    This part is located at the hard disk reader's access point. With the main circuit board It is a signal cable Of the hard disk read head.
    I think all of this should be used as a component of more than 50000 hard drives.

In the final stage you pouring for melting in furnace there use the cone so you material fall staright in and no loss. Just suggestions

    That is worth a lot of money my friend. Well worth the effort. You can add some ice cubes, preferably made from distilled water to the beaker if you need to keep it cooler and calm down so it doesn't overflow. Good job. That little tiny nugget of gold is worth at least $130 if it's 22 karat gold and $140 at 99.9% fine pure gold.

  • @Chewligan
    @Chewligan 5 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Nice to watch a clear and concise method. I guess if you have the right chemicals and equipment this can reap some rewards. Depends on the purity outcome I suppose. This may sound stupid but when you had chemically removed the tiny gold strips at the very beginning 04:10 could you not just throw those gold strips straight into the crucible?

    • @kreecha4409
      @kreecha4409 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      At that point they are gold alloys, low purity not really worth much, the following steps are leaching and solvent extraction steps which remove all the impurities chemically, i may be wrong but when he puts it in the crucible i believe the gold is in an oxide form and he is simply reducing it to pure gold.

    I love these videos but the one thing I always wonder in any is what do you do with all your waste chemicals. Like once you rinse everything over and over I see you pouring it into a white bucket but how do you dispose of all this after product while you walked away with a gold nugget. can you dilute it enough with water that you can dump it or does it have to be sent somewhere because if they charge I bet that's not cheap

    • @chrisgschwind7344
      @chrisgschwind7344 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      These chemicals are acids and can be neutralized using bases. The sulfuric acid can be neutralized by a weaker base like sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), while the stronger nitric acid would require a much more basic compound such as sodium hydroxide, or lye, a common soap ingredient. Both are common and readily cheap. Once neutralized, the solution is rendered inert and is harmless.

    • @ChristopherJones16
      @ChristopherJones16 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also chemicals can be added to these solutions to separate the chemicals. Sometimes you will have to create a new solution of the old solution by adding another chemical which makes it easier to separate the chemicals after and then once you separate them you can reuse them. Although sometimes they’re not as potent. Isn’t chemistry awesome?

      1) The chemicals used are VERY cheap... to do this size batch probably cost him about $30
      2) None are prohibited and can be purchased at any local chemical supply house
      3) unknown but a little research on ebay shows them to be sub 5k in cost
      4) Free.... you can dumpster dive for thrown out computer parts or in many many cases make deals with companies to recycle their old computers/parts... for which the company gets a tax write off
      When you figure that the 1 nugget he showed is worth approx. $3500... I call that profitable after the 2nd nugget.

    You should add a small amount of sulphuric acid to bind to the tin/lead, might give you an extra 9. Also if it's grey on the surface after removing it from the kiln - that means you have impurities.. it should be shiny gold.

    Nice to see your extraction process in its entirety .... so the last 1/2 of the video was doing basically the same thing as the first, but just in smaller quantity/containers? Why not collect/produce the sediment completely then melt it all at once? So the sediment was basically pure gold and you just melted it? Or does the melting process burn off something in the sediment? Be interesting in seeing the Redux equations to understand the chemical reactions happening.

      Obviously you did not understand my point. As you can see from the video (if you have noticed of course) the metal fragments that are stuck on the magnet are not that easy to remove by hand. Neither tweezers. Obviously.
      If you wrap the magnet with cling film or another membrane you can prevent them from sticking onto the magnet and thus you can remove the cling film, which will then remove most of the bits stuck on the magnet. Clean magnet at the end? I guess.

    We once did this in school and we recycled like 7 old phones and got gold worth like 0.1€ or less. To mention most of the gases that look brown are highly dangerous to humans. They are a chemical result of acids mixed with metals or plastic. You won’t get much gold if you try this as modern phones don’t have a lot of gold. Selling copper cables is much more efficient.

    You can put the hydrochloric directly in with the foils and then slowly add Nitric to create the aqua regia. The nitric you add will get used up as it puts gold into solution. When the reaction slows, add a bit more nitric. Keep going till all the gold foils are in solution. Premixing aqua regia will often result in excess nitric in solution.
