Hands down, one of the best chemistry/science videos i have ever seen. Nice work. The music was spot on. W special emphasis to the pipette filtration segment as well as the dissolving of the residue in the bowl w the stirrer going . Thank you Astral 💚

Amazing!!!! You are the first amateur chemist I have seen attempt this!! This catalyst is so cool and I have been wanting to have some for quite a long time.

Thank you very much!

I've finally got everything I need to try this, the last piece of the puzzle was the platinum, which I found in a broken R type thermocouple in a skip bin, from what I've read the negative leg is 100% platinum and the positive leg is 87% platinum/13% rhodium

Nice find! Just imagine how many tons of gold are sitting in landfills.

First! :P We discovered that we have been running a lab for years without having sodium chloride. But a good chemist always has some sodium and chlorine gas, am I right?

This is so cool!!! I've been doing a lot of experimenting with platinum catalytic propane heaters lately, and I've always wondered if it would be possible to make one myself. After watching your video it definitly appears to be feasible! A friend of mine recently opened up a small automobile catalytic converter with an acetylene torch, and obtained the ceramic honeycomb inside. When I decide to chemically process it, instead of trying to obtain a bead of the metals it contains I may just keep them in solution and apply them to some quartz wool like you did here. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you for your high quality videos. A joy to watch.

Thank you for showing us this process and your methodology! Pt is a pretty mysterious and amazing element.. Put a Pt/Nb sheet in a wood smoke stream and you can smell all the transformed compounds produced by it (consumes it, though..)

Really nice video. I'd just recommend you adapt the volume of music and voice a bit, when the music comes, I have to turn down the volume so much that later I can't hear the voice...

Awesome video!!!

Hi! Great channel! What hot plate stirrer do you use or recommend? I'm torn between hot plates and people give mixed reviews.

Hi have you considered using a tilly lamp mantle thats 99% thorium dioxide as a catalyst? that was the other catalyst used industrially when pt ran short in ww1. my research gives 11 parts ammonia gas 89 air run through preheat 700c and use gasflow to push the exothermic catalyst temperature to 800-850c. Above 900, selectivity is reduced. thorium ran at atmospheric pressures, pt 4-5atm. 2 cooling chambers are used, 1 has water vapour added, one has o2. but we can use h2o2 bubbler instead. Apart from its fragility i think the tilly lamp mantles may be ideal, for surface area and contact times, easy to apply and clamp to a tube etc

cool

Can Senku borrow some platinum from u to save the world?

Big thumbs up for showing the process, we are currently purifing crude platinum for exactly this process (But we need a lot of time for editing...) But please make your videos a bit shorter and to the point if you can (:

Is it possible to use aluminum silicate ceramic wool in stead of the quartz wool?

What should be the concertation of nitric acid ? And other acids you used ?

I tried adding ascorbic acid but nothing happens.

I think you can help me, can the rhodium chloride precipitated in water regia be taken directly to melting with a blowtorch? palladium I've already got it, but rhodium hasn't.

Can i use small alumuminum oxide balls instaed of quartz wool?

Nickel and Cobalt can catalyze the oxidation right?

can i do this via kcl and potassium hexachloroplatinate?

Is it possible to use the same route,to produce a gold catalyst?

Hi I tried to replicate the experiment but I didn't work, the resulting platinized quartz wool doesn't catalize the combustion of my burner, I really appreciate your help

great video, not sure how you got 1mg as an excess of NaCl though. 20mg/195ram=0.1mmol Pt 0.1mmol x 2shoichiometry x 58.5rmmNaCl = 11.7mg NaCl edit: you allso say "0.42 mg of sodium chloridde"

I got hung up on that aswell. I thought my math was wrong. But the 1mg is way too little.

Interesting video but for the love of all that you care about, adjust the volume of that crappy music you use without any kind of logic at 11:20 or so and in some other videos of yours. You go through long stretches of relatively quiet or even silent footage then suddenly, insanely louder techno music destroy your eardrums, especially if you use headphones (I do)...

Surely a stupid question but at 8.07 and at 8.16 I cannot tell if you are adding water or blowing air into the solution. Is it water or just air or both ?

@astralchemistry8732

Not a stupid question. We noticed that it is very hard to tell on the video. Its just synthetic air we blow over the solution in order to facilitate the evaporation process.

@@WaffleStaffel I think it depends of the thickness of the fibers of the quartz wool, I got one oz online from a store called whale apparatus in usa, just Google it. I followed all the steps of the video but when I heated the catalyst it became brittle, and had no catalytic properties or is very very low, even it didn't catalize the oxidation of the gas burner, also I tried the former method using hexachloroplatinic acid and ethanol and had the same result. I think that the best way is to directly buy the platinized quartz wool and forget this exhausting process

@@kelvinpino4065 Oh no, I'm sorry it didn't work out. I'll have to check out that source. I hammered some Pt into a flat wire shape and even red hot it wouldn't catalyze butane or propane, but it _did_ work on methanol vapors. Yeah, if you just want the catalyst, buying it on alibaba is probably the way to go. Evidently Pt on kaowool (alumina/silica?) is used as well, so since that's the only thing I can find which stands up to heat without melting or becomin gbrittle, that's the first thing I'm going to try. - www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=13734

A very small amount of platinum is enough to turn the solution deep black. However, the platinum is easily recycled.
