    Wow, cool process and it sure transformed that nugget. I would definitely freak out to find one a 1/4 that size. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care. Wishing you an amazing new year.

    do you need to use a stainless steel pot/pan when heating the lye?

    The gold in quartz has a greater value as a gem than as the gold nugget inside. Counterproductive.

    Is it hydrofluoric acid or hydrochloric acid ?

    • @WorldScienceTV
      @WorldScienceTV  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      this is lye (sodium hydroxide) not acid the same thing you use to make soap. hydrofluoric acid will dissolve silica and those are your only two options

      @@WorldScienceTV Thanks for the reply . I understand that you used lye to dissolve the quarts, but near the end of the video you used 1 oz hydrochloric acid to clean/neutralize the nugget. I just wanted to verify . Also I noticed they solution was hot when you added the 1oz of hydrochloric acid , is this right.
      Thank you !

    • @WorldScienceTV
      @WorldScienceTV  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You first off never pore acid into a base. At this point in the video there was almost no lye left in the liquid. Only the nugget in clean water heated in a well ventilated area with your lungs at a safe distance hot acid is bad very very bad. And yes about 1 ounce

    If you use sulfuric acid at the end, you will have silica sand

      Interesting fact. At this point the lye and silica should be mostly rinsed away. Thank you for your input
