Orange being my favorite color it‘s always so satisfying to see the forbidden orange juice. „Now I add some ice“ is my favorite part. Next to when the first melted gold reflections start to appear on the refined gold powder melting in the dish. Thanks!
Real clear zoom-ins, sir! Lets us see more of what you see! I've been watching your channel for quite a while and I find your explanations (on screen text or your voice) and enthusiasm adds so much more to the video. Thanks for the great content.
So glad I found your channel Sreetips. Still interesting after several months watchin. I like talkin about the process to people and watching their face go blank...I was once one of them blank faces. You actually taught me a bunch on this. Thanks for the lesson brother.
42% gold yield with unaccounted silver weight and abrasive/sand weight. (1) You could weigh the dry filter before the sand, dry the sand filter and weigh it again. Subtract the dry filter weight to get the sand/abrasive weight. (2) Weigh the dry cement silver and subtract the 41.7g added to inquart the gold, should give you approx. silver in the scrap. It would be good to know these values for future refining Kevin. Overall good video content. I'm glad you didn't have the annoying sludge like you did from the jeweler's carpet.
Just found your channel and as a science and math geek I completely enamored with this process. I didn't know this was something people did and now I think I'll be doing some research to start a new hobby. Keep making amazing content! You've definitely earned a new sub!
321st! Haven’t seen you do this type of scrap before. Your jeweler will be very happy when you hand over the finished product. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Awesome refining video and beautiful gold bar! I can't help but get a laugh out of the fact that the gold powder in it's "three nines" refined state really looks a lot like pooh and yet also melts into a beautifully shiny gold bar. 😂👍
Excellent video sir awesome content it seams this jeweler is a very clean one outstanding return on his scrap thank you for sharing this with us six stars
I really enjoyed watching that, and thank you for sharing. ;^) P.S Electrum was used as early as the third millennium BC in Old Kingdom of Egypt, sometimes as an exterior coating to the pyramidions atop ancient Egyptian pyramids and obelisks. The name Electrum is derived from the Greek word “Elektron” which refers to a metallic substance containing gold and silver.
@37:10 What I do not understand completely, why wouldn´t you pour out the already green solution (containing perhaps FeCl2) and then add fresh HCl and HNO3 ?
@21:50 I would assume, that you pull out grey aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and aluminium nitrate (Al(NO3)3) out of there, together with blue copper nitrate ( Cu(NO3)2) , iron nitrates (green Fe(NO3)2 and purple Fe(NO3)3). The alumiium content should be part of the corundum, that may have been used for filing the jewlery.
Again a very clear, simple and usefull explanation. Have you already try the cupelation methode to extract gold and/or silver ? Also, if you are interrested, I dismount lot of hard drive and I've consequently lot of strong magnets. I don't ask anything for that, just to be able to continue to watch your greats videos. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter, I’ll use them for other interesting projects. ;-) Continue it's just amazing. Best Regards, Sylvain
I find it interesting your concern over the boric acid flux,. I use the stuff as a major ingredient in my fluxing agents for my smelting furnace when dealing with Al, Fe, brass and casting aluminum bronze and bronze when making products for my customers. Than again I'm not dissolving the scrap down for purity. My scrap is of known purity
From the way the pregnant gold solution reacted to the SMB, I think there was a lot less residual nitric acid than with your previous refinings. I also like your using the partly spent nitric from the first digestion in the second digestion. This minimizes both the amount of excess nitric acid in the waste liquid as well as the total volume of that waste. I was unaware there would be that much nitric acid remaining after the first digestion stopped. In the future, if you are doing only one digestion, you might want to try saving the once used nitric acid for use in a future refining.
Question. I am new to the refining karated gold. I took your advice and purchased the test kit, with the pins of different karated gold, on the tips. I purchased scratch stones and chemicals. If I "misgauge the karate weight and enquart too much silver, with the gold, what are the conciquences?
The gold will crumble to a powder and make separating the silver nitrate solution from the gold powder difficult. Not a disaster, just takes way longer because you must wait between rinses for the gold to settle. Could take days but you’ll learn a valuable lesson about inquarting with too much silver. Or you could filter the gold powder (some is so fine that it will pass right through the filter - traces only even though it looks like a lot) then put the gold in a melt dish, filter paper and all, and melt into a button, re-test to determine karat, re-inquart, and start all over if you don’t feel like waiting days for the gold to settle. I’ve done this in previous videos. “Oops, added too much silver” is in the title, I believe.
