How to easily recover gold from scrap computer chips 

And then you're going to dump all of your chemical waste into the municipal sewer system, right?

Why can’t you just melt it off with a propane torch?

why would you pour the acid without gloves and near your coffee..

the amount of unsafe chemistry is unreal in this video.

You called your wife and dog "babe".... hehe!

break a dollar to make a penny.

hmm the husband with safety goggles and respirator but the wife and dog without THIS IS A SET UP RUN LADY RUN take the dog and run...poor lady she even sounded high

Might be better to sell on ebay for $2, ship in envelope for .50, you make about 1.25 each after fees. No lung damage. No blindness.

How many hours of work did you do? And how much did you get paid for your work? That doesn't look very efficient.

As I was watching this, I noticed how close you put your coffee mug to the acid bath. Also, you got pretty careless during the straining stage, by not wearing your goggles or gloves. This could have turned out like a Three Stooges episode. :/

I love that you guys are having so much fun doing this together - that's more precious than the gold to reclaimed. Next time take your spray bottle and wet your filter before you start pouring. It works better.

love the way your coffee is next to the 2nd day container when you pour, hope no splashes =)

That is amazing to think of all the old phones and computers I have thrown away over the years not knowing there was treasure in that junk! Thanks for showing me the way!

You're a modern day alchemist! Congratulations on extracting gold!

Never drink a cup of anything on a table holding acid.

it's the best one I've seen yet thank you; just curious though how many of them computer fingers did you half to do to get that jar of gold ???

I like how poured acid next to his coffee but "please wear gloves folks it's acid" ha ha

Many years ago I worked for a company that made circuit boards and the amount of gold used to plate contacts is very very small - around the equivalent of one ounce per square yard so I am not surprised at the low yield. Regarding alternative methods of getting the contacts off of the circuit boards - if you melt them off you need to find a way of removing the copper and nickel from the gold. Typically the gold layer is about 1 to 1,5 microns thick (that's 1 to 1.5 thousandths of a millimetre) the nickel is 4 to 5 microns and the copper is normally about 35 microns thick. The dissolving method is the best way to remove the copper and nickel to leave just the gold as melting the contacts first would produce a gold/nickel/copper alloy which is much harder to separate.

That's so cool LifeBuzzN. Loved your videos, most informative and educated I've seen on the subject. Thanks, hope to watch a lot more of your other types videos soon too.
