- Hello viewers,
In this video, we are showing you how you can easily recover gold from electric circuit boards using household chemicals. Everyone knows that gold recovery is impossible without acids. And that's true. But what we can do is to reduce the use of acids up to 95% using this vinegar method.
Vinegar is easy to get and it reduces the risks.
So enjoy the video and don't forget to subscribe to our channel.

Despite all the negative comments, I'm just impressed with how little equipment was necessary to accomplish this. Outstanding! I have no excuse lol.
This video is an example of why the dislikes need to be visible. What's claimed to be made here is peracetic acid (this requires distilled white wine vinger and 5% hydrogen peroxide) which can dissolve copper (freeing gold). However it turns blue; not green. The green colour indicates the use of nitric acid (turns green when dissolving copper). Using peracetic acid on 500grams of mixed scrap would not only take a lot longer, but also work out a lot more expensive than simply using nitric acid. You would need bottles of hydrogen peroxide, also controlled item in most countries (it's not the same hydrogen peroxide you use for your hair, it's sold as teeth whitener or wound cleaner and is often restricted to one bottle per customer).
Peracetic acid is okay for smaller items (such as scrap sim cards/smart chips) but you will be wasting time and money trying to recover gold phone boards and mousepads as shown in the video.
Yep, been saying this since they started with this type of censorship. In Nazitubes quest to control the free flow of information they have now forced all off us to watch way more crap content when dealing with technical topics. All of us using this platform to learn technically complex things truly got the most screwed by their desperate censorship.
Thank you. "There is a God!!!!" 😊😊😊😊😊
And they were bare boards. Assembled boards would have almost all the gold absorbed by the solder joints.
there is a browser extention that shows the dislike count, I use it
@@bobrobertsNotUrBob what's the browser extension?
What the vinegar does in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and air (oxygen) is to oxidize and dissolve the more reactive metals, mostly copper, which has been plated with gold. The gold becomes minute flakes. It is important to keep chloride out of the vinegar and water or the gold will dissolve. Once the gold flaks are obtained methods other.than what the creator shows can be used to recover the gold.
It would be interesting to see what these other metals are. The solution is green not blue so something other than copper is there. It should have been tested for gold. Don't throw it away until you are sure. It may for instance contain nickel and or cobalt.
So where do I have this tested, please, and thank you for the educational post you've shared, really good work, thanks again!
Most work in a building while this man works on a scrapyard along with his professionalism...
i used to work in a recycling plant and i would take RAM and the CPU from old computers cause i knew it contained lots of gold i have 3 full box of them so i might try this i enjoyed video Thank you . "
Hi, very cool💪👍, I am also engaged
in the processing of gilding. and there are still
options for processing such boards, this
is a big problem.
Oh that's cool ! If I can get the chemical's I'll give it a shot ! I would just keep going with the 1st step adding fresh vinegar & more boards over and over a couple of months plus loads of boards and cheap vinegar then I would do the final chemical process, that would make it cost efficient. Very cool ! Inspired.
Well done, perhaps a little bit faster way is to take the gold into solution using a 50/50 mix of clorox and vinegar, until the gold disappears. 150 degrees F is faster perhaps an hour or so, filter and drop the gold with zinc, add zinc until the liquid turns mouse gray and let it sit. Zinc burns off at low temperature leaving your gold behind. The only problem is the process likes the platinum group metals as well but does not like silver.
Love to see a video and compare the two processes to see how they compare.
Thanks for teaching us how to waste time. Good job.
Thanks for the video. Never seen it done like this before. For all those saying more is needed? Nothing on earth only requires one thing to be done to it to retrieve something from it. The process to recycle something is never straight forward. I myself recycle copper and a few other things which I then invest that money into things that make more money :)
If I knew someone who did this I would give them all the boards I come across as taking them to a scrap yard is not enjoyable so they end up in the bin, as I do not have the time nor the resources available to extract the gold using the method in the video.
I did learn a few things from this video, thanks again.
✌️✌️
Don't throw them away! There's everything from silver and gold to palladium and tellurium! And stuff that can be really too toxic in the landfills, too. Please, please take them to the scrap yard, or list them as free to someone and they will be snapped up quickly!
lol send them to me if u want pls don't throw em away
@@mentallychallengeddolphin9677How much you pay for them?
Hallo bro ini Tutorial yang sangat luar biasa, good job brother 👍👍
The ingredients used, I think would be more expensive then the gold extracted
This man has time and knowledge…
And now a little more gold
the concept is great however the expense vs return would be unrealistic unless you get tons of scrap boards
I think the vinegar solution can be rejuvenated with a bit more hydrogen peroxide if this process is similar to the AP method.
But totally agree. You’d need hundreds of pounds of free boards to make the time investment worth it. That, and amount of AR used in this video could have processed like 5-10 times as much gold flakes as was done here.