@@sreetips Thanks So very much! At my age, time wasted is a factor! Saved me! Thanks again! BTW, you are becoming a common, often, discussed topic in my family. SREETIPS is to long. My wife suggested that we just refer to you as, "Steve". Hopefully that is not offensive to you. Thanks again so much! Wade
I have watched a lot of these videos, and I love them. But I STILL don't know what the brown/yellow fume is when you pour the nitric with the gold/silver alloy. Please explain?
Great video. Kind of an abbreviated version of the jewelers carpet you did awhile back. Way cleaner scraps manufacture vs repair. What would you estimate the purity if you had only single refined? The chloroauric acid looked crystal clear after the first filtering..
Question for you. Why do you think there is a lot of trash in my gold finger recovery beaker after i use salt vinigar and peroxide to release the foils? It has me stumped. Looks like brown mud mixed with gold foils. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Question: if you had 18k gold (perhaps a bit more pure) gold dust (from panning), would you still use inquarting or would you consider going straight to AR? Love your vids!
Going by past videos (where he added 18k gold into the alloy), I'd say he would inquart 18k gold. I give even odds between Sreetips inquarting and going straight to AR at about 23k.
Inquart then parting with nitric does such a fantastic job at cleaning the gold. Plus, I have a lot of silver to dissolve. So why not use it to inquart something?
This makes me wanna be a Jewlers apprentice or something, I'd live to do prep work to get scrap prepared, or something like that. Though I'm worried I don't know enough basic chemistry, lol. At least I can dream! ✌
One gram stannous chloride crystals. One gram pure tin shot. 25ml distilled water. 30 drops hydrochloric acid. Combine, shake to mix, ready for immediate use.
Crazy the difference when you have reasonably clean material to start with! usually your jewelers scarp ends up all black during the first round of aquaregia.
I'm curious sreetips, is it possible to check if the gold is indeed 6k with a liquid test? Like If you weren't confident that you had the amount in dust/filings and when you inquarted you did it wrong, or do you just go with what you have even if it crumbles?
Hey Sreetips! I have a question … I’m in Canada it’s getting harder to get sodium metabisulphite most Ubrews or wine makers now are using potassium metabisulphite. I have read that potassium is ok to drop gold out of the solution what do you think? Thank you
Would it be OK to throw the finely divided material into the enquartment? There would be abrasive material in the gold-silver mixture, but would that be a problem?
My best guess is that it would be a problem as it won't dissolve, so won't open up passage to give the acid access to silver and base metals surrounded by gold, with is the whole point of inquarting.
It could have been melted with the karat pieces with some sodium carbonate, borax, and crushed glass flux. The sand and abrasive material would follow the flux and leave a clean metal blob that could then be inquarted and parted with nitric.
How do you manage working in with those thermostat electric burners? They can be irritating especially when I want the temperature to keep it at boiling and all of a sudden it just stops and makes me have to start it over again ...
Have you any of the alloying metals for Sterling and Karat Gold. It's unlikely that your client will make jewelery with pure precious metals -they are usually too soft and abrade excessively in use/wearing?
I’ve made him karat gold. He had some he was rolling and it kept cracking and breaking. I refined the gold. Added pure silver, pure zinc, pure copper in correct proportions. He said it rolled like hot butter.
Really good trash 😉 MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) has found that inactive yeast could be effective as an inexpensive, abundant, and simple material for removing lead contamination from drinking water supplies. The study shows that this approach can be efficient and economic, even down to part-per-billion levels of contamination. Serious damage to human health is known to occur even at these low levels. The method is so efficient that the team has calculated that waste yeast discarded from a single brewery in Boston would enough to treat the city’s entire water supply. Such a fully sustainable system would not only purify the water but also divert what would otherwise be a waste stream needing disposal.
I just saw something interesting, when inquarting have you tried pouring through about 2 to 3 inches of ice in the water with 4 inches of clear water below the ice.
