my favorite part is around 2:50, bad memories and all just melt away :-) I made the ring when I was 18, but it lost all meaning last year, I'm just happy i got it back, it was a fair amount of gold.

I believe the flux combines with the impurities, pulling them away from the desired metal. This combination forms, I think, 'dross' or 'slag' which can be sent to a 'tolling' operation for further refining and recovery of any desired metals trapped in the slag.

$200 for an oxy rig and $10/month for a rented oxygen/LPG cylinder is money well spent for this exercise. You can get several oz of gold up to pouring temperature in a minute or so with oxy-anything.

Yeah, I know. My other torch would destroy the crucible. It can cut 3" steel plate with no problem. This was the only small one I had.

@HOODYWOODRECORDS It decreases the melt temp of gold (as does the addition of copper) and helps seperate the base metals (called a slag, after melt) from precious ones.

@OhNoNotMyPenis ....... laughed my ass off, very funny. Saved me from wasting 8 mins of my life

Yes! Please do the follow up! :)

That's for cutting it off on the best bit , finished product

3:00 - reminds me of The One Ring being melted away at Moun Doom

Propane will do, just depends on the ''head?'' of the torch...get the biggest one.

@pigpenpigpen1968 I recently read that cell phones contain about 6 oz gold per ton of cell phones. Computer boards contain less. Compared to gold ore, this is great, but it means that you have to handle a lot of cell phones to get much gold. There are videos on KZread that show you how, but you would have to do it at a commercial scale.

Egg Yolk! get some Egg Yolk! For $500! it's a golden Egg Yolk! get some Egg Yolk!

yeah hey man what about part two? i wanna know what happens next.

actually the borax acts as a flux so you can pour the melted material. if only it were that easy to purify the gold

@leonardo1480 more then likly its borax and its use to remove anything you dont want in pure gold. it sinks under neath the gold blah blah i dont know much about it but im sure its that

It's Borax Powder, Helps purify the Gold !

I cant believe most of this video is just watching gold melt/burn lol.

Wife just told me to, shut this freakn loud ass sound off, thnx alot!

@nfexp Much quieter, or more quiet. Pick one.

Should be' Gold Refining: Last Step'

So how exactly are the 'junk' metals removed thus only leaving pure gold? I saw you add the coke to the dish, but what happens after that? Do the other metals just burn off? And are you using just a little hand held torch that can be picked up at any hardware store?

I think acertylene alone, no O2 even, would do a better job.

Where can the ceramic heating bowls be bought?

how do you seperate the other metals after you melt them. thanks

@CrowTRobot1977 what kind of torch do you recommend to melt 100 ounces of silver

what chemical r u using to extract??? so you just bring to melting point??? and then add chemical then pour???

@32937isready gold melts fast ..what was that 8 karate? you should have pulled slag....right

Id like to know if its worth it and if I can somehow recycle non ferrous out of computers. Help if you know please.

and the white recipient is maded by????

Where's step 2 in related videos. Please can someone help me.

@chevito11 I know ...

@CrowTRobot1977 what brand is the torch you're using

So no step 2 huh?

Huh... what didst it smell like?

What is that powder stuff your putting in with the gold?

поменяйте тигель и все пойдет быстрей, много температуры берет на себя. (((

hey did it work??

well whats step one dude?

take it off the ground it will take heat out and mek it harder to heat up

@Zweiland Oh dont forget he is loosing grams like that too

How's the "refining" procedure going?

You're flame was to close at times. And you should heat your wire ingot mold before you poor.

Why do you put flux in it?

He needs some protective gloves.

What do you use as fuel?

@nfexp that's funny!

what that is - what about dissolving in Nitric and hydrochloric acid, then then pouring in sulfur dioxide solution. You need an oxy man.

oi, and what;s happed next?

@hunter69denys U cant and ur gonna waste money.Its 2 gas mixed Oxy and Propane.

Thats not how they did it in Rough Science season 3

Borax

7:00

@Crow4gold protective gloves is fo suckas. He's hardcore.

You need oxy-acetylene to do this, much easier and faster, hotter.

@xdaughertyx Dont man ur unlearning here

jeez what kind of torch is that? taking you WAY too long to melt gold. preheat your crucible and get a better torch (oxy-fuel).

@Godsdingleberry Its not refining .He is scraping is gold.......And when u do that ...U loose money solid.

lol

thats not refining thats mealting>.>.Refinging it would need more heat u can only get that heat in a refining oven >.>.And refining means bringing it back to 24 Kt >.>.So many noob out there who know what there talking about >.>

ever heard of windows movie maker? Too Long...

@Crow4gold What you talking about.. WE all need protective gloves,that will protect us from clicking on this crappy video.. I think this video should be titled "Me and my blowtorch"

Does not look like gold, looks like a heated metal to me.

Where the fuck is step 2?