When I refine gold, I never mix AR before hand. I always cover the gold with HCl, then add nitric a couple mL at a time since nitric is much more expensive. Which also reduces the amount of SMB needed because it’s not being consumed by free nitric in solution.
There are ways of making this process more cost effective.
You can do all that with out any chemicals . I watch a professional gold recovery expert , he runs his circuit boards through his rock crusher , recovers the metal and smelts is a few times , that’s it, Crush it , recover and smelt . Check out MBMM , on TH-cam if your interested in his recovery .
Mining/refining is all about economies of scale. Since most of the reaction is idle time, it makes sense to process about a 55 gallon barrel at a time. Back of the napkin math says that would be around 200lbs of boards with an expected recovery of around 3 ozt (your results may vary).
@@americanadventureoutdoors4213 I have to agree that would be more cost effective, this method seems fun for home but how much of the gold is really recovered?
@@americanadventureoutdoors4213 smelting and crushing is more expensive than vinegar by alot
I'm more impressed by your creative use of soda bottles.
LOL!! I thought the same thing when I saw that!!
Buen trabajo,hay que cuidar el hambiente y uno mismo tambien
You just need vinegar... And 100 other things...
I was trying to remember my chemistry during all this🤣 great job
🤣
Pretty cool it works simply whit mother nature and time. 😎👍👍❤️
All the negative comments are people who are looking to make thousands bro cause there are smart teenagers like me who do not have the resources for expensive chemicals just trying out something that could benefit my future
What this video shows is that many people don't understand nor fully think through a money-making scheme or endeavor to see if it makes sense before moving forward. Most people only imagine about how much money they think they will make until the reality of the effort, time, and sometimes money needed hits them upside the head, then they stop. If you don't value your time you will waste it.
Is there any other way to test for gold besides tin11 chloride please as it's very expensive in our country
I noticed gold flecks on the filter paper after the solution was filtered. What did you do with the filter paper, there must have been a fair bit of gold on that!!?
The amount of gold recovered would be the same if we use any other method?
Ben anladım ki sen sınırlı olanaklarda neler yapılabilir yapmışım dostum kireç at içine kaynat çok etkili mümkünse taş halinde kireç olsun i kendi kaynar,imkan varsa Başlangıcı HCl ve prokseid 12 procent veya daha yüksegi ile yapilsun daha iyi sonuç alırsın sonra içine çinko veya aleminyum oda yoksa demir tozu mümkünse cokertide sonra nitrikle temizle vesayee HCl yoksa, potasium hidro oksit ve hidrojen prokseit kullanılirsa buda etkili oluyor , emeğine sağlık
As of april 28, 2022 ,46 grams of gold is worth about 27.91. Long term, like years that could be a boost to retirement. Look for older computers, they have more gold in the cpu than newer PC's. That is tearing apart a lot of pc,s for a small return. It is cool to know how to do that. Can these be used on gold plated jewelry?
Great work as always! I have done this aswell, just to try it and it worked great! Pay no attention to the negative comments. I know you Brother because you helped me recover alot over the years.
I wish you lived next door to me!
We would have so much fun!
God Bless you and may all you days be Golden!
✌️✌️
The "negative comments" are telling you how to recover gold while wasting less money.
Amazingly easy and reliable gold recovery process, thanks for sharing.
✌️✌️💖
@@TrinityGoldRecovery you are a Bangladeshi
but not economical.
Easy???
Looks interesting and simple enough. My only concern is the toxicity of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid.. what preventions need to be taken when doing this?
Fume Hood, Acid resistant gloves and shoes. Face shield, etc. just don’t breath the stuff in and don’t let it make contact with you.
Отлично, коллега, удачи!
TRULY THANK YOU BLESSINGS
Okay what were you pouring into the solutions during the “heating.” I didn’t see where that was mentioned.
Can you use the hydrogen peroxide that is for skin it's 6%?
So the process costs more in materials than you got in gold, but still pretty cool.
Not necessarily, most tech repair shops tend to throw these chips away if they have been damaged; a lot cheaper that way if you gather from their waste.
Vinegar and hydrogen peroxide are cheap
All that for 10 cents of gold
You can make your own vinegar to lower costs.
@@freakindawgen it’s $25 assuming it’s 100% pure
Yeah great video i love science. But all that work for 0.5 grams. Thats only £20 is it really worth it.
But great channel 👍👍
Sick!!
If you did the same procedure again with thay .46 chunk of 22cy can you purify it further and get some 999 gold?
Is it possible using that procedure and chemicals ?
I know if you brought it back to solution with some HCL AMD HNO3 you can get it to 999 rigjt?