@@sreetips the procedure i watched the gentelman had a bucke full of just ice and poured aluminum into it to get a sculpture. I thought by modifying this with a some water it could be great for inquarting. I hope you give it a try. It would be great to see if it works. ✌️
Hi, What is the name of the book you often use as reference. I know you have mentioned it before but I can't remember what video it was in. By the way I love you channel. I often hear my wife say "oh God not another refining video". Thanks for all that you do.
would the people who buy the gold from miners (such as the people on Gold Rush) use these methods or would they just melt the gold to get rid of any impurities?
@@sreetips from what I've seen and read you can purify gold if you melt it at a hot enough temperature I'm just not sure which method is easiest or what they'd use in like the Yukon when miners sell their gold
@sreetips have you seen the crystal galaxy silver bars that doing the rounds on social media.. so pure and shiny with blue crystal like structures.. polished to a mirror finish
I don’t need to, I’ve seen the blue crystal structure on my own pure silver bars. Except I don’t polish my bars. They have a mirror finish right out of the mold.
I didn’t use Amazon, got them on eBay. The thing about being that wealthy is: you’ve got to abandon it when you leave the earth. You can’t take it with you, and nobody gets out alive. We really do walk in the valley of the shadow of death.
Hey how are you, first I'd like to say thanks for teaching me so much, I have some pewter I would love to see you process the silver from it, sure wouldn't mind splitting the out come with you.
They use boric acid dissolved in denatured alcohol. Apply a drop to the joint being soldered, then ignite the alcohol with torch. The alcohol burns away, pre-heating the joint and leaving a coating film of boric acid that acts as a flux. A dab of gold solder paste is applied while it still hot, a chip of karat gold solder is added then the joint is heated and the solder connection is made. The boric acid flakes off and gets into the filings on the jewelers work bench.
Yelled as loud as I could: “Stannous Test”!! But you couldn’t here me again. Thank you for your videos.

So chill. A joy to see.
Would love to see you process a jewellers vacuum cleaner bag one day! They’re the hardest thing for us to incinerate and recover gold from :)
He uses a wet/dry shop vac. A bag vacuum would be better at trapping the gold dust.
That was a cool reaction with the finely divided gold particles and the nitric. Amazing what a change in surface area can do to speed up a reaction!

It may be different nowadays with the digital world we live in but have you ever recovered silver from the processing of radiographs?

@sreetips have you seen the crystal galaxy silver bars that doing the rounds on social media.. so pure and shiny with blue crystal like structures.. polished to a mirror finish
I have not
@sreetips search for scotsdale mint galaxy silver bars.. i want to know if its real.. if it is.. how did they get it like that
I don’t need to, I’ve seen the blue crystal structure on my own pure silver bars. Except I don’t polish my bars. They have a mirror finish right out of the mold.
No garage sales in the winter to find second hand burners... had to go out and give Jeff Bazos some green backs.
I didn’t use Amazon, got them on eBay. The thing about being that wealthy is: you’ve got to abandon it when you leave the earth. You can’t take it with you, and nobody gets out alive. We really do walk in the valley of the shadow of death.
Never boring process great yield
Hey how are you, first I'd like to say thanks for teaching me so much, I have some pewter I would love to see you process the silver from it, sure wouldn't mind splitting the out come with you.
I don’t think pewter contains silver. But I don’t work on other peoples material, only stuff we find at local sales.
Can you tell me why they would have sent you stuff with boric acid in it
Its a flux used in melting gold when manufacturing jewelry. Sweepings are going to have everything in it.
@@williamfoote2888 thanks
They use boric acid dissolved in denatured alcohol. Apply a drop to the joint being soldered, then ignite the alcohol with torch. The alcohol burns away, pre-heating the joint and leaving a coating film of boric acid that acts as a flux. A dab of gold solder paste is applied while it still hot, a chip of karat gold solder is added then the joint is heated and the solder connection is made. The boric acid flakes off and gets into the filings on the jewelers work bench.
Why don’t you ever refine gold using white gold? Are there some different properties to the metal that won’t allow it to be done like this?
White gold has the same amount of gold as yellow gold. Both are refined identical. I have a video on refining white gold
If you look at a Dremel tool kit you will see lots of colours of grinding wheels, so lots of colours of abrasive wastes are to be expected.
