- Turning old jewelry into pure gold bars: • Turning old jewelry in...
This is a follow-up to the video on my main channel NileRed, where I extracted the gold from old jewelry.
In this video, I cover some of the waste management that I did behind the scenes. I felt like it was important to show, but it the main video was already really long.

That's everyone with nuclear waste right now.

I love how inefficient and slow this process is, yet here you are - talking about efficiency and speed..
I loved the silver extraction suddenly using glucose, and was really sad when you mentioned the copper could be done randomly with vitamin C but you weren't going to. Cool green flames tho. Really cool.

you have no idea how much i want to drink all of that
Why don’t you make a copper bar? I would like to see a video on that
1:27, you know you could have kept it out in the sun or under the light as this qould lead to photo decomposition reaction in which ,

With Vitamin C? That sounds interesting!

Where did you dispose those liquid substances?
can someone explain me what the heck is that orange smoke that always appear in his videos?

I really like the idea of extra videos covering your clean up process. it’s an important part of lab work that is often overlooked on videos
That's right
Well stated. I've often wondered what he has done with his waste and how he processes/disposes of it.
I think waste management is something a lot of folks forget; for example he was using a Fume Hood so where did all the gases go and what effects do they have? In a small individualized lab this isn't a big problem but let's upscale it to a chemical plant? If any of those ventilated gases are denser than air what effects could it have on a local population for example?
@@voidtalongaming4637 yes, at big scales that's something to worry about, and most industries take care of that, and laws who forbid those practices, but at low scale isn't something to worry about.
Of course it doesn't mean to always do that or to not worry about it
As a non-chemist, this is magic to me.
smelly magic
Alonso Moreno Montero u just have to remember that if gold is bonded to something else you don’t want, you just need to add something that will bind stronger to the other thing to remove it.
As a non chemist, this isnt like magic. It's essentially just manipulating how these chemicals and elements work. Like smashing your phone into powder, but a little more tedious.
@@srreal4821 To run with your metaphor, I think the confusing part is that after smashing your phone into powder you normally can't just add some exotic liquids and heat to get a new phone _back_ from the smashed remains, so to speak. Navigating the intricate interplay between conservation laws and entropy can be very disorienting, especially for those who are used to classifying things under one or the other.
For example, lots of people are used to the fact that oxygen can be converted to carbon dioxide and back to oxygen, because they've been taught about respiration and photosynthesis in school, however those same people are often surprised to learn that you can treat a pile of rust chemically to get back the same amount of iron you started with. People generally don't think of iron and iron oxide the way they think of oxygen and carbon dioxide, they are raised to think of breathing as a reversible conversion and rusting as an irreversible destruction. Likewise, most people think of any substance which has been dissolved in acid as having been destroyed forever, not just "stored in a different shape" for later retrieval or extraction.

thank you for reigniting my love for inorganic chemistry. i always found organic chemistry to be slow and boring. inorganic was so immediately gratifying. after seeing the iodine clock reaction in 10th grade, i knew what my major was going to be in college!

In the school, i liked chemistry alot, till teacher killed it with only theoretical formulas.
Thank you, for making chemistry so interesting
You have to do lab work with it otherwise it just turns into math and looking up known elemental properties to fill into the equations.
@@KnightsWithoutATable Which is how things are in most American schools for two reasons: costs (since the football team always needs new equipment) and administrators who get nervous if they see a student using a manual pencil sharpener or cutting paper with anything but safety scissors. We couldn't ever do much beyond theory and equation balancing with the occasional "well, that was vaguely interesting" demonstration because some girl loooooooong before my class didn't listen to instructions when using a mouth pipette (which should tell you how old the tall tale was) and sucked up some acid that caused her front teeth to puff up and dissolve when they washed her mouth with a neutralizing solution. The most exciting thing we ever did, by which I mean watched the teacher do, was dissolve the zinc out of a penny leaving the copper shell behind.
@@custos3249 Pipetting by mouth has been a no-no for a good 75 years and pointless to learn how to do with modern equipment. I took my chemistry in college, so we paid for the chemicals we used and the disposal of the waste with a lab fee. The textbook was more expensive, but I got to keep that.
@@KnightsWithoutATable Exactly my point. I graduated high school in '05, and they were still using that excuse for why we couldn't have nice things. Hard to say if it was ever legit, just a way to sidestep not having the funding, or all the above fearing a law suit. Hell, in HS biology, the most lab work we ever did was look at onion cells under the scope. Pretty riveting shit right there, especially considering that years prior in 5th grade, we dissected frogs, fish, cow eyes, and I even got to lead a class on a virtual dissection of a human because my teacher saw how good I was at playing a DOS game called 3-D Body Adventure. **disappears into cloud of nostalgia for the 90s. Truly was a better time**
@@custos3249 Not even looking at microbes from a puddle under the microscope? Sounds more like funding and a teacher teaching science that wasn't trained or enthusiastic about it.

You go man, always a pleasure to watch you succeed. Love your videos.

You know chemistry is wild when u can turn a bunch of blue liquids into metal
If you do turn the waste into copper oxide and dissolve it in sulphuric acid, at least you can make beautiful copper sulphate crystals, those are absolutely beautiful.
this is why people thought alchemy was magic. wow
the additional clean-up stuff was very interesting, if it doesnt fit in a nilered video then i'd love to see more disposing of waste here because it's part of the whole process and i'm generally interested in every detail of it

5:40 but copper nitrate is a blue salt... Since you heat it up a greenish color might be delivered from copper oxide forms (ofc some decent amount of copper nitrate is still there). By the way, you can check a prices for metal prerursors, they are typically way more expensive than pure metals. (E.g. high purity copepr nitate is about 200 eur for 100g)
7:09 that ball looks like when you rub your eyes too hard

Aw, I would have been interested in seeing a time-lapse of electrolysis of copper from the waste.
5:41 the COOLEST looking flame i have EVER seen.
blue, cyan, green, a bit of purple... its just so perfect.
As a final result, the amount of silver translated to about $5. With this said, how much in total did all of your materials cost to extract this silver?
alternatively, how much did he make in AdSense from this video?
I never took Chemistry, but this is cool.
After pulling off the silver, distill off MOST of the acid from the copper salt, and save that for other metal refining. Put in iron to cement out the copper. Add alkali to precipitate out the iron as hydroxide/oxide. The remainder can then be disposed of (rust and alkali water).
Can we just take the time to appreciate the picture quality of this content? It’s so vivid!
