Are you South African by any chance Mr???
How much were these little chip things before u got the gold from them
You should pop all three lumps of gold together and moult them into little bar
Easy process I'll start doing this right away in my spare chemistry lab
Are you in Italy? Ahahahahahah
If this were taught in science class, maybe I would have taken an interest in chemistry.
This, or anything practical.
This is taught in chemistry classes when teaching about aqua regia
I agree! They teach a bunch of boring stuff that no one actually needs to know.
just doing any experiments at all is a bonus. instead of only being allowed to watch the teacher do stuff because the rest of the classmates couldn't be trusted
@@darkracer1252 At least you could watch a teacher doing some stuff. We've had one or two laboratory classes in 4 years of high school. Some students can't be trusted for sure, but they should've made some sort of selection and let those interested in chemistry practice a bit in a lab.
I have never seen anything like this...I had no idea gold would turn into something that looks like mud, then back into gold again via chemistry. I thought you were just gonna melt the stuff you strained, which was cool enough in itself. You're a regular alchemist!
It basically is mud. Gold mud. If you had clear buckets full of this mud and a robber came to your house they would never suspect it. ;D
The gold turned into black slime, then mud, then coco powder, then gold again ;o
Lol best comment here
Gotta love chemistry.
his hands are acid proof ..leave the guy alone will ya
Science
As much as I watched this fact, realised this fact, and was blown away. Reading this comment was a chuckling reality slap.
Coco powder to gold, suhn.
Place your magnet inside of a plastic bag before using it to "separate" materials. Then when you want to clean off your magnet just remove the bag.
That was awesome
@@MakeGold ...thought you'd like that.
Best thing to do, wrap your magnet with plastic food wrapper..
Brilliant
Brilliant idea
I am pretty sure anyone who can chemically extract Gold from industrial waste, can also produce 99% pure meth xP
You can make twice to triple is much as you would get from gold 🤣😂😭, think about it man it's probably less work also
@Ceygar 🤔 that's not a bad idea sir, that is the best way to launder money
yeahhh... not even close to the same process, are normal people really that fucking dumb or is it just you?
@@lilBabyBornInCalifornia wait. Does that mean you're an abnormal person?
@@supremeleadersmaug4024 with the average iq around 85-100 i would say, no im not a normal human. im actually capable of deep thought...
In today's value the 1st nugget is worth over 3400 dollars.....impressive
is it really worth all that effort i mean by the time you buy all that raw materials for recycling
@@funnypets5221 if the nugget is pure gold , it most certainly is cost effective because those chemicals are not expensive.
i doubt that the electronic was very expensive.
if the nugget is really worth 3400 dollars , it is really worth the work and chemistry is fun imho
you dont know the karat, so you don't know that.. cringe
ik i looked it up to
im amazed
@@funnypets5221 yes because all that material is really cheap
Chemistry is absolutely amazing! I can’t believe you got gold out like that. That was incredible man. Great job!
it's just a matter of solubility , simple stuff really.
@@crankykong9557 what if he identifies as a white, you should assume someones race
@@crankykong9557 are certain people not allowed pride? that seems a bit old fashioned...
Considering he started with a bunch of gold stuck to another material... like shiney fucking gold reflecting in a heap of chips right before your eyes... and you not expecting gold in the end... leaves you on thee worst end of the spectrum.
@@TheCervelas simple stuff loll you couldnt do that. stop boastful
I worked at a recycling depot that let us take stuff home and I always thought how cool it would be to take all the gold from the processors and melt it down. I really should have done it hahaha
What a mind one side he get money from TH-cam and other from gold.
The TH-cam is subsidizing the gold.
He just got a whole season of that goldiggers show worth of gold just like that
about 2000$
How much did he pay for the materials and the chemicals? Most places don't just give away scrap that contains three ounces of gold.
Lol

Oddly satisfying at the end where the gold looks like dirt, and then when the dirt gets heated up, it turns to gold. I wish that happens to the dirt in my backyard.

@@erikbretter4770 I've never witnessed such stupidity
That was an amazing process description with demo. Since gold is heavy you can use centrifuge machine to get it settled and separated. One more thing Instead of cloth have you tried ready coffee filters. You might loose fine material in cloth and cotton. 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
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?
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.

