It always left me so puzzled why anyone would even think about making an instructive video that leaves steps out or fails to give proportions.

Ummm. I'm guessing that what was left out was the importance of having a detailed understanding of the chemistry and the methods chemistry uses to carry out such reaction safely. Without those fundamentals, people are very like in danger of blowing themselves up or damaging themselves and others with powerful acids and such. In short, I suggest that LOTS of steps were left out. Still, I found it fascinating to watch.

We were doing it on an industrial scale, reclaiming gold and silver from aircraft parts. I still have the stamps and tools for marking the bars we sold. Thanks for detailing the process.

I was reorganizing my storage unit one day and this old gentleman camw by to his storage unit next to mine (I think he mentioned he was turning 89 in a couple of weeks as we started talking). I moved my stuff out of the way so he could get to his unit. Lo and behold he had thousands of computer parts from the 1980s and 90s. He used to run a mainframe business. Anyway, I helped him put some “important” stuff into his car and I asked him if I could have any of the containers, never mind the parts. He told me to o take all of them. So I did and put them into my storage unit. I think I have roughly 60 pounds of these beautiful gold-plated connectors and chips lying around.

Honestly young lady, I'm a semi-retired roofer and life long scrapper, and even I have been saving computer boards, pins, prong strips of CPU's and every other type of gold in those boards, hard drives, keyboards, and cell phones (older) as well as conduction wires/ flat banding (which is pure gold wire) - for the past 20 years! The scrapyards I use actually pay you by weight for the very "cards" we just watched him process and have for the past 2 decades. Without coming off too condescending, if you "repaired" computers all that time, ( assuming you were physically dissecting and assessing the internal components with voltmeters, etc... What did you think all those bright yellow shiny things of those components are? Brass? While brass is used for many things, gold has always been the highest conductive metal occuring naturally in nature, far beyond aluminum, copper, or any others except for this new age of graphene (super conductors,) which are manmade in a lab. It's ok, it's never too late to start saving them and now you know!- high end stereo systems are loaded with them as well as basically all types of electronic equipment we see thrown away every day, and ONCE YOU START COLLECTING THEM --It adds up QUICK! I have buckets and gallon ziplock bags full of them. Even if you don't process them right now or by yourself, they are the same as "💲in the bank!" Happy hunting 💲

Phillip, Very interesting. I would urge you to emphasize the importance of protective gear in doing many of these processes. It would seem that at a minimum, eye protection, hand protection and a chemical mask. You are practiced and obviously competent but people unfamiliar with chemistry will lack these skills. Perhaps a short video on emergency accident neutralization.

First; this was a well documented and interesting intro to modern gold extraction and purification. Thank you. Second; All these Safety Sallies telling you to get PPE when you didn't need it. I handled HCl for years as a pre-teen child to burn my own warts off (real HCl from a laboratory, not COTS compound-w). My goal was to slowly burn part of my body away, which hurt, and I needed to repeat this hurt until it REALLY hurt (meaning the roots were killed and it was time to pull the whole wart out). So? Life hurts, Sallies. Get a dry diaper, and deal with it.

still a pretty bar.... man, about 35 years ago I was in electronics school and my uncle was an accountant, gave me one of the first Burroughs Desk type computer. It had I think about 80 square ceramic CPU chips, many boards and components and I am sure it was full of gold. If I only would have known.....would have been nice to have for retirement. Thanks for the video !

Hey, I like the set up. I’ve been collecting computer boards for now and finally began to process em all. I ran into trouble with step 2. I’m using HCl and bleach but I don’t think that makes a difference when precipitating; however I’m sure I either didn’t use enough stump out or I didn’t add it correctly. Do you have a good estimate as to how much you used.. maybe in grams possibly in containers? Also it’s just distilled water for that solution right?

Just keep adding the SMB until it's all dropped. It may take multiple doses of a saturated solution in distilled water. Once you see SMB crystals building up at the bottom of your container. You have probably added enough.

I should have realised by the length of the video that extracting gold from computers wasn't going to be a five minute job. I'm not sure I have the patience for this but thanks it was really informative!

Chemists job...with thorough knowledge.

Hi, I really enjoyed your video!I was wondering what the average density of the gold after extraction? Also does this depend on the process as well as the initial material used?

@philipbender956

It's about 19 times denser than water. I used "gold fingers" I purchased at auction off of eBay in this extraction.

Do you mean purity? Using extracted gold would have the same density as any other gold it is gold, No matter what gold you extract its density has 19x more density then water 💧. > So what is the purity before and after extraction.. can the process effect purity (yes btw). If I'm wrong I'm wrong just thought the comment was mistaking what the person was trying to ask. Lol

What would the difference be between extracting gold straight from components and extracting gold from a bar of melted cpu pins? Would aqua regia dissolve one of these bars the same way it would dissolve the gold foils or would it be a different reaction since there may be traces of other metals in the bar?

