My favorite thing about this channel is the warning in the beginning doesn't end with "please don't try this at home", it ends with "wear gloves when handling".

for anyone willing to make some zinc powder, and for some reason doenst have zinc oxide nearby but has d2 batteries, you can directly dissolve metal zinc in sodium hydroxide, just know that depending on the brand the battery internals changes, in my opinion, of you want to take it apart easily and have nice clean zinc case, rather than rayovac that gas some weird solic black glue that can be a pain to deal woth it since i have no idea what it is also, i measured the zinc body of the batteries i recently dissasembled, and my scale says both are 9 grams, that may change from battery from battery, brand from brand, but average i think it's not far off to suppose it would be around ~9 grams for most batteries from most brands if you for some reason dont want to wait to zonc oxide to arrive, have to make zinc oxide or have some zinc metal around and dont want to buy zinc oxide, i hope this helps! but if you really are in a hurry, i shouldnt have to mention but i will anyway: dissolving the zinc metal into solution will take a lot longer than fine zinc oxide powder! as a side note: as always, when reacting metals, clean it as best as you can, sand it all around, steel wool, steel brush as best as you can to make the reaction faster, the cleaner the faster it will react

I've made these dendrites and used them for air batteries. It works but the zinc powder dissolves like putting snow under a blow torch. This very thing is being used for power storage systems and was used by the German postal service to power their trucks but was only a pilot program that was discontinued. Thanks!

The tarnished zinc looks absolutely stunning. A high-resolution photo of that would make an amazing print or backdrop. Maybe even a wallpaper.

Loving the 4K uploads! Looks great :D

I've purchased another hotplate stirrer so hopefully that will arrive soon. Then we can get back to real chemistry. (The hotplate stirrer in the video is another broken one that just stirs and doesn't heat)

Thank you, Mr. Rage!

glad to see you again!

I love these videos but my family start getting worried about "demonic voice talking science" from my room.

great video, its possible make a video about through-hole PCB plating?

I don't got money but. Got appreciation. I appreciate your sharing your knowledge. Thanks.

Have you upgraded your camera? Video quality is great in this one!

Does this work with cadmium? I know it and zinc have a bit in common being in the same group. I have a source of cadmium hydroxide and would like to make the metal.

Deutsche post office used this method to generate/regenerate for zinc air batteries for a small fleet of trucks in 1995. A company in Canada is doing something similar for power storage. The bundepost could generate 100kg per hour but it took 750kg to fuel a truck for 200 miles carrying 2 metric tons. My question is, how do you rinse and preserve the powder so I can make my own zinc air batteries? Thank you so very much!

Can you please make a vidfeo when maufacturing Raney-nickel catalyst. It's a superior catalyst in organic chemistry and does the same job as Pt/C, Pd/C and PtO2 but to a fraction of the nobel catalyst's

thank for this video. can I make lead powder from lead oxide with same method_?

Hey, would you like to make a video where you synthetise menthol? I cannot find it anywhere and I thought it might be quite interesting.

Hardware store has "galvanizing" paint which I sprayed into beaker of naphtha (thinner) and the zinc powder was reactive with aryl chloride. I cheated by using an ultrasonic source to stimulate the slow zinc reaction. Sonication stimutates grignard start and really seams to help with multiphase reactions (e.g. conc NaHSO4, NaBr, MeOH > MeBr). We took a grinder to a welding "zinc" but powder was too oxidized needed activation.

awsome video man

Can I use a copper anode? Also, can I dissolve zinc casings from dead batteries to make the sodium zincate solution? After all, both zinc and zinc oxide dissolves in sodium hydroxide

hello sir, can you make a tutorial for melting tin into powder... for tin paste. hope the sustenance is smooth and the channel is growing

Wow I love it thank you for video

Could I.use a zinc anode? and would that transfer zinc to the copper cathode?

can this zinc powder be used to carry out the clemmensen reduction?

This is an old video but much appreciated. Very cool, although would using ZnCl2 work as a substitute for the oxide? I have a bunch of ZnCl2 that I don’t have a use for and zinc powder is def something I have wanted to play with. Great work as always 👍🏻

Hi, when i have drop my PGM’s with zinc can i recover the zinc I’ve used this way? thanks

Now how can I melt the zinc powder back down into solid zinc? I happened to come into possession of a large quantity of zinc powder, and every time I try to melt it into bulk zinc, it just burns. I don't have the wherewithal to put it under inert gas. Ideas?

FYI industrially zinc is plated using alkaline cyanide bath and also alkaline pyrophosphate solution. Rem electromotive force series is different in alkaline vs acid e.g. hydrogen is 0.0 volts in acid and -0.8 volts in alkali. Also the area around the negative electrode attracts zinc positive ions not negative zincate ions; need agitation.

Could you explain why this process gives a spongy zinc layer and an acid process does not?

@NurdRage I am wanting to purify some zinc for our periodic table. My source material is some rather nasty corroded zinc from dead zinc-chloride batteries. I have saved the manganese dioxide / electrolyte paste and carbon electrodes.i am just wondering if a lye in water solution will dissolve the zinc and zinc oxides, maybe chlorides or other corrosion products? Would the electrolysis process then leave contaminates in solution and maybe also form an anode sludge of less soluble material? I am not a chemist, just trying to work things out to keep my two son's interested in doing these experiments.

