It is a great help when starting out. I'd kill to be able to pull some gold from a river. Sounds fun
Sreetips, I truly appreciate your videos. Very detailed and easy to follow. Im going to start with some simple gold refining myself after I get a small system set up to work with safely. I have only three simple questions. Is there a general book that can be bought with details for refining PM’s? Where would you suggest buying supplies such as beakers and non-OTC chemicals or substances needed for projects? And have you ever attempted refining rhodium? Thanks and keep putting out the videos!
No to rhodium. I buy chemicals on eBay and at ace hardware. dudadiesel.com is another source. Glassware on eBay. Free PDF download: Refining Precious Metal Wastes by C.M. Hoke all over the internet. I learned on the goldrefiningforum.com my user name there is “kadriver” you can view my rookie posts way back to 2010 when I first started refining.
Omg 🎉what a beauty ❤enjoying and enjoyed every minute thanks streetips tips you never let anyone down with your videos I can’t wait until you hit one million subscribers because you deserve it thank again god bless cheers
You know for a long time I always wondered why all these abandoned gold mines had tons of chemical by waste products in these big ponds that were so hazardous and watching you do refining of gold and silver and such I now know why they were there and how hazardous they actually are lots of copper
Grate work Bob, i would like to see u work on extracting palladium from black sands, i am trying to put together a project, with 154.81 million cubic yard alluvial river gravel of gold, palladium 2.83 grams and platinum 0.25 grams, like to see you work on black sands
40:45 "Better not overshoot the HCL or well start putting stuff back into solution", I've run into this problem a few times.. "There it is!... wait... where the hell did it go?!" lol. I believe the term is *amphoteric* or *amphoterism* - _In chemistry, an amphoteric compound is a molecule or ion that can react both as an acid and as a base._
Suggested reading "Refining precious metal wastes by C.M.Hoke" spicifically page 148 refining Palladium using Sodium Chlorate (not to be confused with Sodium Chloride (Salt)) . Also check repurification of Palladium with Amonium Hydroxide if you want to achieve pure palladuim
You've been courageous when mixing beker 2 solution directly into the main solution. I watched the video for the second time, but I did not lose the emotion. Cool!
You mentioned a concern about the concentrated ammonia damaging your fume hood blower. I would also be concerned about what the acid vapors and nitrous oxide gases are doing to it. You might be avoid this problem by reworking your hood air extraction system. The idea is to keep the contaminated air from blowing through the motor/fan at all. Think about the concept of the venturi jet pump - one application of which is to use a water jet to create a vacuum. If you use the blower to form an air jet, you can use the same principle to form a vacuum that will suck the air out of the hood without any of that contaminated air passing through the blower. There probably are designs available on the web for such an extraction hood design. My major concern would be efficiency of such a system. The airflow necessary to create a sufficient draft in the hood might be unacceptable.
Awesome Sreetips... I never seen Paladium metal. Loved the boil over. Currently percipitating Silver myself... Keyboard mylars and electrical contacts. Hope I have enough to mint a coin of it.
Oh and I changed my youtube name from Jan Behang...didn't wanted to be associated with a wallpaper seller. Johannes de Sloper is Dutch for something like John the Scraptist.
Could you make me a master list of everything that has precious metal in it that’s worth keeping? I’ll start keeping my eye out for everything on the list and stockpile it for you. I’ll build it up and clean it up for you and then you refine it for us and make videos about it and we split the money after it’s sold?
You are a genius. Love your videos. Very educational. Great to see what’s involved and helps me make decisions on what is worth messing with and what may be to dangerous or to hard. Thanks for the education. Would you be interested in purchasing my electronic precious metal bearing scrap in bulk for a fair for both of us price? I’d give you a good deal
If i put a bunch of computer boards on a barrel and add hydrocloric acid , how would i precipitate the iron/ steel that is in the solution? Thanks brother . watching all your videos and learning as we go.
You vaporized more palladium than ill ever own..... :( very informative video though, You've made me knowledgeable enough to confidently refine all the precious metals now.... great valuable videos.
Your getting good at this using Chlorine Gas to precipitate a metal Palladium? Nice job on the Chlorine Gas Generator first time I've heard of that process vs Other ways.