Thanks brother I’m just looking for a way to refine my Alaska placer gold it’s like 85% of you melt it to a bar so I’d like to get some 999 gold bars
However I’m looking for the safest way do do it at home without a nice lab setup and good to vennt the gasses etc
Thank you for the video and knowledge
At today's price of gold per gram, the slightly less than a half gram of gold recovered is worth about $25, more or less. Give the equipment, supplies, chemicals, and labor involved, I'd say this recovery process can EASILY make someone about 50 cents per hour if they are efficient. But making a 12 minute video that is viewed on You Tube by more than 1 million viewers, well now the monetizing of a video about recovering the gold can generate a much better return! The lesson from this video is making the video for You Tube will make you money! Recovering a tiny amount of gold from scrap circuit boards is a waste of time.
Very good, thank you.
Do you need to neutralize before pouring smb please reply
Interesting Vinegar and peroxide would dissolve metals but not gold.
I might try this with some scrap boards... I wont use acids though...
So he got $25.623 (U.S Dollars, calculating at current value of 22k gold for $1,890 per troy ounce). So the biggest take away from this video, is the process itself, not the amount of cash he was able to produce in this example, as we would need a considerable larger amount of recyclable materials, to extract enough gold & make it worth our while.. Thank you for the video, definitely learned something new today! 😊👍
Spent a month to retrieve $30 in gold! No way. Probably spent that in chemicals.
In come places you can not buy gold ,that is always a factor ,of if you buy it you need to show it pay it if sued there are many nations that restrict gold as USA did in past givin what they think you should get for it at the time
I believe Troy ounce is 3 grams larger . Does make a difference .
How long ago they said 8 years ,,,,gold when up and chemical cost is cheaper near source ,gold has been mind other places more as well
If he's in India that's probably a month's wages. Not trying to be funny but some of those people get by and pennies a day. That said, this is not a safe or inexpensive operation and is a waste of time.
What if you stop at the after the first draining of vinager and peroxide?
Easiest way I have seen. THANK YOU.
✌️✌️
exactly! thats what i was thinking. this is a very doable process
Very nice brother thank you very much Good information bro
Thanks buddy
Love that there are always smarter people than the EXPERTS
Judging by his lack of safety equipment (shoes) I wouldn’t consider him a professional.
Also cause he is probably in a poor country and has nothing better to do with his time….
would this work for gold plated silver jewelry?
Love the inorganic chemistry.....but the spot price of gold is currently $57.44US per gram.....and you got .46 grams to give $26.42.....That wouldn't cover your costs of materials here in the US.....
it's just only tutorial vlog to learning Beginner's
Hi, can I use the method of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide also for the cpu? I do not need to get gold at 24k but get on 18k. Answer me if you can, and thank you for the videos. Bye bye.
I torch my mud when its still wet. It doesnt blow away from the flame, and any acid residue left is quickly burned off. I rinse my mud in 2 hot Hcl baths, then 2 hot water baths. So i could do more, but times an issue when doing 10-20grams at a time. Im gonna make the BEST refining video for newcomers this summer. Soon as the temp outside is good, ill be processing karat scraps.

Güzel çalışma emeğinize sağlık 👍👍
process is very good, nice
I love the music it's nothing annoying or repetitive..
Thanks dear, My favourite also Clint Eastwood... Like it, thanks
How much would all the supplies cost?
The process will become profitable once gold prices reaches ten thousand dollars.
Nice work one of the best vids on simple gold recovery..... seems like alot of work for half gram wish there would be more.. expenses of chemicals and gas and tine seem to be almost same as cost of recovery
This is not for commercial application but just for fun!
Gostei muito dó seu canal é sou garimpeiro 🙏
The title is a bit misleading, it's way more involved than just vinegar.
I dought that, why would he be leaving that got this amount of time? Seems logical for the time duration! I guess you will have to try this and find out? I might somtime! I have faith even after all the non sence that goes on
It's the way of third world slave mentality, misleading, cunning, disrespect to other time
@@nathanmciver6496 no
Click bait
It’s true it does take a long time but it is worth it in the long run. I guess you just have to save it up and it’s not the only thing you get is gold as other precious metals also
I'm going to have a go at this 👍
Good luck Buddy ✌️✌️
Thankyou for a great solution to getting the gold out of chipboards.
But what is HNO3+3 HCI, SnCl2 & sodium metabisulfite?
& where do I find it?
& Am I even allowed to buy this stuff?
HNO3, HCL, H2SO4 are different types of acids. This acid will be needed to recover the gold. Sodium metabisulphite is a salt that separates gold from aqua regia. You can get these at your nearest chemical store. But before using them you need to know the basics of chemistry. Collect the book written by "CM Hooke" to recover gold and other precious metals. Which will help you recover gold.
@@TrinityGoldRecovery ok thankyou
If I'm gonna go through that much trouble , I'm using that one BB in my 12 Gauge Buckshot !!!