Can you make a video on how to Recycle zinc sulfate.... how to separate the zinc from sulfuric acid and not destroy the acid other then distillation. I tried with Electrolysis, the moment I cut the power the zinc goes back into solution. even diluting the solution, I can't get the zinc out fast enough. Or maybe it's just not possible?

Any reason why this process creates a sponge versus a plate like the acid process?

can you show us how to make brass solution or how to make activator?

Is it also possible to use ather metals like RVS for the anode and kathode of something?

Is there any substance works in the place of sodium acetate to form zinc powder

How energy hungry of a process is this? How many joules of energy for a gram of Zinc yeld? I know i could check the Delta G of the reaction but how energy efficient of a process is this?

how to activate zinc to use it as a reducing agent with acetic acid?

what mesh size of zinc particles will this produce?

Hey NurdRage, will you be doing your Q&A's anytime soon, or is that series dead?

I'll be honest... we... I need more videos! :)

Is it pure zinc? Cuz I'll react it with methyl iodide to make methylzinc

Don't forget that you can purify zinc in this method very efficiently with little to no waste products

What are you going to use the Zn for?

If you take the zinc out, scrape it off, and wash it immediately 3 times with dH20, then twice with acetone, you have yourself activated zinc. Be sure to dry it under an inert atmosphere because it is pyrophoric.

Sir how much walts and amps have to be given

Can u use potassium hydroxide inside of sodium hydroxide?

Can this be done with tin oxide? to make tin powder.

Can we separate zinc from copper sulphate electrolyte by this method??

Can another metal be used at the anode?

It work It i put a block of zinc and not zinc oxide?

Hi sir I want to extract zinc from zinc ash please do a video on that.

Great video: Do ​​I need to wash with hot water? A second question: Can we use it for precipitation, but rather aqua regia?

It would be good to reduce iodoalkanes. Like reducing iodocyclohexane to cyclohexane using zinc powder and acetic acid.

I know that a person can get aluminum chloride by dissolving aluminum in hydrochloric acid, is it possible to reverse this to get aluminum from aluminum chloride? If it is possible how is it done?

you must use a wire at cathode that would prevent zinc plating and give you crystals of zinc.

Can you remove zinc plating by electrolysis?

Can you show how to anodize zinc?

Can I use carbon instead of nickel?

Would this work with sodium carbonate rather than sodium hydroxide?

Simple shape where zink use...wich parts machinary have...please i want

but will it clean the zinc from lead, cadmium etc? I've read that ammonium carbonate can do it somehow

can you show us how to make tin powder?

what is that metal or bullet something at the first?

can aluminum b done like this

Will sodium hydrogen sulfate work instead

for aluminum, same process can be done with sodium aluminate ??

would there be any reaction with the copper circuit board and if yes then what would be produced ?

Can I use this process to obtain titanium from titanium oxide?

Actually, I have no single idea about all this but I find this enjoyable to watch since very long time. :)

A question, please. Is the zinc oxide I made now toxic or non-toxic.?

مرحبا صديقي هل يصلح الزنك هذه الترسيب الذهب من الملكي

NurdRage I have a question why you used zinc oxide to be dissolved in the sodium hydroxide solution if sodium hydroxide reacts with zinc at the same way?

❤ thank you

Are you ever going to make any more chemical resistance videos? I would quite like to see palladium (which apparently dissolves in nitric acid alone, unlike platinum).

Can you show how to make ANILINE DYE? (PURPLE MAUVE) color.

Can you make aluminum powder by electrolysis??

How do you control the voltage? I want to do something like this for an IB chemistry investigation. I plan on exploring how different voltages affect the rate of reaction using the method you used in this video.

What voltage and how much current did you use? Did you use AC or DC?

it is so useful

Your solution gets clear so quick. Lol

can KOH be used?

can you do this with aluminium?

Can you use zinc anode in concentrated sodium hydroxide solution so that you leach zinc from anode and deposit it as a powder on cathode?

How to powdering tin?

Does the nickel electrode wear?

Can we do this with aluminium also ?

@NurdRage Can this work with Magnesium Chloride or Magnesium Hydroxide?

what was the color of zinc oxide ??? I didn't see it well

It would be interesting to see the electroless zinc plating of aluminum using the zincate process. You're more than half way there.

Could this work with aluminum?

This is slightly terrifying... totally amazing

Very nice Video! But I have a question: Can you do the same procedure with aluminum oxide? Or do you need a different solvent?

Can I make nickel powder the same way?

I didn't think it was possible to reduce zinc metal out of water. Really glad you posted this, now I can finally use that giant bag of zinc oxide for something and won't have to grind down zinc for powder anymore.

What were the volts and amps you were using to make zinc?

Voltase? Ampere?

what voltage did you apply?

Are you no longer answering patron questions? good!

I don't understand, why it aggregates, not plating 3:57

How can I contact you??
