Best description of this channel lmfao. I can watch this all day

Wonder what upfront and overhead costs are to produce this kind of yield

Happy little crystals.

What a great gift. Kind of you sir🌹

Careful with the platinum. Platinosis is a terrible way to die.

@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 you can clear coat them with polyurethane to seal in chemicals and materials.

Is there a sreetips Platinum Plating video i missed ? Please link me in. Sounds interesting.

@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 why is it i cant find any information about platinosis

There are many more out there like him. Probably 50,000 creators...You just have to find them in the 51,000,000 channels.

I’m going out on a limb here; but I’d have to say that my videos of precious metals refining are the best, most comprehensive, and easiest to understand, on the entire internet.

@AC haha no dude I'm a real guy, I just get excited by weird stuff is all, looking at the comment though it really does kind of like a bot, thanks for the laugh man

How much $$$ did you make?

What are you talking about? What idiot throws away precious metals?

What do we throw away? How are we throwing precious metals away?

Everything in the material realm is a crystal at some level.

@@bjpcorp "Material realm" Yeah this dude is a wizard too

Wizardy, chemistry... what's the difference?

@@EvolQ basically the same thing to me who hasn’t studied chem in years

Take an upper class college level chemistry class. Most chemistry major students chose chemistry because they like tangible outcomes (unlike physics which deals a lot in theory despite the niche of physics)-meaning they are wicked smart…and they are only the students. Masters, PHD candidates and professors are on par with this alchemist which is next level creative and mastery in ingenuity not just a solid understanding of bench chemistry

I dunno about this type of recovery but it's definitely worth gathering up to sell. I probably average 10k a year in scrap I gather up. Working in the trades helps but anyone can make a few grand a year with minimal effort.

@@okgroomer1966 dude shhhhh dont blow up the game

@@ospjp4 Don't worry, most people are to lazy or think they're above pulling things out of the trash. I've tried to get many into scrapping and the number one excuse is they're to embarrassed to dig in trash.

SREETIPS HAS ALREADY DONE VIDEOS ON THE SILVER SLIMES PRECIOUS METALS RECOVERY AND REFINING IN THE PLAYLIST VIDEOS ON HIS KZfaq CHANNEL

Have I already seen those videos? Yes! Will I watch new ones covering the subject yet again? Absolutely yes!

PGM refining are much more difficult chemistry than go;d and silver. I seem to remember Sreetips admitting it isn’t something he does often, so separating the PGMs is not a skill he has developed via repetition and incremental improvement.

​@@MATTER767 WHY ARE YOU YELLING

@@coxy623 I am not a bot I really do enjoy the sight of the crystal formations silver makes.

That's a sweet idea

Not exactly. He used 650 grams of silver to "seed" his electrolyte. So his yield was actually only 529 grams. Price of silver is currently $0.75/gram = $396.75

I use the electrolyte twice. I reserve about 400g from each harvest to make electrolyte for future runs of the silver cell. I harvest average 1.5 kilos of per silver from each run. So two runs gives me 3 kilos of pure silver. I reserve 800g (400g from each run) to make new electrolyte. The net gain is 3 kilos minus 0.8 kilos (800g) equals 2.2 kilos. So that’s 2.2 kilos that get deposited into my savings. My savings are NOT in paper dollars. My savings is held in PURE SILVER.

@@sreetips As a silver bug ,I'm am completely jealous of you sir!

Isn't that one of the seven deadly sins?

@@sreetips yeah , but it was a joke 😁

@@coxy623 what are you saying?

@@coxy623 what's your problem?

@@coxy623 you got your name right coz your a DICK !!! 😂😂😂

@@coxy623 get a life... 😉

Thank you!

Make sure and do it in a fume hood.

I’ll be making a new video of constructing a second silver cell from scratch. Been planning it for years. Just haven’t found the time to make it happen. Watch for the video and thank you for the kind words!

@@sreetips anytime and I'll be waiting professor!

@@sreetips - hello sir! Found your channel a month or so ago and it is just amazing to me. I want to tackle this as a hobby myself and am super interested. Where can an individual find the silver shot or feed stock? I do not currently have the resource from gold refining to melting cement silver to generate the impure silver as you apparently have. Any advice or resource for this part of your process? I firmly believe I can get the remaining steps accomplished. Looks like a great hobby and DIY project. Thanks for your time and appreciate all you share!

This is fake you know that right?

The anode bar should not come into contact with the solution, otherwise it will dissolve. The bar is just there to conduct electricity to the impure silver shot in the basket and it is the shot which is in contact with the solution to dissolve. As the conductivity of the shot is high enough, there is no use for more contact points.

Roughly 98 to 99 grams of crystal per 100 grams of shot (that shot is 98% to 99% pure silver).

​@@apveening how? Is it run through multiple times? Seemed like the spent shot removed from the cell was around 60% of the amount that went in. If 90+% of it is silver shouldn't it almost completely dissolve?

@@KickRocksClowns You overlooked the refills.

@@apveening As in the spent shot is run again? Multiple times?

@@KickRocksClowns No, more shot is added to replace dissolved shot.

That would be awesome. I don’t have the right equipment. I’m just a hobbyist.

Not recommended

Hahaha!

Thanks Arne!

I love watching that happen.

If it’s the same type material then yes that would be much less expensive.

Welcome and thank you!

I moved mic well away from my mouth. I couldn’t even watch some of those from the popping noises.

Agree whit you😊. Sreetips is the best. Have a nice day. Arne

Can never have too much glass

I bought all my glassware on eBay.

3.3 to 3.8 volts DC is what the professional refiners taught me. I tend to get better crystals that are large during the first use of the electrolyte. It’s hard to duplicate. Too many variables.

I have a video. I bought Stay-silv 15 and refined the silver from them. It wasn’t easy. Video of it posted on my channel.

You should collect those left overs in a bucket and save them.

His waste stream is copper metal, rust and a salt solution of sodium sulfate, sodium chloride, and sodium nitrate. His precious metal recovery is quantitative…

Hold on! I’m not making silver out of thin air. I’m refining impure silver into high purity silver.

@@sreetips 🫣😳😝, Right🤣😂👏

I’ll adjust the voice over to get them better match.

Less than two hundred bucks

No for two reasons: 1) using pure silver to inquart is a step in the wrong direction because it’s already been through the silver cell. 2) I have much sterling silver and the first step in refining it is to dissolve in hot dilute nitric. Finally, sterling silver has copper and it makes a wonderful color indicator that lets me know when I’ve got it all out of the gold.

I don’t know. Some of it plates out on the cathode

Because I really don’t want to sell any silver. I keep raising the price and folks just keep buying it.

@@sreetips I appreciate your honest response. It is a truly gorgeous finished product and I love the idea of refining your own savings in that way. Cheers mate!

Welcome!

I’ve had them crack by placing them on the heat with no liquid.

Barber?

I use 800g of pure silver and get two runs of the silver cell from that. Each run produces about 1.5 kilos of pure silver.

We do alright.
