  • In this video we delve into the depths of my secret gold mine to unlock the hidden treasure of gold and silver. We'll take you through the entire process of extracting precious metals from 18 sacks of ore. By using a jaw crusher, hammer mill, and shaker table we liberate the valuable metals from the ore. The shaker table does an amazing job concentrating the high-grade gold that can then be smelted down into gold and silver bullion. Next, witness the refinement and purification of the gold and silver using ancient techniques involving nitric acid and copper/silver cementation. Thank you @sreetips ! This video is your gateway to witnessing the entire process of underground gold mining and the transformation of raw ore into refined precious metals. Don't miss this extraordinary adventure into the world of gold and silver exploration! Subscribe to our channel and hit the notification bell to be the first to watch this remarkable video. Join us on this awe-inspiring journey from the depths of the mine to the gleaming brilliance of refined precious metals.

  • @redbaronrefining5322
    @redbaronrefining5322 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I would recommend 2 things Jason:
    1: you want to heat and then slowly boil your nitric acid with the alloy until there are absolutely zero fumes. This indicates there is little to no excess nitric acid. Another way would be to pour the hot nitric into a beaker with some sterling at a known weight in it. When you go to cement the silver, you can also weigh the sterling left to determine your silver yield.
    2: get some stannous testing solution and check your acid for precious metal content. Based off the color, you have either iron, palladium, or platinum in solution. The ideal way to have separated those would have been to add either HCL, or salt water to precipitate the silver out as a chloride instead of cementing all metals including silver onto the copper. Convert the chloride with some lye, stir until no color change (it’ll turn black) and slowly add sugar, mix and rinse very well, then melt.
    Last option if you cement the silver instead of precipitation is to boil it in HCL to rid of palladium as best as possible before melting. Add zing powder or aluminum, copper etc to the remaining solution to cement out the remaining pms and save for a rainy day.
    I love your video, and could only wish I could be there to watch, learn, and maybe even help with your final refining 😊

      None of these dissolve in nitric acid except for palladium and at a very slow rate. The intensity of the orange red color suggests there would be a high concentration of palladium dissolved in solution, which is highly unlikely. The orange red color comes from the reaction of silver dissolving in nitric acid. It would have eventually became colorless if he would have allowed the reaction to continue. Don't believe me? Nile Red has a great example of what happens when silver dissolves in nitric acid.

    The solution was most likely yellow from dissolved NO2 gas in the solution. Sometimes when distilling nitric acid from sulfuric acid and nitrate salt you get the same color, and that's what it is. Or it could be as you mentioned, traces of iron in solution.
    About the copper, you have the right idea with the tubing, but use a thick wall 2-3 inch pipe, or better yet a busbar. If you want more pure silver, convert it to silver chloride by adding HCL, then convert with Lye to silver oxide, finally add dextrose to reduce it to metallic silver. Done right, with plenty of rinsing you can achieve 999 fine silver. As an added bonus if you're very careful and add just enough HCL, you get perfectly usable nitric acid that you can use again for the next batch.

    To properly refine your silver, you need to finish the process by making yourself a silver cell and grow silver crystals in a solution of silver nitrate on a cathode using a DC power supply. The material you have so far is still including some copper and possibly some platinum group metals. I know, more sreetips videos to go through and a rig to build; but it appears he’s able to really mow through the silver shot to produce amazingly beautiful (and pure) silver crystals that can be melted down for 3 9’s fine silver.

  • @thems_the_brakes
    @thems_the_brakes 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Just a thought, but maybe you should either do episode numbers, or episode names, or something descriptive about what new technique you're testing? I lose track of which refining videos are ones I've already watched, and which are new, since you have like 100 refining and mining videos at this point. I think this leads to me skipping videos because I assume I've seen it, and/or assume it's exactly the same as a previous video (even though I know that's probably not true). I don't usually have time to watch the video and see if it's something you've already done, so will only watch if I am confident it's something I haven't seen.

    1. There is no reason to use precious copper to precipitate silver. This solution contains silver nitrate. When chlorine ion is added to a solution of silver nitrate, it replaces the nitrate with chlorine, forming insoluble silver chloride (a white precipitate). All you have to do is pour a solution with dissolved table salt into the silver nitrate solution and you will immediately see white insoluble silver chloride. When silver chloride is heated (or exposed to sunlight) the chlorine is driven off and it becomes elemental (metallic) silver.
    2. It almost looks like your nitric acid solution contained chloride. This has led to the fact that gold has also gone into solution. Chloroauric acid has formed. Chloroauric acid is yellow in color. As a chemist I can only recommend the book "Refining Precious Metal Wastes - Gold, Silver, Platinum Metals - A Handbook for the Jeweler, Dentist and Small Refiner (CM Hoke)".
    3. Just a little hint! The filter crucible you used is called the Büchner funnel. It is actually intended to filter solids with the help of a vacuum. For this you need a vacuum pump, a suction bottle, a rubber funnel holder and the round sheet of filter paper in the funnel.

    Nice to see another sreetips sub! That's why sreetips does his home-made electrolysis process to get pure silver after displacing with copper tubes.
    Another nice thing is that from the crusher to the shaker table you got basically a free Inquartation gold piece. You're just missing the steps of taking the base metals and the lead.
    I'm sure you will improve your chemical skills to turn ore into gold and silver.

    A great video ! @1:11:20 I probably would have chosen sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to dissolve the copper and silver aggregate, as Ag2SO4 has a very low solubility in water (0.83 g/l at 25C) and will precipitate out, while copper sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4*5H2O) has a solubility of 317 g/l at 20C and at 25C even higher. As a next step probably I would boil the Ag2SO4 with aqueous NaOH to form AgOH and Na2SO4 and from there either again HNO3 or other steps.