Wutz up it s Joe Garcia with New Mexico Gold.....I'm trying to figure out which of the 8 noble metals how to determine what is what.. by maybe the atomic weight......not sure ...I could really use some insight.....do you know about these metals
Platinum, Palladium and Gold (little bit of silver?) in your stock pot probably. But what about the other platinum group metals? You think there's some iridium or Rhodium in there? The reason I ask is because you were surprised to find platinum in your palladium. As I understand it, it's not unusual to find traces of other (platinum group) metals in, say, silver, so there is a chance that some of that stuff is another PG-metal.
The stock pot will probably have some Iridium and rhodium. If I find either I'll just send those on to Lou at Auris Nobel in Ohio. After platinum and palladium, the other four PGMs seem very distant. Rhodium is close to $2000 per Troy ounce. I see it frequently as plating on silver and gold jewelry.
Good job.... I bet your bummed you sold it (if you did) , as it's up to $1410 an oz now, up $500 bucks since last August.... Thanks again for the Sat night entertainment
Have you been able to have your palladium button analysed? Like with an XRF gun? I'm curious because i read that acetylene bonds to platinum and to avoid it in smelting. Thought that since palladium has similar qualities to platinum, that maybe it did something similar. AWESOME VIDEOS! Thanks!!
great result .. you have possibilities. What do you do without the possibility? can not pd be refined with simpler methods and easily detectable precipitants?
Not that I know of. Not many people could have pulled this off. I relied heavily on my years of experience refining gold and silver even though gold and silver refining is like a cookie recipe compared to platinum group metals refining.
Hola desde Paraguay de nutrición la solución es decir bajo a ph con urea luego corto con amoniaco 99% es correcto...? Luego cuando la filtro la lavo con croridririco aci entiendo corregime aci recupero mí paladio saludó
Question; I just refined 15 lbs of electrical contacts from an old industrial plant that I believe to have palladium. I'm not sure how I should get the palladium out of the filter bags. There is still some silver shot left in the bag mixed in with the dark grey slim. Any idea how to get the grey powder separate from the silver? How to get the grey powder out of the bag? Thanks
Ok maybe this is a dumb question but......... Instead of precipitating using the bubbling gas, could the crushed pool tab and hydrochloric simply be added to the palladium solution, and when the addition of either one no longer produces any precipitate, then do a stannous test?
Just had an idea. Crayola should issue a new set of crayons with all of the colors being those of the metal salts and solutions we have seen on sreetips videos. Palladium Yellow just for a start
Hi Sreetips. I'm really enjoying your vids. I was wondering if you are using a scrubber to filter the fumes exiting your fume hood, or are the toxic gases just blown out into the air?
I got my Platinum to hot burning off the Ammonia Cloride and it took off burned and went up in Redish Metallic Smoke could not stop the reaction once it started lost half a pound of Platinum.
Streetips I have a question for you. It’s unrelated to refining. I’m using muriatic/hydrochloric acid 31.45 percent concentration. I’m using it to remove mill scale from steel. I have bought it from two different places. One is a pool chemical store and the other is a hardware store ( hardware store is almost a dollar cheeper per gallon). The acid from the pool store is or has a yellow tint, doesn’t foam up as quick when dripped on the concrete, and the fumes as soon as I open a new jug takes my breath away. The acid from the hardware store is clear, reacts instantly and vigorously when it drips on the concrete, and it has almost no smell when pouring. My question is did I buy some old crap from the pool store? Is this normal reaction with old acid? This might be a good video about the chemicals you use and how to know if they are any good.
Nick, if both acids are labeled 31.45% then there is really no difference. The yellow tint comes from the manufacturing process of the acid. I've gotten some bottles that are slightly tinted. But if the hardware store acid is cheaper then it's a no brainer.
