    Yes and in my video I explain that all one needs do is hold the magnet a little further away. As you know the magnetic "pull" decreases with distance. In my video we see NME's remaining with 1/4" spacing. If I increase the distance I'll get more MLCC's left behind, the question is how many BME's remain in the mix. I want as "clean" a mix as possible.

    You can use the HDD mags just hold them a little further away as I do. A magnet's pull decreases rapidly with distance. I have no doubt that I am collecting some NME's with the BME's in my process. But I'm ok with that to ensure the NME's I do keep are as "clean" as possible. That way if I decide to sell I know I'm selling good product. If you're going to extract the Ag and Pd yourself, then having some BME's in your mix is no big deal other than wasted acid.

    Very informative, thank you. Now, not to throw a spanner in the works but, I'm sure I heard recently (possibly it was Ewaste Ben) NOT to use a neodyneum (SP?) magnet from a hard drive because it will pick up most of the MLCCs even some with the precious/noble metals in them. But instead, to use a regular magnet from a speaker or something. Maybe you could test this out and then have 3 lots of MLCCs, true (non-magnetic), imposter (a bit magnetic) and fake (totally magnetic). Might be an idea for a follow up video just for information even if you and others decide to only sweep with a strong magnet and keep the true PM MLCCs. Take care, Poo

    No worries poo. It's no problem using the strong neodymium magnet, one just needs to hold it further away to reduce the strength of the magnetic field. My goal is to have as clean a NME stack as possible. I can always resort the remaining MLCC's with the magnet further away but without testing the precious metal levels of each group, I won't really understand what I'm getting anyway.

We save the pallaium and tantalum among other things but this video brought new information to light. I had no idea about magnetic and non magnetic. I do have one question though......Any MLCC's that are magnetic, should they be tossed into the ewaste bin for the regional recycler to deal with or do they just go to garbage? I don't want to have to put anything into the garbage that I don't have to. As well, someone had mentioned using a magnet from a speaker? I assume they mean a very small speaker?

    My recommendation is just keep them all together and not worry about it until you are ready to process them. When you're ready to process you'll have learned a lot more than you know now, and will be better prepared to decide how to handle them. If you decide to sell them, the buyer will tell you if they want them seperated.

    The NME/PMEs have a much lower concentration of nickel and only respond to strong magnet fields. Since I was using a neodymium magnet very close the MLCC's I picked up a large number of them. Had I held the magnet further away, or used a weaker type of magnet, I likely would NOT have picked up as many. Serious refiners have either come up with a standard they use to optimize their yield OR they just process them all together and accept additional effort is needed to get the PMs.

    They still have some, but maybe not as much or maybe less silver. That's why I keep mine all in one container for now. If I decide to refine OR I sell to a refiner, I may separate them just to keep the yields consistent.

    I have been saving the boards I collected with them on them because I was not sure how to separate..problem I have here is that the recycle guys got together,I know this because I was working for the one the had the meeting.boss wanted the other buyers to drop their prices straight across board so S to make all the buyers more money.thwy have slowly bought out the competition while keeping prices low.im better off to refine anything I can and even if I don't sell perhaps down the road I can.right now it's under 2.00 for bright new copper.seems low but have to drive 150 miles to get better price

    Joe - an unfortunate situation for you. I'm sure you've seen or know of the many refining videos and channels on KZread. But be careful with those acids. You check out BOARDSORT.COM as another option to sell your boards. Depending on where you live, even with shipping it might be a good option for you.

    On my first practice run I used peroxide and acid to dissolve the base metals.ididnt want to use a bunch in case it failed but wanted to have enough to see result.the final product weighs 97 grams.however it only tests about 14k I think this is because of silver and platinum group metals with it.i don't know what to do with it but I have it.i still have a bunch to process.i was lucky to get my hands on about 20 computers from 1990's

    Whew, thankfully I haven't tossed any of my 'magnetic' MLCCs. I was brushing the magnet directly over them, which was picking up everything! From all the vids I've watched, it looks like the weakly magnetic ones have silver still in them. I should probably try using one of those big flat flexible fridge magnets. Those are very weak and will only grab the MLCCs that are mostly nickel.

    Yes - at your stage I'd agree. In fact, when you get computers I recommend you just stash them in the corner some where. Or at most break them down to power supply, CDROM, HDD, RAM, PCI/Slot cards and Motherboard. Don't worry about taking anything off the boards just yet. Just accumulate for now.

    You do got to be careful with using such strong rare earth magnets. Palladium is paramagnetic meaning it very weakly gets attracted to a magnet. If that is an exceptionally strong magnet as the large hdd magnets are then that weak attraction combined with the small mass of the mlcc can stick to a strong magnet. the silver is slightly diamagnetic giving a slight repulsion to the magnet. But thats a small effect. I personally dont use hdd magnets for this very reason i have tested mlccs that weakly stick to the magnets dissolving in nitric or AR and testing with stannous chloride. I got a positive indication for pgms. Now i haven't processed at huge amount of these either. Ive been stockpiling for several years got several pounds saved up. Honestly though since ill be refining myself... Im simply going to do them all together as its essentially the same process using the same acids... If your sorting them to sell though this info might be important mo point in giving perfectly good palladium and silver away ya know

  • @sharkscrapper

    @sharkscrapper

    Жыл бұрын

    It's a good point. Of course, holding the magnet further away leads to a weaker field attracting the mlcc's. But for me, it no longer matters as I just put them all together. I had thought I would refine them, but the biz has gotten too busy and I rarely remove them anymore. Not sure what I'm going to do with what I have in storage just yet.

    Alex, I'm sorry that you did not see the value in this video that many others have. As for separating MLCC's based on their magnetic response, the verdict is mixed. Some "refiners" have told me, or posted videos, that they like to separate them with the goal being better yields. Others have reported it's not worth the effort. I'm not a refiner and I don't separate them but sell as "Mixed MLCC's." Having said that, I found the discussing interesting and wanted to share what I had learned for those who are either new to this or haven't had the time to dig a little further.
