Despite all the negative comments, I'm just impressed with how little equipment was necessary to accomplish this. Outstanding! I have no excuse lol.

This video is an example of why the dislikes need to be visible. What's claimed to be made here is peracetic acid (this requires distilled white wine vinger and 5% hydrogen peroxide) which can dissolve copper (freeing gold). However it turns blue; not green. The green colour indicates the use of nitric acid (turns green when dissolving copper). Using peracetic acid on 500grams of mixed scrap would not only take a lot longer, but also work out a lot more expensive than simply using nitric acid. You would need bottles of hydrogen peroxide, also controlled item in most countries (it's not the same hydrogen peroxide you use for your hair, it's sold as teeth whitener or wound cleaner and is often restricted to one bottle per customer). Peracetic acid is okay for smaller items (such as scrap sim cards/smart chips) but you will be wasting time and money trying to recover gold phone boards and mousepads as shown in the video.

What the vinegar does in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and air (oxygen) is to oxidize and dissolve the more reactive metals, mostly copper, which has been plated with gold. The gold becomes minute flakes. It is important to keep chloride out of the vinegar and water or the gold will dissolve. Once the gold flaks are obtained methods other.than what the creator shows can be used to recover the gold. It would be interesting to see what these other metals are. The solution is green not blue so something other than copper is there. It should have been tested for gold. Don't throw it away until you are sure. It may for instance contain nickel and or cobalt.

Most work in a building while this man works on a scrapyard along with his professionalism...

Thanks for teaching us how to waste time. Good job.

i used to work in a recycling plant and i would take RAM and the CPU from old computers cause i knew it contained lots of gold i have 3 full box of them so i might try this i enjoyed video Thank you . "

The ingredients used, I think would be more expensive then the gold extracted

Oh that's cool ! If I can get the chemical's I'll give it a shot ! I would just keep going with the 1st step adding fresh vinegar & more boards over and over a couple of months plus loads of boards and cheap vinegar then I would do the final chemical process, that would make it cost efficient. Very cool ! Inspired.

Hi, very cool💪👍, I am also engaged in the processing of gilding. and there are still options for processing such boards, this is a big problem.

Hallo bro ini Tutorial yang sangat luar biasa, good job brother 👍👍

the concept is great however the expense vs return would be unrealistic unless you get tons of scrap boards

Pretty cool it works simply whit mother nature and time. 😎👍👍❤️

Buen trabajo,hay que cuidar el hambiente y uno mismo tambien

All the negative comments are people who are looking to make thousands bro cause there are smart teenagers like me who do not have the resources for expensive chemicals just trying out something that could benefit my future

I was trying to remember my chemistry during all this🤣 great job

Отлично, коллега, удачи!

I'm more impressed by your creative use of soda bottles.

process is very good, nice

Thanks for the video. Never seen it done like this before. For all those saying more is needed? Nothing on earth only requires one thing to be done to it to retrieve something from it. The process to recycle something is never straight forward. I myself recycle copper and a few other things which I then invest that money into things that make more money :) If I knew someone who did this I would give them all the boards I come across as taking them to a scrap yard is not enjoyable so they end up in the bin, as I do not have the time nor the resources available to extract the gold using the method in the video. I did learn a few things from this video, thanks again.

Well done, perhaps a little bit faster way is to take the gold into solution using a 50/50 mix of clorox and vinegar, until the gold disappears. 150 degrees F is faster perhaps an hour or so, filter and drop the gold with zinc, add zinc until the liquid turns mouse gray and let it sit. Zinc burns off at low temperature leaving your gold behind. The only problem is the process likes the platinum group metals as well but does not like silver. Love to see a video and compare the two processes to see how they compare.

Very good, thank you.

This man has time and knowledge… And now a little more gold

So the process costs more in materials than you got in gold, but still pretty cool.

Nice video, thanks for sharing :)

very nice..thanks😍👍

What this video shows is that many people don't understand nor fully think through a money-making scheme or endeavor to see if it makes sense before moving forward. Most people only imagine about how much money they think they will make until the reality of the effort, time, and sometimes money needed hits them upside the head, then they stop. If you don't value your time you will waste it.

This is what I learned, so much work and time for so so little. But educational a little.

TRULY THANK YOU BLESSINGS

Very nice brother thank you very much Good information bro

Okay what were you pouring into the solutions during the “heating.” I didn’t see where that was mentioned.

Güzel çalışma emeğinize sağlık 👍👍

Looks interesting and simple enough. My only concern is the toxicity of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid.. what preventions need to be taken when doing this?

Love that there are always smarter people than the EXPERTS

The title is a bit misleading, it's way more involved than just vinegar.

Gostei muito dó seu canal é sou garimpeiro 🙏

What if you stop at the after the first draining of vinager and peroxide?

The process will become profitable once gold prices reaches ten thousand dollars.

Ok so i need to learn to make my own vinegar. ✅

As of april 28, 2022 ,46 grams of gold is worth about 27.91. Long term, like years that could be a boost to retirement. Look for older computers, they have more gold in the cpu than newer PC's. That is tearing apart a lot of pc,s for a small return. It is cool to know how to do that. Can these be used on gold plated jewelry?

Do you need to neutralize before pouring smb please reply

Ben anladım ki sen sınırlı olanaklarda neler yapılabilir yapmışım dostum kireç at içine kaynat çok etkili mümkünse taş halinde kireç olsun i kendi kaynar,imkan varsa Başlangıcı HCl ve prokseid 12 procent veya daha yüksegi ile yapilsun daha iyi sonuç alırsın sonra içine çinko veya aleminyum oda yoksa demir tozu mümkünse cokertide sonra nitrikle temizle vesayee HCl yoksa, potasium hidro oksit ve hidrojen prokseit kullanılirsa buda etkili oluyor , emeğine sağlık

Good video.