I love sreetips video,i learn a lot from him,thank you sreetips you are genuine precious metal refiner, to support sreetips, watch fully advertisement tell the end, do not escape, to earn sreetips..😘
Again an excellent video (both parts), thank you! I love watching your Clips, its like watching a tv series, wondering whats next...;-)I understand that you as an excellent refiner felt challenged by the PGM, especially your stockpot and catalytic converters in mind.But as you could see, handling with PGMs is a mess, there is always a loss of them to the waste material (filters, solutions, both has to be reworked some day, I bet, you will get another 2grams of Pd at least and some Pt) and the toxic-allergic hazard is always lurking. I recommend to always have an Epi-Pen or some similar epinephrine-delivering device in reach when handling with salts of PGMs (especially platinum). A heavy to severe anaphylactic reaction could (not will) occur suddenly after coming in contact with them on different occasions (e.g. inhalative, skin contact). This could happen within seconds to a minute. All symptoms which exceed skin reaction (e.g. bronchospasm with dyspnea, swelling of lips, tongue or pharolaryngeal, dizziness, intestinal symptoms with nausea, vomiting and/ or cramps and more) should lead to the immediate application of epinephrine 0.3-0.5mg parenterally (i.m.) and calling emergency services.Protection comes first, protect airways, eyes and skin (especially wearing gloves that reach up to the middle of the forearm).Thats why I keep it simple with PGMs. Holding them as solids in the stockpot as long as possible, when the day comes, drop the residual values with zinc (after the Gold drop), redissolve in AR and drop again with pure copper powder, repetitive washes in HCl (goes to stockpot) and then repetitive boils in distilled water. Collect as PGM-mix for hard times or nothing else to do. Thanks again for your really great work!
I've got some catalytic converters that I want to do so I can make a video. Also some catalytic beads. Plus the stock pot. Then I'll probably leave the PGMs alone.
Sreetips, what is the name of that glassware/gas generator? If I want to search for and buy one what term should I use to search for it? Thanks in advance.
Scott, the glass I used was a one liter side arm filter flask with a 24/40 ground glass top. The 250ml equalizing funnel also had a 24/40 ground glass fitting so that it would fit into the filter flask.
Hello sreetips, got a question, I happened to come into vintage electronics. Old tv’s, vcr’s, computers, etc. it appears it’s gold, palladium and silver but mostly palladium. I’m not trying too get it 999 I’m just trying to get it to metal and will refine later for pure palladium, any suggestions will be appreciated. I have multiple 5 gallon buckets.
@@sreetips yes, I was more towards the palladium considering the the amount of mlcc’s and their vintage so some of them have 7 mlccs imbedded in the ceramic. I’m gonna be depopulating for about a month, I’m only a quarter of the way through right now and just wanted a game plan. Some of the other refining videos and information in text have many steps with materials needed. In retrospect I have enough to trial and error my way through it, just looking for options and instructions for large loads palladium.
@@sreetips ok thanks for that, the projection I have will come up to 80lbs just the older icb chips some of which tested positive for silver and copper. I’ve looked into getting some of that eco goldex and giving that a try.
Great presentation! Thank you, how much Is palladium going for a Troy Ounce? I want to learn to extract it from the small capacitors on computer Circuit boards.
Yes, I was working with 7.5 grams, but it would be the same for 75 grams or 750 grams of material. But the times would be much greater. And don't for get the boil over.
For a self taught guy, you do some amazing chemistry. You seem to have an innate understanding of chemical processes and when you arrive at unexpected results (hexachloroplatinate formation) you are cautious and do tests to validate your hypothesis. Really impressive. Thank you for the education.
Definitely makes me appreciate the people in our group that help eachother with their processes.
Every second of this two part video was fascinating, I can now see why Palladium is so expensive, what a process!
49:00 heat decomposition should mean that sample has to be dehydrated first. I would use a large ziplock bag and a small beaker half-full of NaOH as a dessicant. Put the dish in the bag next to the beaker and seal the bag for a couple of days.
Thank you for taking us with you on your learning adventure. I can tell you're frazzled, but you're doing well! Thank you again for doing this with us!
I finally feel confident enough to do my stock pot and the automotive catalytic converter videos now. Watch for these to come out soon. Thanks
It's an AWESOME feeling, when you see the metal form beads under the torch! Truly enjoyable!

What do you do without the possibility?
can not pd be refined with simpler methods and easily detectable precipitants?
Not that I know of. Not many people could have pulled this off. I relied heavily on my years of experience refining gold and silver even though gold and silver refining is like a cookie recipe compared to platinum group metals refining.