Thank you for sharing. Very informative - I only wish I had paid more attention in chemistry class!

Same here! I was a laboratory professional for 35 years. We were never allowed to handle, pour or mix acids or alkaline solutions without wearing nitrile or thick rubber gloves, protective apron, face mask/respirator and face shield. Acid burns are not fun on any part of the skin or face.

The professional gold refining process is done differently: Important: to carry out all stages of the process under a powerful forced air exhaust !!! Or outdoors outdoors. 1. Put the parts into a clean stainless steel bowl. 2. Place the bowl so that it is convenient to heat from below with an open flame until it burns out completely and turns the parts into ashes. 3. Pour the ashes of the parts into a quartz glass chemical flask, fill with dilute sulfuric acid and heat until the chemical reaction stops completely. 3. Carefully drain the solution and thoroughly rinse the precipitate with plain water. 4. Dry the sediment in a stainless steel bowl. 5. Prepare "aqua regia", to do this, mix 1 part of concentrated nitric acid with 3 parts of concentrated hydrochloric acid and leave to "ripen" for 20-30 minutes, as a result, an orange-red color should appear in aqua regia. 6. Pour the dried precipitate from PC parts into a chemical flask made of quartz glass, pour the precipitate with "royal vodka" two or three centimeters above the dry sediment, chat and put the flask to heat up until the solution boils. 7. After the termination of the chemical reaction, cool the solution and pour water into the flask in the ratio - 1 part of the solution plus 2 parts of water. 8. Stretch a dense 100% cotton fabric over a bucket or a large plastic bowl, fix the fabric around the circumference with adhesive tape. 9. Pour all the solution and sediment onto a cloth so that the solution flows into the plastic container. In the process, stir the solution on the cloth and add 1-2 more parts of water in portions to rinse the sediment well. 10. Place a plastic container for at least 24 hours to completely settle the sediment on the bottom, so that the solution becomes absolutely transparent yellow-green. 11. Very carefully pour the solution into another container, try not to shake the sediment, then the sediment can be thrown away, all the gold has dissolved in the solution like sugar or salt in water. 12. Pour some very hot water into a clean container, about 100 grams, then pour Hydrazine Hydrate into this water, the proportion must be calculated in advance like this: for one gram of expected gold, one milliliter of Hydrazine Hydrate. And after that, immediately pour the entire solution of gold into a container with hot water and Gdrazine, stir after 5 minutes with a plastic or wooden stick. Leave for 24 hours for the gold to settle to the bottom of the container, do not shake. 13. After the gold has completely precipitated, drain the liquid and pour several liters of very hot water, stand until a precipitate forms, do this several times, then rinse with cold water. 14. Drain all the water, transfer the sediment to a stainless steel bowl and heat until the sediment is completely dry. 15. Mix the sediment with borax, put it in a fireclay crucible and fuse it into one ingot. It will be 999.9 gold. All chemical reactions of this process can be extremely harmful to health - be careful, use a special respirator if possible.

Well, all that sounds so wonderful and stuff that is the old-school method of doing it. The gold can now be processed within 12 hours with more up-to-date processes that are more economically friendly, as well as environmentally friendly. Number two the .999 do you talk about for gold it’s not a gold major, the .999 is silver gold is rated in carats. Last year alone at granulated and extracted silver gold and a number of other precious materials from Circuit Board‘s to the amount of 592.8 tons of Circuit Board. By the way, you don’t have your measurements correct, nor The method quite correct either on what you have posted

@@jamesshelton1124 Yes, you are right that my comment describes the old way of refining, but it is not so old that it is no longer used, and even at home It would be interesting to hear - what exactly is the method of cleaning gold in 12 hours, and besides, this modern method is environmentally friendly? As far as I know, there are no other solvents for gold in nature except for aqua regia, and aqua regia, in its environmental friendliness, is not at all the vodka that people usually drink .. Well, if we talk about the Miller method, then this method is even more dangerous than chemical refining. And yet, 999.9 - this number shows the number of precious metal units, which is contained in 1000 units and this standard is adopted in the international marking of all precious metals, and not just gold, but also silver, platinum, palladium and other precious metals, mainly used in the jewelry industry. I did not post this video, but in the commentary I shared my practical knowledge, tested in working with jewelry for many years and many times.

i'd love to see the continuation of this video, good work

Hi what’s the function of the hoses? Thank you so much very well explained.

The hoses are used to bubble air through the solution. The bubbling air keeps the solution agitated. Also keeping the solution saturated with air. Contributes in the oxidation of the base metal.

Fascinating video -- you must be somewhat of a genius in chemistry to be able to do that, and know how all those chemicals break down all the elements "except" the gold. You should have shown how to take the computer parts out of the computer that you can use to harvest the gold. I'll check for your video on palladium -- thanks for the great video, I did find it fascinating. For you to handle acids without gloves, you must work with this stuff all the time, and have steady hands.
