Not bad Chief... $350-400 bucks that didn't get wasted in the bucket...WE'RE rolling now!! 🤣

With nearly daily vids.. I've never bought a bottle of acid, do not own a silver cell made from my wife's discarded kitchen equipment, and really don't want to have to worry about nitric eating the wrong set of gloves... But, based on the last year's of watching... I'm pretty sure i can do a mad max style purification to get me through the apocalypse.. Thanks Mr Sreetips

Im hypnotized by these videos. Fascinating!

It would be interesting if you did a video like the jewelers floor video but with your own melt table and floor sweepings.

This channel never ceases to amaze me, what I learn watching is amazing, then hitting the comments, it's like a perfect circle. Thanks everyone!

I really enjoyed the silver drying on the heat. Very satisfying. Thanks for the content!

Both the dirty shot and the cleaner shot looks great to my new eyes, I really loved this video being so different from your others, thanks for the wonderful videos they make my days for sure!

I'm glad you made these videos

Glad you had your typical shot to compare it to. That was awesome. I hate it creates the high level of waste but there’s always give and take. Time or energy

Good Afternoon Sreetips 🤠 Thank you for your dedication and for sharing your experience with us. God Bless. 🙏

Wow, the time lapse of the silver drying was incredible!

It would be cool to see you do a video of a deep clean of your shop and refine all the dust you clean up!! Thanks

Hey Senior, how about some nice big Silver bars!!

Very nice series. Love it.

Super interesting !!!! So much faster than cementing with copper 😮

Really enjoyed it, would love to learn one day.

Great work team! Keep up the good work chief.

Oh my, that silver shot is so bright compared to the other container. 👍🏻❤️

@0:30 You could have bubbled carbon dioxide into the solution to form sodium carbonate, which would have a good solubility in hot water, so rinsing it would be quicker. In your last video, perhaps you could have used an electrical pH-meter to reduce the added sodium hydroxide in the first place. Thank you for your great videos!

I have noticed that you throw a little cemented silver and sometimes even gold on the table and it reaches the floor. It would be fun if you cleaned your workshop/lab and purified all the dust to see how much silver/gold comes out.

Mr. Tips. Could you please refine the slimes from the silver cell? Yer' easily in my top 3 channels. Thanks. I've learned so much.

Truly Amazing!

Excellent video, as always. Would the higher purity shot affect the slimes produced in the anode filter basket? Or is that more of a product of the electrolyte?

Hi Sreetips! Great vid again! Question for you, could you use that caustic waste liquid to drop the iron out of your final waste bucket?

You are welcome. Another 1/2kg brought back to life! Thank you Sir!👍👍🤟

That's a great yeald sir well done six stars brother

Very fascinating, thank you so much for these video series! I can tell that there's so much work involved, let alone filming and editing. Slightly disappointed that you don't try to recover the copper as well, must not be valuable enough for the trouble I guess. Still though, very thorough and impressive work.

Goooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great afternoon!

Always interesting!

Enjoyed this we would love to see a beautiful silver bar one day when you don't need the silver to use for the silver cell 😊

love your content.. awesome!!!!!!!

It will be interesting to see the resulting crystal structures from this more pure finer silver shot ...

Hello cheif I'm trying to process an amount of our silver scraps, and I'm trying to determine the best methode nitric boils or just smelting and cupelling want to try a sample ?? Thanks

Also, look into narration/voice over. You do have a unique voice and cadence that could lend itself to certain things with ease.

Love your vids. Thanks for the hard work. Why not weigh the Silver Chloride to determine the amount of Sodium Hydroxide to add?

Loving it!!

Back in the 2000s almost all rubber gloves were purple. I remember when black came out and how expensive they were.

Awesome video beautiful silver shot thanks for sharing sreetips

Could you use something like white vinegar to neutralize the alkalinity? Water works, but would that ruin the silver?

Night and Day difference Sreetips 🏴‍☠️ Excellent Work 🐉

The description of the careful melting method made me think about if it could be possible to be even more economical with the torch gases. If only some of the heat that is being lost to the air could be trapped or reflected back onto the melting area. I'm sure some sort of lid (with a hole in it for the torch) was tried in the industry, but the gases still need to escape somewhere, and maybe that's where most of the heat loss happen. I wonder if an infrared camera (the kind that laptop reviewers like to use to demonstrate heat distribution) would provide some insights into the heat distribution patterns around the melting table. I imagine there's a rising column of hot air above the crucible... or maybe air currents go in every kind of direction due to the pressure of the burning gases...

wow it really does look like wet cement so very cool Sreetips .

Is this some kind of new procedure for you or something of am I just not been on the channel in a while this is really cool

Nice recovery sir. Does the reaction need the heat in order for the reaction to react faster? Or can you do an ice bath. Ty Chief as always. Chemistry is much more fun with you. 👍

If you do more gold inquarting, would you use this impure shot or some flatware?

Have you thought about either switching out that big cutting nozzle on your torch for a finer one? That and not turning your gas and O2 up so high would help control blowout. You could also probably just use a brazing torch instead of a cutting torch, although it wouldn't be as fast.

I use a different method on my Silver Chloride because I don’t like working with lye. The end result is still the same but it does take a little bit longer.