Hola desde Paraguay de nutrición la solución es decir bajo a ph con urea luego corto con amoniaco 99% es correcto...? Luego cuando la filtro la lavo con croridririco aci entiendo corregime aci recupero mí paladio saludó
Question; I just refined 15 lbs of electrical contacts from an old industrial plant that I believe to have palladium. I'm not sure how I should get the palladium out of the filter bags. There is still some silver shot left in the bag mixed in with the dark grey slim. Any idea how to get the grey powder separate from the silver? How to get the grey powder out of the bag? Thanks
I'm going to use a plastic mesh strainer in a future video
Ok maybe this is a dumb question but.........
Instead of precipitating using the bubbling gas, could the crushed pool tab and hydrochloric simply be added to the palladium solution, and when the addition of either one no longer produces any precipitate, then do a stannous test?
I'm thoroughly enjoying your videos. I do have to wonder what your monthly HCL budget is though. :)
Same!
Just had an idea. Crayola should issue a new set of crayons with all of the colors being those of the metal salts and solutions we have seen on sreetips videos. Palladium Yellow just for a start
Try putting the quartz dish on top of the funnel, and then turn them both upside-down with one movement.
Hi Sreetips. I'm really enjoying your vids. I was wondering if you are using a scrubber to filter the fumes exiting your fume hood, or are the toxic gases just blown out into the air?
There are no scrubbers, it goes straight out the exhaust stack.
I'm a little confused - why didn't you wash all that red salt out of the beaker into the filter? Is that not the stuff we wanted?
I can’t remember, maybe due to some solubility issues.
Do you have a video where you explain how you deal with waste liquids at the end of a process like this?
Yes, waste treatment
I've been following you for a while, I want to see this too :Palladium and Silver from ceramic capacitors MLCCs - recovery and refining ?
I’ve got some just need to push forward with them.
Stupendous effort sir! Many thanks!
I got my Platinum to hot burning off the Ammonia Cloride and it took off burned and went up in Redish Metallic Smoke could not stop the reaction once it started lost half a pound of Platinum.
Streetips I have a question for you. It’s unrelated to refining.
I’m using muriatic/hydrochloric acid 31.45 percent concentration. I’m using it to remove mill scale from steel. I have bought it from two different places. One is a pool chemical store and the other is a hardware store ( hardware store is almost a dollar cheeper per gallon). The acid from the pool store is or has a yellow tint, doesn’t foam up as quick when dripped on the concrete, and the fumes as soon as I open a new jug takes my breath away. The acid from the hardware store is clear, reacts instantly and vigorously when it drips on the concrete, and it has almost no smell when pouring.
My question is did I buy some old crap from the pool store? Is this normal reaction with old acid?
This might be a good video about the chemicals you use and how to know if they are any good.
Nick, if both acids are labeled 31.45% then there is really no difference. The yellow tint comes from the manufacturing process of the acid. I've gotten some bottles that are slightly tinted. But if the hardware store acid is cheaper then it's a no brainer.
I love sreetips video,i learn a lot from him,thank you sreetips you are genuine precious metal refiner, to support sreetips, watch fully advertisement tell the end, do not escape, to earn sreetips..😘
Dear Sir:
Will this full process work on natural rock powder that contains palladium Thanks
Nice, well done. 👍
Amazing journey, thank you sreetips!
When you dissolve the salt into ammonia hydroxide is there a substitute for the use of HCl to precipitate the pure palladium powder??
I don’t know, I’ve only done it a few times.
@@sreetips I respect the fast reply and the honest response! Keep up the awesome work!
So the end result is about $112 in today's market. If you cost out your materials and time, how much profit will you end up with?
I don't know. I only did this to gain the knowledge on how to get my palladium. I sold the button on my eBay store for $150
Again an excellent video (both parts), thank you! I love watching your Clips, its like watching a tv series, wondering whats next...;-)I understand that you as an excellent refiner felt challenged by the PGM, especially your stockpot and catalytic converters in mind.But as you could see, handling with PGMs is a mess, there is always a loss of them to the waste material (filters, solutions, both has to be reworked some day, I bet, you will get another 2grams of Pd at least and some Pt) and the toxic-allergic hazard is always lurking. I recommend to always have an Epi-Pen or some similar epinephrine-delivering device in reach when handling with salts of PGMs (especially platinum). A heavy to severe anaphylactic reaction could (not will) occur suddenly after coming in contact with them on different occasions (e.g. inhalative, skin contact). This could happen within seconds to a minute. All symptoms which exceed skin reaction (e.g. bronchospasm with dyspnea, swelling of lips, tongue or pharolaryngeal, dizziness, intestinal symptoms with nausea, vomiting and/ or cramps and more) should lead to the immediate application of epinephrine 0.3-0.5mg parenterally (i.m.) and calling emergency services.Protection comes first, protect airways, eyes and skin (especially wearing gloves that reach up to the middle of the forearm).Thats why I keep it simple with PGMs. Holding them as solids in the stockpot as long as possible, when the day comes, drop the residual values with zinc (after the Gold drop), redissolve in AR and drop again with pure copper powder, repetitive washes in HCl (goes to stockpot) and then repetitive boils in distilled water. Collect as PGM-mix for hard times or nothing else to do. Thanks again for your really great work!