Chemistry at its Best! It will take me a whole year to learn in the university what i just learnt here in this video in just 20 mins
All that stuff must taste quite good. TH-cam recomended it to me as a cooking Video.
RetroProGamer at the middle to laat part pf the video you could see a chocolate drink recepi😂
russians do eat it quite often
That sounds like a lot of fun. Time to get glittery
Do you require e-waste scrap? We can provide you that from countries like India, Pakistan and China.
Really impressive never seen any video of gold like this...
This is the simplest process I've seen on U Tube on how to retrieve gold for computer parts. Thanks for sharing
chemistry class should teach practical and applied chemistry...
but it does already
@Sketchy Stuff i don't know about the usa, but here in germany we watch an video for every top, like last week about corrosion and how it is used in the industry etc.
@Sketchy Stuff yeah im at the moment in 12 grade ^^
They do, you have to pay attention and be creative.
@@matagatos1 exactly
Interesting methods, fun to watch
Why did I thought that this video will be about "How to do this at home" kind of vibe :X
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.

awesome work getting such a valuable and non-renewable material from waste that would have entered a landfill.
Me : Regretting for skipping chemist class back in school days
Just what i was thinking
You did not miss anything.
School is not TH-cam.
prannoy tej umm what??
They dont teach you useful information like this.
They didn't teach this.
Great nursery rhyme video.
Gotta love the background music. Sounds more like it belongs on a video about making possum pie than extracting gold from scrap.
Lmao
What I would want to learn :
School : hey, how bout learning some other stuff?
Congratulations the TH-cam algorithm has chosen you 😂
Fascinating a modern day alchemy sub and watching more.

it cell worked hard and trend it on social media by blaming/making fun on the speaker.. and people like u never think by own.. such people trust every msg they got delivered whether it is correct or not. i hope you guys will start using your brains soon!! 😂😂😂😂
thank you for the great video. very informative. will not be loosing anymore precious metals from now on.thanks
Was it worth the trouble? Like all the equipment and chemicals must be expensive, do you make any money out of it, or do you at least break even?
That's a TON of computers to break down, than you inhale all those chemicals, a total waste!! Meanwhile 3rd world countries watch this and poison villages for the same yield and not giving a damn about the environment or human health.
Wow you know your chemistry. If I could find someone that's getting rid of a bunch of computer components that have gold in them and I follow the same process I could be rich
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
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.
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?
Well done Human👍👍🏻👍🏿
In a nutshell: I used (x) chemical in (y) gold solution to make the gold settle to the bottom.
But can you make tea from the leftover liquid?
*hOld my beeR*
Kitty Talk yes very good chemically tasting tea if you are into that😂
Gold bong water
a very expensive yet last tea you woyld drink! bling bling!!
Yes, definitely. I suggest trying it.
What were the devices and how many to get that much gold ?
I drifted away slowly, realizing he is just a TH-camr. Like if you felt same.
Imagine how much gold you would have gotten had you rinsed the containers!
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.
so what else do you cook using those equipment..
Jared Moone
YOU ARE GOD DAMN RIGHT!!!
Meth.
Jesse we have to cook
Science bitch
Yeahhhh, Mr.White
Thank you for the lesson.. I really like it.
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.
Amazing video, Helped me alot. Thank you
I enjoyed your video you're very thorough about every step you take I love chemistry and I love this video keep up the good work
This video is pure gold !!
And dont forget to dump the used chemicals to river for maximum profits
Not sure if funny or sad...
@Carleton Rutherford How about not
It's an organic acid, so it should be fine. Right?
lol
@Holly T IMO this is already a stale meme.

