HI Sreetips, thanks for the video! have a quick question if you don’t mind. I have some scrap with platinum group metals. Is it correct that the palladium would come off with the nitric acid boils? Further does the SMB precipitate platinum or does it selectively precipitate the gold?
@sreetips
4 ай бұрын
Palladium is soluble in hot nitric. But don’t expect a clean separation. Some of the platinum will dissolve along with the palladium. Some of the palladium will remain in the platinum. SMB is selective for gold, but traces of PGMs will come down with the gold if they are present.

Can you melt the copper to pull silver out again? Where do the finished waste chemicals go once there's no further use for them?
@sreetips
Жыл бұрын
The copper is highly contaminated with other metals after cementing out on iron. So it gets tossed. The iron solution gets dropped with sodium hydroxide. The solids (metal hydroxides) get filtered out, dried to a moist cake and disposed of. The caustic solution gets brought to pH7 with pH swimming pool decreaser and disposed of down the drain. Nothing toxic or acidic gets dumped into the waste stream,

What a gorgeous pour on that lovely ingot! I thought it was going to overflow your mould for sure. You always add sulphuric acid to precipitate out lead, but I've never seen it precipitate out. Have you ever had it happen?
@sreetips
Жыл бұрын
The chance of lead being in the scrap is very low because lead is not normally used in gold jewelry. The only way is if someone, who didn’t know any better, used lead solder to do a repair. Doesn’t matter, I add the sulfuric just in case. I’ve never seen lead precipitate either. But the sulfuric hurts nothing, costs almost nothing, and provides a big benefit. Lead, even in trace amounts, ruins the ductility and malleability of gold. Better to add it, even if the presence of lead is not suspected, rather than not add it and risk getting a trace of lead in the gold.

Questions! 1. The nitric you saved from the boils: it's obviously been 'used up' a bit, but does it lose more potency when you store it for future use? Is there a way to tell? 2. I wondered why you don't use that nitric to make Aqua Regia, and I think it's because you can't be sure of the concentration, so it might slow the reaction, is that right?
@sreetips
Жыл бұрын
1) The nitric is still able to dissolve silver. I can tell because of the red fumes it evolves when added to the silver in my silver jar. 2) that nitric will have some silver in it. I’m trying to remove the silver so it’s best to use fresh nitric to make the aqua regia.

That was a quick $5200 in a very nice bar, Sr. That was a good job. You always do pours right with really hot metal and a really hot mold. I've seen other KZitemrs pour nice, hot metal into a mold that's either cold or they just put a torch on it before the pour. The bars or rounds end up junky because the metal starts to freeze before it has even settled fully in the mold. You never do that. That bar is gorgeous. The pour lines are amazing.

So, after boil #2 there was a lot of nitric in the solution, would it be beneficial at that point to break up the gold and macerate it at all? Seems that the boils may be more effective (or maybe they weren’t needed) if it has better contact with the base metals and silver from gold mixtures. At the very least maybe that solution could also be recaptured for future boils to reduce expenses on the nitric acid purchases?
