😂such a delicate balance of F'n around and finding out. Always enjoy your chemistry lessons

I've seen some incredible things in my 58 yrs on this earth. However, what you did in this silver processing video by adding sugar, of all things, to the silver oxide blew me away!😮 Your step by step procedure tonight has just earned a place in my top 5 of the most remarkable and beyond incredible things I've ever seen. I truly want to thank you for the time you took to make this video. It's truly an amazing and spectacular experience ✨️ You Rock, sir!

🎶 a spoon full of sugar makes the silver drop right out 🎶

There are so many ways to convert these metals into different versions. My mind gets blown everytime I watch your videos. Please keep them coming I thoroughly enjoy them

I know copper is small fry compared to gold and silver but... Man with how diligent you are at maximizing each waste treatment, I'm shocked you just get rid of it!!

I have been watching longer than a decade and I've never seen this before. Thank you for showing the process sir 👌🏻

You make great content. Keep up the good work and I really appreciate you mixing things up and not doing the same job over and over.

Goooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night!

I don't know what you do with all your note sheets, but if you keep them, I would love a video on how much gold you lose over the course of 6 months or so, and a follow up on refining the gold waste from that time to see how much of your "lost" gold is recovered in the long run.

Silver Chloride: Such a pretty, Smurfy-Blue way to die.

Greetings Sreetips, I noticed something in your previous video about harvesting your new larger silver cell. AS you recall, you placed the anode foot on silver blocks that you said were some failed silver anode feet. My theory is that by you doing so, you created a sort of barrier between the anode and the impure silver shot-thereby allowing the silver blocks as a foundation to take the brunt of the slime damage that can happen to the anode foot in previous setups. You also are potentially making better, more efficient contact for the current flow. If I’m correct, you could always use blocks of silver as a barrier and hardly ever need to replace your anode foot in the future.

My great grandfather lived in Chloride, New Mexico. May have died of silicosis. On the other side of the family was a mining engineer/deputy who moved on from Colorado into the southwest looking for silver.

That exothermic reaction was fascinating. Who would have thought there was so much trapped energy in there? I compare this to the mild warmth from mixing cement / concrete and this is insane! Thanks for posting a truly compelling process! You are a true chemist Sir! Please everybody give this a thumbs up!

I love how far you have come since i first saw you on the forum. I think we started on the forum at the same time. You mastered the processes👍👍 From New Zealand 🇳🇿

Would like to see you do one video on how to plate out the copper from your stock pot. I know it's not really something you are interested in, but it might make a neat addition to your metal reaction series.

I have been watching your past video. The things you have done. Refining virtually every precious metal known. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make your channel. You are awesome.

Really enjoyed this demonstration!

You make this seem so cost effective, seems as if nothing goes to waste !

This was a great video, cant waot for part 2, Wish you did more of this conversion

It’s good to see a basic solution when every other refining you’ve done deal with acidic solutions.

Fascinating conversion!

Wow! Had a Mythbuster's vibe.. :) Thank your Sreetips. Proof what Sugar does to the Human Body. 😁

Fascinating demonstration. Been waiting for this one. cheers!

I love this. This is the kind of thorough, well thought, well explained, accurate information I’ve come to expect from this channel. It excellent seeing the full path your processes take and seeing the waste end of it safely covered also. Thank you!

I was worried you weren’t gonna get a video out on Easter! I appreciate all your work that you do. I love all your content!

Thanks! I had forgotten about this method.

Very spectacular reactions, I loved that you showed the temperature of these. Awesome ❤👍🏻

Great lesson. Very cool process.

Wow, what a reaction! Great stuff Sreetips

Thnk u, for explaining and showing along, u are gold

I really enjoy your videos and I’m thinking about starting an electrolytic silver cell. It’s very interesting and a great way to get silver vs paying over spot prices.

All this knowledge and techniques! Impressive as always boss. Really fabulous.

This is just the video I needed!

very cool to see how you process the silver chlorides, i like the use of the siphons

Thank God bless you❤

And me thinking sugar in the title would be an april fools since in my timezone it was published on April 1st.... Great video sir!