Can you use weak acetic acid to neutralize the lye quicker? The sodium acetate would be very soluble.

Nice and that almost pure silver shot will be Ulta pure when you run it through the silver cell

Could you use the powder form of the silver in the 6 liter and convert the powder to silver crystals

Good job

have you checked the use of an oxy-propane torch, it should reach the temps you need and it would be cheaper than acetylene

That is much cleaner looking shot than usual.

If you were to wait a few days to a week after the lye reaction would it stabilize naturally?

What would happen if you just melt the silver powder directly into a graphite mold in the electric furnace ? Always asked myself this question. Thanks 👍🏻✌🏻🇨🇦

I’m so glad there was the side by side comparison. The silver chloride conversion method looks so much nicer. With silver shot like that you could almost use your electrolyte 3 times in the cell?

Is it possible just to put the powder into the basket bypassing the shot process?

the other downside of this silver chloride method is you have to do so much lifting and pouring (pouring in the rinse water and pouring the rinse water out, and lifting rinsewater buckets around) i guess you cpuld do siphons instead, or some may consider that not a downside but a benefit from the physical activity. but my point is the silver cell method is less labor intensive and less liquid waste going around

I know you are showing other methods for converting silver , Which do you prefer ?

Just out of curiosity why don’t you use graphite crucibles instead of the ceramic??? You don’t have to “season” them and they can potentially last longer too…

How do you go about retrieving the silver that is adhered to the melt dish?

What would happen if you just put the cement silver powder directly into the silver cell basket instead of melting it and creating shot first? (as it's fairly pure already)

What respirator do you recommend for the acid fumes?

Adding dilute acidic acid very slowly from your nitric delivery system to the lye base rinse should help neutralize the solution and make it easier to rinse = less volume. A pH indicator for 7 would help as well.

Hello Mrs and Mr Sreetips... Always thing to do as a refiner🌺🌺 Nice clip as always Sir🌺 God bless you🙂🌺🌺

Why do the individual granules have different colors? Does it have to do with the amount of oxygen exposure the molten silver gets before it hits the water? I would assume every piece of shot from the same molten metal would come out with the same color.

Random question: is it possible to make an electrolytic gold cell?

Can you just let a fan blow over the waste liquid bucket to evaporate the liquid down to a powder which is easier to get rid off?

I think your electrolyte will last longer with this more pure batch of silver shot. Might be worth it to get your regular silver shot to this purity???

He put the lime in the coconut 😂

❤ the video.

I wanna try this before i die, i'm writing down how many buckets i need, you could say i'm making a bucket list 😂

You should consider upgrading and buying a kiln. The melting phase seems to be the lowest capacity part of your refining process. Current process is also not energy efficient and cost of refining could be reduced with a kiln.

First thing this made me realise. It doesnt take a lot of copper to affect drasticly the colornof the silver shots. Second this, you should defenetly run the clean silver in the silver cell before the dirty silver.

The King of Conversion.....

what happen if when you rinse it, it doesnt gets into lower ph? and also, could you boil it over and over to get the PH down?

Dear sir for gold precipitation how much pH leval on Aqua regia

Would this silver produce more silver in the silver cell than impure silver? 🤔

I pretty sure you'd get silver and gold off the sweeps from your melt table.

50 👍's up sreetips thank you for sharing 🤗

i have around 2kg of silver that i need to refine would u do it for me street tip lz

Since you're doing this in a fume hood, couldn't you just heat the Silver Chloride to liberate the Chlorine leaving just pure Silver behind without the need for all of the washings?

Why can't you evaporate the liquid waste and then dispose of the leftover solids accordingly etc?

Hi wir warten das sie mit rodium und irudium ein Video machen,,,damit das wir mit pgm endlich drauf haben ❤ mit eure Videos haben wir gold pilatin ,paladium siber ein meister geworden danke cik tauzend mahl 🎉,aber rodium und irudium feinigen können wir keinen ,mfg.. ich hoffe bald ❤

Witam witam i pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 🇵🇱👍 👍👍 Good job 👊

Now I see why you do it the way you do. Silver chloride is a pain to deal with.

Just wondering why you created silver shot? Could you not just put spoonfuls of cement silver into the basket of the silver cell?

12:37 well, as a leather worker once told me, if you want to make money you need to find a way to make things from your scraps! I’ll take half a kilo of waste bucket silver any day! Haha

500+grams! 🎉

It still amazes me that the mapp gas torch just doesn't quite melt that much silver. The flame is about twice as hot as the melting point for silver. I understand the science of it but it still seems unintuitive to me.

you can see the gold or coper in the new shot.

Just to let anyone know who does not know… when you empty a pack of your ph test strips aka litmus paper… you have another row worth at the bottom where it is stapled into the pack. #labhack

i know youve got lots of silver sitting around, have you ever thought about casting some into something unique that you find interesting just for fun, or to sell at a premium since then it would be "art" and not bulk

$395 is not a bad payday. 👍🏻

You couldve added a small amount of hcl to lower the ph then you wouldve had less waste solution to deal witj

Why do you have to melt this into shot. Can't you just use it in the silver cell as is?

did you count how many times you used the pipit to pull liquid out of the silver lol

U should get a turkey baster for taking more out of the dish😊

6:40 for forbidden pudding