Sick!! If you did the same procedure again with thay .46 chunk of 22cy can you purify it further and get some 999 gold? Is it possible using that procedure and chemicals ? I know if you brought it back to solution with some HCL AMD HNO3 you can get it to 999 rigjt? Thanks brother I’m just looking for a way to refine my Alaska placer gold it’s like 85% of you melt it to a bar so I’d like to get some 999 gold bars However I’m looking for the safest way do do it at home without a nice lab setup and good to vennt the gasses etc Thank you for the video and knowledge

Thank you

What happens if you dehydrate the gold suspension when it is nano fine like after stripping?

Is there any other way to test for gold besides tin11 chloride please as it's very expensive in our country

Amazingly easy and reliable gold recovery process, thanks for sharing.

superb!!!

Hell of a tool! 🤓🙏

would this work for gold plated silver jewelry?

Canyon you just ese water and gravity on the second part? Instead of using that strong of accid.

At today's price of gold per gram, the slightly less than a half gram of gold recovered is worth about $25, more or less. Give the equipment, supplies, chemicals, and labor involved, I'd say this recovery process can EASILY make someone about 50 cents per hour if they are efficient. But making a 12 minute video that is viewed on You Tube by more than 1 million viewers, well now the monetizing of a video about recovering the gold can generate a much better return! The lesson from this video is making the video for You Tube will make you money! Recovering a tiny amount of gold from scrap circuit boards is a waste of time.

Hi my friend Is excellent vídeo You great :)

I noticed gold flecks on the filter paper after the solution was filtered. What did you do with the filter paper, there must have been a fair bit of gold on that!!?

I love the music it's nothing annoying or repetitive..

You should be a millionaire in 100 years then

Hi, can I use the method of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide also for the cpu? I do not need to get gold at 24k but get on 18k. Answer me if you can, and thank you for the videos. Bye bye.

Great work as always! I have done this aswell, just to try it and it worked great! Pay no attention to the negative comments. I know you Brother because you helped me recover alot over the years. I wish you lived next door to me! We would have so much fun! God Bless you and may all you days be Golden!

Easiest way I have seen. THANK YOU.

Love the inorganic chemistry.....but the spot price of gold is currently $57.44US per gram.....and you got .46 grams to give $26.42.....That wouldn't cover your costs of materials here in the US.....

You just need vinegar... And 100 other things...

So good

That seems counter productive ta me...a lot of work for a small payout.....

Very nice result and with vinegar !! Run out of acids?? Hahaha ❤

Thanks 👍

Thank's bro

Question, Once the Vinegar has freed the gold foils and they are floating. Why not just strain them at that point and melt them? What is the benefit of further processing? Thanks!

Where did you get that heating unit? Did you make that? With that flat pan?

I'm going to have a go at this 👍

If you melt it from the 1st step, what carat is it?i need help 

Extremely labor intensive for such a small result.

Yeah great video i love science. But all that work for 0.5 grams. Thats only £20 is it really worth it. But great channel 👍👍

I torch my mud when its still wet. It doesnt blow away from the flame, and any acid residue left is quickly burned off. I rinse my mud in 2 hot Hcl baths, then 2 hot water baths. So i could do more, but times an issue when doing 10-20grams at a time. Im gonna make the BEST refining video for newcomers this summer. Soon as the temp outside is good, ill be processing karat scraps.

jeez man you werent joking about the 15-20 days. im back here now to learn how to collect all the gold flakes they finaly ALL fell off

If I'm gonna go through that much trouble , I'm using that one BB in my 12 Gauge Buckshot !!!

I know nothing of this stuff.... But... If gold has a certain melting point.... Could you not just burn the coffee filter and melt what is there.... By using different heat lvls separate the gold from other inpurities?

Interesting Vinegar and peroxide would dissolve metals but not gold. I might try this with some scrap boards... I wont use acids though...

Nice video 👍

Seems like its more work than worth

Will it harm the gold if you leave it in for a lot longer time)?

At the start I was like ok, easy, but I soon was like, add what now, wait and that and that wait… wait… yeah na I ain’t doing that. Great vid though

So he got $25.623 (U.S Dollars, calculating at current value of 22k gold for $1,890 per troy ounce). So the biggest take away from this video, is the process itself, not the amount of cash he was able to produce in this example, as we would need a considerable larger amount of recyclable materials, to extract enough gold & make it worth our while.. Thank you for the video, definitely learned something new today! 😊👍

Question whats the cheepest way to recover gold from these scraps

Can you use the hydrogen peroxide that is for skin it's 6%?

Did you feel it was worth the effort and cost for a $27 return (29/4/22)? You'd still need to dispose of the spent chemistry and board waste afterwards.

It’s true it does take a long time but it is worth it in the long run. I guess you just have to save it up and it’s not the only thing you get is gold as other precious metals also

Something that all of us can do at home

Awesome 👌👍

You forgot to mention… hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and sodium metabisulfite.

Very cool technique, maybe I should keep all my ewaste /cheers ScrapBongo Liked and Subbed

Nice

How did we go from viganar to every chemical from the lab. I think it would be easier to cook meth

The amount of gold recovered would be the same if we use any other method?

No need for all them chemicals , crush recover metal and smelt a few times that’s all you need to do . Watch MBMM if your interested in his process .

The stubborn gold plated, can we also add few table spoon salt in order to create better result ?

Man thats alota chems smelting the gold would be easyer right? Insted of chem melting

super! 👍👍👍

I like this 👌

How much for the boards how much for the Chemicals how many Hours of your time? $50 worth of Gold?

very cool, can you recover other rare metals and copper at the same time? do you think it's worth it to start a gold recovery recyclable unit?