@That one friend that genuinely enjoys Rick Astley caught in a landslide
@@anteikuspanda4194 no escape from reality
@@anteikuspanda4194 Open your eyes
Non-toxic Clique lol 😂
things to think about..
1) cost of chemicals
2) obtain-ability of said chemicals.
3) cost of the forge and the crucible used
4) cost of the scrap parts being used.
just a thought, this should be noted and then subducted in its process.
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.
@@9753flyer most cities have at least in the US have civil codes against burning thrash/electronics. hazardous fumes that are detrimental to the environment in exchange for a few ounces of unrefined gold
@@danielvillalpando2819 Only when you are commercially refining or going over weight limits.
Same principal as you can brew your own beer without running afoul of the ATF, but only up to certain amounts.
Same with smelting/refining.
Brilliant. Very interesting. Thank you. 😉👍
Congrats on being a chemistry boss! YOu are awesome
Cool video, awesome skills, I might have learned something, BUT, the whole time I was really banging my head to the banger soundtrack on the video lmfao
Not to mention a little bit of change to make your own TH-cam man awesome definitely worth it when I said it was like 30 bucks an hour impressive
Make the magnet reusable by wrapping it with a few layers of cling film.
Chris Ingram
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.
Does this sound for a 10 year old now buddy?
My bad
That's impossible cause cling film came from the future and we all know what that means.
That’s very cool. Thank you.
I wanna know how you managed to get the "waste" product. Most facilities send the left overs to a recycling plant for this very same purpose. Did you just waltz in and asked "hello. I was curious if you had any gold plated waste products i could have." Lol
I wanna know too lol
You can buy them online even ebay I believe lol or you could email a bunch of companies asking to buy there scrap sure you could find some
He offered cash
at the end of the first stage after soaking the pieces in nitric acid, where you have the gold in the pyrex.... is there a reason you don't just melt THAT in a crucible and maybe sprinkle borax powder ?
Diallo Khari I thought the same...
That was my thought as well, why not just melt the gold flake, I guess for better purity maybe.
i thought the last part was making some kind of a wasabi sauce as a bonus video
Nice turbuillon at the start
Your voice ehco man sounds like something out of The Wizard of Oz
How many old computers, etc., did it take to get as much scrap as your video started with? 81.4 Grams plus the other gold recovered makes this worth about $4000. Not a bad haul even if it took a few months to put together.
i hope that you kept all solutions and wastes for future refinement (because you were using household items in the process, you probably left some gold in wastes)
That's so cool!it's crazy how much gold you extracted from that process!
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.
That is why he put it in an acid mixture afterwards. It dissolved any remaining impurities after melting
Change the title into :how to make gold from soil
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.
I tried this today and ended up making dark brown gold.😟
Maybe u should ask a professional for help or tutorial
Abhi Sheik nice one, try more u will be getting it
I get those in the morning. And flush them away though..
@@Simonsiempie You should make some nice jewelry with it. :-P
that magnet looked like a brake pad
Man. All these color liquids. I love them. I could drink them
That nugget is worth $4,600. Very impressive from just left over electronics
Not even close.
Pyromania Radio USA why would it not be pure?
this is probably about 14 karat gold because ot didn't stick to the magnet so its from 14k karats and up so at worst 81×24 euros(27 dollars) it costs 1.944 euros
I’m genuinely curious but the tiny gold flakes... couldn’t you just put all that into the induction heater and make a big nugget out of that?? Or is the process done to purify it?
I wanted to know that too...
The 81 gram piece alone is worth about $2,500 USD
@Carleton Rutherford depends on quality
Ya but he only got 2.3 grams in the end after fefineing didnt he
@@slader-hl1kk no, the 2.3 grams are from gold leftovers of the aqua regia used in the first process, so he ends up with two pieces of gold

Remember you have to be smart to do this process, rappers aren't qualified LOL
It pretty amazing - something from nothing, but considering the knowhow, chemicals and equipment required, not feasible for most.
The 1st 81 grams if we say it's the lowest purity = more than 1150 usd in today's price.
A lot more than 1150
I dare say you certainly did that rather well, I have a bit of odds and ends of old plated jewelry I will send you that mummy told me that I could experiment upon them at leisure what with the club being closed for the Covidio 9 thingie.

Is there a reason the gold has to be dissolved and reconstituted? Why couldn't you melt the gold after the first process of removing it from the scrap pieces?
@Revolting Swan I think I am answering my own question, but I think if we melt the gold then if there was other metals that the gold was plated on the gold itself would become an alloy then becoming maybe impossible to seperate.
I think that he made coffee from gold
Why drink gold coffee what u get is it good for health?
Actually I was thinking, a very smart way to hide a large amount of gold in your house, is buying a small clay pot, fill it with large quantity of that dried gold dirt that looks like coffee, put a fake pastic flower on top of it and place that camouflaged gold in a pot on a shelf or something, somewhere visible, but high enough so that no one will bother touching it. A small pot filled with that brown gold dirt will probably go around few ten thousands of US dollars, and ironically nobody will steal a pot with dirt and fake flower.
Gayest idea ever
Fastest way to become a millionaire! xD
Ok here's my questions: how much did all the materials costs to produce the gold, and how much was the gold worth in the end?
Please let us know the answer for this question thx
