Mercury can be produced under two main methods. These are either thermally or via a wet-chem process. The ore is roasted in the air in the thermal process, converting mercury sulfide into sulfur dioxide and mercury metal. This process also produces toxic mercury vapor. Another thermal method is to reduce the mercury sulfide with another material this can be material such as iron, lime, zinc, etc. In both, the sulfur reacts with other material to produce that material sulfide and liberate the mercury metal. For the wet-chem process, the sulfide ore is dissolved and then reduced out of the solution. I will combine the wet-chem process and the old standard thermal style in today’s video.

can you help me? i tried to extract gold from ore, i make quartz jelly from naoh with some calcium as binder, give them h2so4 thus produces silicic acid and i dried it. finally i put aqua regia i simmer them till i supposed traces of hno3 gone, but suddenly i saw silvery white bubble at top of yellowish chloride complex i assumed when almost boiling, it was silvery white speck when i took out can it possibilty of mercury or just other precious metal? i dont want to mess with mercury whatsoever i chose ore carefully that indicated contain any minimum of mercury thank you best regards

Usually iron is used in the thermo process because it doesn't form an amalgam

@WheelerScientific Жыл бұрын

I didn’t have any large surface area iron and only had zinc so that’s why I used it. I mentioned using iron in the video.

Aapke experiment se yah proof hua ki cinnabar mein Mercury sulphur available Hota Hai isiliye yah silver ko colour kar sakta hai yah abhushan banane mein bahut upyogi hoga lekin isase yahan yah proof nahin hua hai ki isase gold bhi ban sakta hai remember please

what if we don't mix cinnabar with zink? does mercury vape out from the tube to the bottle ? and does the sulfur liquid stay in the first place?

@WheelerScientific 5 ай бұрын

You need something to bond with the other chemical to allow a reaction.

Thanks for reply. but i saw plenty of videos that they're just heating cinnabar to 400 degree and on the other side mercury is coming to bottle. are they cheating?@@WheelerScientific

Red mercury is cinnabar that is the ore from where mercury is extracted, like you see in video

@phonotical Жыл бұрын

First emperor! It's said he has mercury pools around his coffin in the tomb I mens it probabaly been long since collapsed And liquid at room temperature, I'm glad you've remember led cesium! Annoys me when people say there is only one Did you get cinnabar as a pigment or as a lacquer object?

@WheelerScientific Жыл бұрын

I had it in the ore form which came lightly pulverized.

@AdvancedTinkering Жыл бұрын

To be fair, people saying that there is only one metal in a liquid state at room temperature are also correct. I would argue it is the more correct statement. That's because "standard conditions" are defined by NIST or IUPAC. And none of those are sufficient for cesium to be a liquid.

@mrbrad187 Жыл бұрын

So how did the ancient people know this an how were they able to extract the mercury from cinnabar? Vast pools of mercury were found under Teotihican in Mexico and under a temple pyramid in China! Plus you did all that and only got a few drops, they had thousands of gallons of this stuff!

@squishyghost1234 Жыл бұрын

Because the emperor got slaves to mine as much cinnabar as possible, then burn the cinnabar to create liquid mercury. I am pretty sure tons and tons of cinnabar was mined. It is actually simple how HgS + O2 -> Hg + SO2, not that complicated

Putting cinnabar in a ceramic pot and cooking it will produce some elemental mercury that usually escapes as condensable vapour.

It did look like you had the flame too close to the pipe set up, meaning it won't warm up fast enough If you look at real cinnabar close enough, you can see small parts of mercury, as though it sweatted
