I have a friend that taught me how to do this in his garage, back in the late 1980's. Obviously we didn't do it on a scale as large as this though. We would drive around and find electronic equipment being thrown away, take it to his house and separate the parts and pieces. We would take the metal housing and other parts to the recycling plant as well. It does take a lot of computers and stereos and televisions to make an ingot though. In fact, sometimes it would take a few months of collecting and smelting to make any money though. The best time to collect is spring, when many are cleaning their houses, and the Christmas season, when people are throwing out their old stuff to make room for their new stuff. He also had a large bin in front of his house with a sign saying to throw old electronics in for recycling, as well as an ad in the newspaper.

I had a customer years ago who recycled computer trash for big corporations. He also hauled off copiers.They would pay him $20 each to disconnect them and haul them away. Part of his contract required wiping the hard drives clean. Spot checks were made by grabbing a few computers and trying to see if there was any data on them. After he'd gotten the precious metals he had a scrap yard buying the steel from the cases. Another company bought the ABS plastic and ground it into pellets. It would then be purified and made into things using steam injection into molds. GE used to be a big buyer of ABS plastic. Even the plugs on telephone cords and telephone jacks had 50 mils of gold on them. He also got to keep all the power strips even brand new ones in the packages. When a company buys a thousand computers they start with everything new even the battery backups. In the end he had very little scrap that needed to go to the dump.

One correction, please: at 5:40 near the end, under "Did you know?": the term carat is applied by error as it is only used for the weight of gemstones and diamonds. It was indeed based on the carob seed (that weighs quite accurately 0.2 grams). However, this video talks about gold, where fineness is expressed in karat (not carat), which has nothing to do with weight, or the carob seed.

The sad truth is that most computers still work completely fine aside from a single component. I've been to many recycling centers and scrapyards, gotten computers from them, and they still work just fine. I'm not talking old stuff either. i7 6950x systems with 1000W PSUs, 500gb Samsung SSDs, 4TB hard drives. HP Elitebook 840 G2s. It's pretty sad how much stuff gets tossed for no reason that still works just fine and is super nice. 4GB DDR3 sticks are also super easy to come by. Most people will give you this stuff for free or very close to it. So in a lot of ways, companies could make tons more by reselling the components or even complete systems.

+Admiral Ackbar The actual die is a silicon wafer and the metal that forms the the circuits inside the wafer is normally aluminum. The circuits inside the wafer are called "gates" which are either open or closed (1 or 0 in binary code). It's the metals outside the wafer but part of the CPU as a whole that are so diverse. On CPU's that plug into a socket, the pins are made of an exotic alloy called "Kovar" that has the same thermal qualities of expansion and contraction as borosilicate glass. This allows the entire CPU to heat and cool without causing stress fractures and structural failure. The Kovar is an alloy that contains iron, nickel and cobalt. CPU's also contain copper, silver, palladium, tin and aluminum. Palladium (Pd) is very toxic when dissolved (in an ionic state) to all living things as is all platinum group metals (PGM's). Nickel and cobalt are heavy metals and when condensed in the refining process, can exceed the LD50 quickly upon medium exposure.

Easily a third of the produced electric waste is not recycled, and a high percentage is just recycled thermally and an alarming amount is shipped off to Africa where you forgo the cost intensive process of recycling and just burn the stuff for easy access to copper. Not only is this causing severe environmental damage but also is wasting the more valuable materials.

Mazaroth I might agree with you had i used it. I know it powerfully works well leaching gold out of rock ore. It has gotten a bad rap in so many ways i just as soon stick to using a slower chemical process.

Back in the 90's and early 2000's we were throwing out bad circuit boards that were beyond repair (burned, lightning damaged) or financially unfeasible to repair and I checked with some companies that bought junked circuit boards and they wanted a minimum load of a 25 foot dumpster full at a time. Even with how many we were throwing out it would have taken forever to fill that up once so we just kept throwing them in the trash.

Time is not an illusion, well real time anyways, not human clock time. If time is an illusion, then your implying that time doesn't exist. So then how do we age if time is an illusion?

@trinityzaku7 жыл бұрын
we age because cells make copy errors. *potentially* time exists because we made it exist. *possibly* what we infer as time is just gravity, which also may or may not exist technically, affecting space and the change from one moment to the next. which yes I am explaining the lack of time by using time as a passing method because there no way to say "if then because" since we acknowledge it as "if then because"

Dude if time doesn't exist, then the universe wouldn't have even got this far or even close. Time exist dude. What about forth dimensions? One person stays back and the other goes in under the same gravitational pull and then the next time they meet, oh its been 7 years even though it has only been a half an hour for the other person. Time is speeding up on a part and not the other in the forth dimension.

Very informative, thanks ! 🙄😏 Though even for CPUs reverse electroplating would be a better option than conventional chemical treatment. 🤔

It's faster than acid, well reverse uses sulfuric but it's faster and easier. But only worth it if you have a lot of material Plated jewelry was abundant before you tube I swear that certain things just vanished from junk shops and flea markets in the last few years

Anyone expecting accurate information out of one of the "How it works" documentaries is a fool. The most glaring (of many) is where they stated that the carat was the measure of gold purity, which is absolutely wrong. The carat is a unit of measure for the weight of gemstones. Karat is the unit of measure of gold purity - with 24 karat being pure gold. It is a linear scale, so 12 k is 50% gold and 50% other metals.