Pretty fascinating stuff this. It's like practical chemistry.

I’ll take what little silver chloride I collect and use soda ash to convert it in the crucible. I just don’t like the amount of waste water I get from this method. I’m glad you did another take. I forgot how exothermic this reaction is.

very cool process I really like this one.

You are a great Alchemist Sreetips 🏴‍☠️✨

Thank you sreetips for this very enjoyable video it's always a pleasure watching your channel I learn from you constantly six stars sir

hey tips long time no see ,now your just showing what i like about you ever want to show your folks working my claim in new mex

I always wondered about the waste. I knew you didnt dump it down the drain. What an interesting setup you have. You ever get to go on vacation? Seems like you always have something to do or refine. Thanks for the great content. I dont know if I'll ever have enough scrap around to try. All the retiree's beat me to the good stuff. Ha.

This is really amazing. Have you thought of using ice throughout the sugar phase to help control the temp or is the heat needed for a proper reaction?

shalom from norway brother

I got my 1oz of silver crystals Saturday. I love them, they're so wild!

I think you make Bigstack cry when you throw out copper.

Good work team

When you put the sugar in its like its got a mind of its own!

Muito bom! Porque você não recupera o cobre também? Não poderia fundir ele novamente?

Excellent Work Sreetips 🏴‍☠️ Thank you for sharing with us. God Bless 🙏 Hail Science 🧪

ohhh this gonna an interesting one Lye and Sugar.

Greetings, great work. I have silver chloride, but it is fossilized. I want to melt it again. What should I do?

Love the content my friend. Have you ever refined gold nuggets?

Where do you dispose of treated chemicals ive alway wondered about that is there a place you take it or is it safe enough for thd drain asking because if i try to refine i want to be doing it properly that includes getting rid of the waste Happy Easter SREETIPS another great informative video

Great video can't wait until next video and melt into silver bar thanks for sharing sreetips

It hurts seeing copper wasted like that lol I know it isn't nearly as valuable as PM's. I actually call it red gold 😂 Perhaps one day when I attempt refining, I can conjure up an efficient process to collect most the metals. Funny thing is, I may find myself in a similar position tossing out the iron LOL! Now THAT'S cheap! Iron seems more like money than our fiat these days.. Seriously, Sreetips. Another excellent video!

🎵Just a spoon full of suggar maks the medicine go down... No, the silver get hot , makes the silver get hot, the silver get. Just a spoon full of sugger..... Ahhhg let put an other one in. Smöred pred 🎵Smöred pred, pred, pred, pred, pred,🤙 🙈I nearly had a heard attack. Wow that was some action . Thamks for sharing.

Yeah, this looks a lot more messy than using nitric acid and copper. Fortunately you don't have to do it very often and it does make good content. Thanks for another interesting video.

If you've tried this with clean silver chloride, then the red brown liquid may be caramelized sugars. Reduction of carbohydrates plus heat forms complex sugars.

Very interesting.

amazing

20:50 speed this up by filling the beaker with each rinse. You use smaller rinses with consumables such as distilled water or expensive solvents.

Hi Sreetips, thanks for the video. Over the many years I have been seeing you I was always amazed at your process. I don't know what types of deals you are getting for your nitric acid, but I think that you could profit from your copper nitrate solution. Nurdrage has a video about the full recovery of the nitric acid from the copper nitrate. On it he converts the CuNO3 to Copper sulfate using sulfuric acid and distills off the nitric acid, then he makes electrolysis of the copper sulfate to recover the metalic copper in a plate and the sulfuric acid remains separated. I don't know if it's going to be economical to you but check out that video

Kinda off video topic for the day, so the aqua regia will put the gold foils from GF material because it’s so thin? If so can I put real thin karat material into a GF batch? Like say earring studs beat flat?

Are you not able to take the copper that you recover and use it in your silver treatment bucket? Is it too impure? Surely you would just have to melt it into ingots and re-use it.

thought the bucket was for an ice bath, would that help in any way or do you want the boiling to happen

What is the purpose of the sugar in the reaction? Sugar is just carbon hydrogen and oxygen, right? Ts it there to add energy to the reaction ?

