Easy DIY Gold & Silver Refining Process At Home, No Acids. Remove Base Metals By Cupelling MBMM
Gold & silver refining using the cupelling process for removing base metals (copper, lead, iron, antimony, zinc, etc) from our smelted gold buttons. This process works on silver as well as platinum, palladium, and other precious metals, too. This is an ancient process that has been used since the bronze age for removing base metals from precious metals. It is inexpensive, low tech, low skill and works very well for getting refined gold and sliver with very little contamination. Using only lead, portland cement, and a torch the base metals are heated, oxidized, and removed from the precious metals by the cupel. It is a great way to take your smelted gold, silver, precious metal buttons and increase the purity of the precious metals with very little work or effort.

So just use cement barrier gold in then lead on top, melt to refine it. This video has been helpful, Thank You!

Thanks Jason. Very informative... your channel is awesome. Subbed.
thats just so amazing. i guess thats how most did it in the old days! well, if i ever need to refine gold, you can be sure i'm going to do it this way
As a person that used chemicals etc to extract and refine..... I’m going to change over to this process. Thanks for sharing and educating me
Well done, Jason! In addition to Portland cement (calcium oxide) you could use ground glass or calcium phosphate (available as a fertilizer or bone meal) or crushed magnesite. The problem with using glass is that gold is soluble in molten glass just like lead oxide is. If you were to use bone meal fertilizer, you would first have to burn off all the left over organics like fat which smells bad and smokes a lot. If you used copper as the collector metal while processing the original gold button, you may find a lot of copper remains distributed throughout the final gold button (to be determined with a quick x-ray analyzer). Gold and copper form a pretty strong marriage if inadequate amounts of flux are used. I wish more video authors discussed gold ore processing options like you have done so people wouldn't expose themselves to mercury, vaporized lead, cyanide, nitric acid, and a bunch of related compounds that form during the processing. Again, I must say: "Well done, Jason!"

If we have a lot of other base metals like iron and copper and the lead content is quite high shall we use industrial propane burner instead of ancient wood and blower?
Qouted = Portland cement is the most common type of cement in general use around the world as a basic ingredient of concrete, mortar, stucco, and non-specialty grout. It was developed from other types of hydraulic lime in England in the late 19th century by Joseph Aspdin, and usually originates from limestone

Great video and exactly what I need. Is a stainless steel bowl required or can other types of bowls be used? The final piece of gold is what “k” weight? Thanks so much.
Do you recover the lead from the cement afterwards? How do you safely dispose of the lead tainted cement?
i like everything the way you did this! very instructive video! I'm just wondering what is the purity of gold in the end as a percentage? thanks in advance and keep up the videos!
Great video! Question, is there a ratio of gold to lead to do this? Also, how long does it take for the lead to absorb into the concrete powder?

hi Master, what kind of Portland cement do you use for gold cupellation? type 1-2-3-4-5?
How long was your first melt before the lead disappeared? Thanks
Could you show how to "cement " gold onto copper in a furnace? I would be so grateful. P.s. thank you for uploading this video.
❤❤شكرا لك. ❤❤
Do you use less or more lead depending on the weight/purity of the gold? Say i have a gram of 10k what would be the lead recipe? And was there a certain attachment on the propane tank to have a "furnace effect"
Please advise: Are you able to use the cupellation process with gold filled jewelry? would I need to melt the GF jewelry first to make a button then add lead to start the process? I just need to know the process please.
What temperature do I need to keep the gold for it to do it’s thing? How long on average does it take? Great video!
work this also in an melting furnance ? if i put the cement in the Graphit crucible ?
Nice
Does the magnesium cupel work better than Portland cement, if so how much better?
How do you allow for o2 to enter this wool structure? + how long does it take? great videos though!!
Awesome!!! will this work with placer gold?
So it doesn't matter the furnace source as long as u have the right cupel material? So u can use bone ash cupels in a normal smelting furnace? Or do u need to have a certain furnace heat source?
great vi Jason ....would use magnesite or Bone ash for the cupel.....better absorption . Litharge might be easier to use as well. Beautiful chunks of Shiney ...... keep up the great work my friend.

Can u give me a detailed way of removing all metals from ic chips ,from incineration state to final gold in hand ,I'm kinda new at this want to learn I,have everything needed to do chem way or melting or cupellation method ,I am doing the electronics gold recovery
there are 5 types of Portland cement in my country and I do not know which type is suitable for gold couplling. Please answer my questions. 1-2-3-4-5 ??? Which type do you think I should use ???
My question. At which point do yiu end the process. I was unclear on at the point when this is completely liquefied, as it cools, the gold and the impurities are seperated? And finally, is there a specific formula on how much of the pre-cut metal you need for x amount of Gold? You cut about 140 grams, how did you arrive at that figure?
the final buttons are a mix of gold and silver? what karat are the buttons?
So what’s the ratios to gold weight to how much lead to add
Great video. I am ur new subscriber.
