Turning old jewelry into pure gold bars: • Turning old jewelry in...
This is a follow-up to the video on my main channel NileRed, where I extracted the gold from old jewelry.
In this video, I cover some of the waste management that I did behind the scenes. I felt like it was important to show, but it the main video was already really long.

@@srreal4821 To run with your metaphor, I think the confusing part is that after smashing your phone into powder you normally can't just add some exotic liquids and heat to get a new phone _back_ from the smashed remains, so to speak. Navigating the intricate interplay between conservation laws and entropy can be very disorienting, especially for those who are used to classifying things under one or the other. For example, lots of people are used to the fact that oxygen can be converted to carbon dioxide and back to oxygen, because they've been taught about respiration and photosynthesis in school, however those same people are often surprised to learn that you can treat a pile of rust chemically to get back the same amount of iron you started with. People generally don't think of iron and iron oxide the way they think of oxygen and carbon dioxide, they are raised to think of breathing as a reversible conversion and rusting as an irreversible destruction. Likewise, most people think of any substance which has been dissolved in acid as having been destroyed forever, not just "stored in a different shape" for later retrieval or extraction.

I think waste management is something a lot of folks forget; for example he was using a Fume Hood so where did all the gases go and what effects do they have? In a small individualized lab this isn't a big problem but let's upscale it to a chemical plant? If any of those ventilated gases are denser than air what effects could it have on a local population for example?

We couldn't ever do much beyond theory and equation balancing with the occasional "well, that was vaguely interesting" demonstration because some girl loooooooong before my class didn't listen to instructions when using a mouth pipette (which should tell you how old the tall tale was) and sucked up some acid that caused her front teeth to puff up and dissolve when they washed her mouth with a neutralizing solution.

Hell, in HS biology, the most lab work we ever did was look at onion cells under the scope.

After pulling off the silver, distill off MOST of the acid from the copper salt, and save that for other metal refining. Put in iron to cement out the copper. Add alkali to precipitate out the iron as hydroxide/oxide. The remainder can then be disposed of (rust and alkali water).

5:40 but copper nitrate is a blue salt... Since you heat it up a greenish color might be delivered from copper oxide forms (ofc some decent amount of copper nitrate is still there). By the way, you can check a prices for metal prerursors, they are typically way more expensive than pure metals. (E.g. high purity copepr nitate is about 200 eur for 100g)

the silver oxide at 2:00 unlocked a memory of a toy I had as a kid. It was just a little plastic adapter to attach two 2-liter bottles to each other with a narrow opening, so that you could fill the bottom one, flip it over and spin it to make a water funnel. i don't know how many hours i spent just admiring liquid physics with things like that. the silver oxide swirling around and resembling a stormy scene is something I could watch for quite a long time.

Best way to deal with copper salt waste is to put iron waste in it like rusty old nails. You're then left with copper metal and relatively benign iron salts, which you can turn into the oxide form and dispose of safely.

This is great! The chemical cleaning process always seemed sort of arcane and dangerous to me, so I'm happy to see this kind of content. In fact, I think when I was little, I had an intense nightmare about working in a lab and dumping chemicals down the sink, which then reacted violently and bubbled up out of the drain and turn into some sort of giant monster lol. This added a lot of clarity and grounding to that part of my brain XD

For the copper, set up an electrochemical cell. It won't require a lot of attention, and the slow reduction with a single cathode should give you some pretty copper crystals. When we did an AgCl precipitation in first-year chemistry (quantitative analysis for Ag), part of the process was heating it to about 60'C, as I recall, so the colloidal precipitate would "curdle" better and settle out more quantitatively.
