If school chrmistry had been action-chem like this there would be lots more chemists today!

The gold waste water container has a nice powder to liquid ratio! It's amusing how you're less careful about letting powder through with your rinses today than you were in your earliest videos from many years ago. It just shows how streamlined your whole operation has become. You know that you're getting it all back anyway, so you don't sweat the small stuff anymore. It was really nice to get to witness that evolution.

Your first sentence has piqued my interest! Do you have examples of some of the techniques Sreetips uses that are done differently in today's labs? Aside from a couple of things I'd to slightly differently, his procedures for refining gold seem as optimized as possible. He looks like he could do it with his eyes closed. Working in a longer fume hood that's not as deep so that there's no risk of knocking down glassware in the front while you work in the back would help. So would using a spreadsheet to calculate automatically how much silver is needed for inquartation. And lastly, I prefer using an electric kiln and melt powder or granules directly into the mold instead of using torches in a crucible and having to pour the ingots, but that's just personal preference.

I guess a good analogy for how the inquarted gold reacts with the acid to free up the pure gold is like a chocolate chip cookie dropped into milk. The cookie (silver) dissolves in the milk (nitric acid) and the chocolate (gold) is left behind.

I'm disabled and cannot work, but I have a gift. I can spot Gold when it's mixed in with costume jewellery. Not sure how the gift works, the Gold just seems to glow somehow. So for the last 20 years I've gone out on my scooter, using buses and trains, to visit every fare, every bric-a-brac shop, every charity shop I can find. Everytime I got to 200gm of mixed purity Gold I'd put it in my deposit box at the bank. I can't get out as much as I once could, but seeing you on this channel, has given me the idea of purifying my Gold. I have a back ground in chemistry so I have the lab skills. It going to keep me busy I have alot of bags to work through. Thank you so much for the education, entertainment and inspiration you've given to everyone who views your channel.

We’ve learned to spot karat gold just by looking also. After seeing tens of thousands of pieces over the last two decades, it’s easy to spot. You don’t need to refine the karat gold. It will track right on up with the bullion. So long as you don’t try your melt it and ruin the markings. Then it’s value becomes questionable. If you do decide to refine then make sure and get a fume hood first. No way to safely do these reactions without one. I ignored this when I first started and now I have impaired lung function and blurry vision from the fumes getting in my eyes.

@sreetips oh for sure I need a fume hood + a lot of other PPE too. I think I'd like a gas monitor outside the fume hood just to be sure, NO2 is seriously toxic. I think the Germans considered it a possible chemical weapon in WW1. The HNO3, HCl, H2SO4 and high strength H2O2 are all bad actors when it comes to your health. But I think the one's that people overlook are the metal salts. Mercury, chromium and cadmium being the worst. Thank you for your advice and inspiration, I hope you both have a great day.

Thanks. I had been using sulphuric acid and adding sodium nitrate and was wondering why it was taking so long and not completely. Inquartation to 25% (6k).

Excellent video thank you 😊 cool ride along 😎

SHE BRINGS HOME THE BACON AND YOU FRY IT UP IN THE PAN. You 2 have a good thing going. I've got about 60 gm 14k 15gm 18k all scrap gold and was wondering if any companies sell a small starter kit. I would like to try doing that without having to spend a lot of money. I would be keeping the gold for retirement investment.

As far as the nitric acid boils go I always thought of the karat gold as bricks that the acid can't penetrate to get the silver, etc. out of the gold. When you inquart gold with sterling silver (or copper) You turn that 14k gold into 5-6k gold and that solid, impenetrable brick becomes a loose, open sponge that the acid can get all the way into and do its work. The sterling becomes the "air pockets" of the "sponge" if you see what I mean. The ring got very tiny pits from what base metals were present on the surface. The nitric ate that away and took the shine off the gold. "That will buff right out." lol Mrs. Sreetips is good to us and she has fun doing it. It's nice when someone not only enjoying their hobby but at least making a little money doing it. 🙂🖖‍