Chief, with the price of copper going up you might want to salvage the copper from your treatment buckets.

Sreetips, have you run the cost on making copper through electrolysis ? I heard it Pennies to run and you will get the slimes to process for other precious metals…

Part 2 is just popcorn it after melting it to create for silver shot for the silver cell?

Although sugar is readily available, other reductants such as formaldehyde or formate might give you much cleaner product.

Wouldn't scrap yards (with its own copper furnace) still take that contaminated copper? Maybe if that copper was melted into shot and let sit in water to rust out the ferrous metal? Just thinking of how to get a few bucks a lb for that stuff for scrap. Worst case might get brass prices?

Curious. How do you prove for Silver Chloride? I have a 2500 ml beaker with red solution. No reaction from testing with Stanous. As the solution is Red, I can't tell if the is a reaction from Swartz, as Swartz is orange to begin with. I tried 22K testing solution also. No reaction. It's definitely something, I just have no idea what. Any thoughts, my friend? Palladium, Platinum, Rhodium?

Which one u think drops a cleaner gold oxolic acid or copperous, (iron sulfate)?

Alternative Title: You Won't BELIEVE how much SUGAR is in CAUSTIC SODA!!!

I got some silver chloride in my silver stock pot along with the cemented silver and other metals. Any tips on how to separate that when I go to refine my silver stock pot?

I realize chlorine/ tap water is ok with NaCl but how is chloramine or the polyacrylamides used in flocculation among other minerals that preexisted or leach in during transport effect Silver Chloride?

The lye and sugar method produces a lot of waste. How do you process the waste?

Sreetips, does the Silver Chloride have a " chlorine " smell to it or does it smell like something all together different?

Have you ever had this reaction not GO. A few times I went to convert AgCl to Ag and it never converted to Ag. It just stayed as AgO.

Instead of hydrochloric acid to precipitate the silver chloride, would salt work? It has the Cl ions for the chloride, and should give you sodium nitrate as waste. Unless you want the nitric acid as waste.

Why siphon out of the beakers instead of pouring? Less chance of powder leaving the beaker?

Also , Keep up the Great Work

does the silver chloride smell anything like the chlorine used in cleaning products? Was wondering if you could describe the scents of your refining process. A video with you telling bad stories of what happens when there is a big mistake or the wrost mistakes you've made would also be appreciated

Looking forward to part 2

Bros found a way to spawn infinite money lol

Have you ever tried to reduce silver from silver chloride by letting it to be in sunlight?

Does it make bad fumes?

I am curious how do you know it spatters averiwhere 🙄😬

So I have a question. Does it have to be "iron" in particular? Would mild steel work? I ask because technically mild steel would be more pure in elemental iron than "iron" as we call it. Mild steel should only be about 0.2 percent carbon and if I remember my metallurgy correctly the carbon percentage of what we call steel goes up to about 2.5 percent or so before we start calling it "iron". Most cast iron has much more carbon. Both have varying levels of alloying metals like manganese, nickel, etc based off of what it was originally alloyed for. Just a curious thought. 👍

werewolf and Vampire Bulit making material lol

I understand it looks spectecular with the hot, boiling liquid, but its although dangerous. Do you know how to support a exotermic reaction ?

Remembering found some old silver stash that someone back in 50's robbed buried along some road documented the guy got prison time because he got caught by finger prints before he could dig up loot got kill in a car accident ! I Had to turn the loot did get some the silver back in coins as a reward but left it with my mom when I was in the service then geuss what she was robbed ! 😂

you can try to add some ice to it to controll it better

Silver Hydroxide on heating decomposes to give silver, oxygen gas and water.

Can the chloride be burned off in a kiln?

Have you noticed how that brown liquid smells like burnt sugar? It’s because it is! the sugar, in reducing the silver oxide to silver metal, becomes oxidized itself.

How do you know the resulting mud is 999 fine? Have you ever had a sample assayed?

😅 “if you do it right” and if not you will be looking at the down stairs neighbor through the floor.