Question, Once the Vinegar has freed the gold foils and they are floating. Why not just strain them at that point and melt them? What is the benefit of further processing? Thanks!
good questions! Floating gold foils are not pure gold, thre are mixed with others base metal as cadmium, silver, nickel etc etc... so you can't directly melting those foils.. Thanks dear Murphy.
@@TrinityGoldRecovery can you process the other elements from the mix to get more profit
@@lesliesmith205 You could, but except for silver, the amount is not worth the effort.
This is what I learned, so much work and time for so so little. But educational a little.
If you melt it from the 1st step, what carat is it?i need help

Extremely labor intensive for such a small result.
Maybe not for someone living in India
What happens if you dehydrate the gold suspension when it is nano fine like after stripping?
Exactly what i want to know. Please give an answer.
jeez man you werent joking about the 15-20 days. im back here now to learn how to collect all the gold flakes they finaly ALL fell off
Hows everything going?
Canyon you just ese water and gravity on the second part? Instead of using that strong of accid.
Where did you get that heating unit? Did you make that? With that flat pan?
buy cheap acids from local shop and dont wate your time for 20 days :)
anyway keep up good work bro :)
This video was made for those who have to buy acids at a vary expensive price.
@@TrinityGoldRecovery keep up good work :)
I know nothing of this stuff.... But... If gold has a certain melting point.... Could you not just burn the coffee filter and melt what is there.... By using different heat lvls separate the gold from other inpurities?
Very nice result and with vinegar !! Run out of acids?? Hahaha ❤
Buddy I got unlimited supply 🤣.
The video was created for you guys 🥰✌️
At the start I was like ok, easy, but I soon was like, add what now, wait and that and that wait… wait… yeah na I ain’t doing that.
Great vid though
✌️✌️😵
Nice video, thanks for sharing :)
Man thats alota chems smelting the gold would be easyer right? Insted of chem melting
very nice..thanks😍👍
No need for all them chemicals , crush recover metal and smelt a few times that’s all you need to do . Watch MBMM if your interested in his process .
Question whats the cheepest way to recover gold from these scraps
That seems counter productive ta me...a lot of work for a small payout.....
How did we go from viganar to every chemical from the lab. I think it would be easier to cook meth
Ya need more than vinegar to catch that leprechaun! 😆 🤣
Will it harm the gold if you leave it in for a lot longer time)?
I Don't think so
To all the people putting up these negative comments; did you never do something when you were a kid that was a complete waste of time, but it was fun. I reckon this is just a bit of fun. Lighten up.
All that time, work, and cost of chemicals for about $30 worth of gold. And if you paid for any of the machines that you salvaged circuit boards out of, you would probably be in the red. Still, very interesting to see and learn about.
The stubborn gold plated, can we also add few table spoon salt in order to create better result ?
Yes, good idea for better results
what about sn and pb? ideal conditions are shown here:)
Hell of a tool! 🤓🙏
banaane ke lie karate ho
is this your job or do you do it to make simple videos
Can you fo this with a gold ore about 2% ?
Seems like its more work than worth
The black sediment is also gold but that is what you get from gold flashing and sometimes from plating
At $1800/ounce, that's just over $26 in gold recovered. I'm sure it cost more for the reagents than it was worth. Need larger scale to make it worth while. that's also not including all the time/labor it takes.
You are calculating 24 carat value. This was 22 carat.
@@SilverSergeant I assumed since he refined the gold from liquid it would be pure. That means it's worth even less.
So you spent how much in chemicals to retrieve how much in gold?
Wait gold can react to other elements? I was taought it rarely reacts to anything.
I get lost when you use chemicals I wouldn’t know where to find or maybe cost more then the profit. A very kind question- why use the chemicals after the coffee filter procedure? I the gold was visible and in a bunch. Maybe a few rinses and that’s it, or is it a process that MUST be done?
That is to get rid of impurities which also remained in the filter, by dissolving all and precipitating only the gold you get rid of those.
There must be a cheaper way to recover than this. When you cost the chemicals used a the cost of disposal of them , it can never be worth it. A very interesting video nonetheless.
Yeah- just burn(melt) it all, like they do in 3rd world. Gold (the heaviest) will be at the bottom. wear a respirator
@@harold3287 just melting it all together wouldn't gain anything because gold and copper forms an alloy so it would still need processing.
Did you feel it was worth the effort and cost for a $27 return (29/4/22)? You'd still need to dispose of the spent chemistry and board waste afterwards.
Indians don't dispose of anything, they just toss it in their closest lake lol
You forgot to mention… hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and sodium metabisulfite.
lol i was thinking this the whole video.
Did be add those cems? Or is that the tech term for these mixture?
sodium metabisulfite. you can easly get from a home brewing shop
How much for the boards how much for the Chemicals how many Hours of your time? $50 worth of Gold?
What is the total financial investment per gram of gold?