I've got some catalytic converters that I want to do so I can make a video. Also some catalytic beads. Plus the stock pot. Then I'll probably leave the PGMs alone.
Hello Sreetips! Thank you so much for such a great video! May I ask you when are you going to make the catalytic converter video? Thank you :-)
I have metal paladium pure quantity 44kg in vietnam 🇻🇳th-cam.com/video/Af996E7V-xI/w-d-xo.html
When are you going to try Rohdium it's so much fun I enjoy Rohdium work.
Nice job Streetips (for your first go) Thanks from a UK watcher.
Cheers!
Sreetips, what is the name of that glassware/gas generator? If I want to search for and buy one what term should I use to search for it? Thanks in advance.
Scott, the glass I used was a one liter side arm filter flask with a 24/40 ground glass top. The 250ml equalizing funnel also had a 24/40 ground glass fitting so that it would fit into the filter flask.
When you got the black precip why did you just sell it or smelt it with flux?? instead of the very complicated process in this video.
I wanted to learn the palladium refining process. The black powder is mixed platinum group metals.
Hello sreetips, got a question, I happened to come into vintage electronics. Old tv’s, vcr’s, computers, etc. it appears it’s gold, palladium and silver but mostly palladium. I’m not trying too get it 999 I’m just trying to get it to metal and will refine later for pure palladium, any suggestions will be appreciated. I have multiple 5 gallon buckets.
Palladium and silver are soluble in hot nitric. Gold, not so much.
@@sreetips yes, I was more towards the palladium considering the the amount of mlcc’s and their vintage so some of them have 7 mlccs imbedded in the ceramic. I’m gonna be depopulating for about a month, I’m only a quarter of the way through right now and just wanted a game plan. Some of the other refining videos and information in text have many steps with materials needed. In retrospect I have enough to trial and error my way through it, just looking for options and instructions for large loads palladium.
I’ve use dimethylglyoxime to precipitate palladium.
@@sreetips ok thanks for that, the projection I have will come up to 80lbs just the older icb chips some of which tested positive for silver and copper. I’ve looked into getting some of that eco goldex and giving that a try.
loved this series. even the oops
Great presentation! Thank you, how much Is palladium going for a Troy Ounce? I want to learn to extract it from the small capacitors on computer Circuit boards.
Palladium doesn't usually sell by the OZ. because its $2500+. Most people dealing in palladium sell by the gram, and it is $80+/g.
Im picking MLCCs while watching this.
Little bastards....
Could this process be safely scalled up to process say 100 liters of material? I have ewaste of several tons of computer scrap.
Yes, I was working with 7.5 grams, but it would be the same for 75 grams or 750 grams of material. But the times would be much greater. And don't for get the boil over.
Good job bos,thank you very much
I can help by buying from your shop, but Ebay won't let me find you. It just says user not found? I love your videos, and would like to help
I changed it to “sreetips”
Thank you for the good video. Next time for the final step try to use ashless filter it will help you a lot.
😲Very nice 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍😄😃
If we use a combination of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, should the same steps continue or is it different?
Not quite sure about that
Cảm ơn chú đã chỉ dạy cách phân Kim pt pd
Hi Streetips, thank you for another great video. Do you plan to make video about Indium refining?
I don't think so, platinum and palladium are as far as I'll probably go.
Ok. Thank you for answer.
Uauu very beautiful process 👍👍👍
Morning Gunny. How do you test for Palladium?
Stannous chloride testing solution. Or DMG will reveal palladium in solution.
Thanks! You definitely ROCK IT OLD SCHOOL! Appreciate you!
Wade
What a trilogy!
