😱😱👉 ♻️ 💰How to make gold from HDD hard disks drive old computer Original gold extraction.@MakeGold 👉 / archimedeschannel
Start by finding old or broken computers and separating the hard disk from these old computers.
for personal computer you may get Most only one hard drive. But if it's a computer server or corporate computer super computer Mainframes have a large number of hard drives.
Separate the IC chips from the circuit board.
For extracting gold from drive hard disks today we are going to do IC chips using gold extraction method. traditional past Which is not often seen nowadays. Some steps. I still don't understand the principle and reason. Is it a gold smelting method?
Burn IC chips to ashes.To make it easier to gold smelting.
You may pound or grind it. Then mixed with borax at a ratio of 1 to 1.
This type of furnace uses old oil for heating. It's used engine oil.
All metals are fused together. We will get metal that is mixed with gold. to take to the next step
I see workers who specialize in the work. Use cement mixed with water to re-smelt the gold alloy. I'm still wondering what this procedure is for. Or just reduce the size of the metal to a smaller size. To make it easier for nitric acid to handle these metals. and left only gold
The metal will be melted. and was poured into the water to get a smaller size as needed
Use nitric acid mixed with water 1 to 2. Boil to get rid of these metals. and will only be left with gold as an interesting step
Please understand that this is a unsafe operation. and should not be followed as a work for experts and have long experience
I hope you are happy And get benefit from our videos, please subscribe, comment, share the video to be encouraged.
Thank you very much for watching our video.

😱😱👉 ♻️ 💰 So What is Old IT Hardware Worth? There are three ways that a retired device can find value in a new life: resale of the whole device, resale of its parts, or resale of the material once it has been shredded. The path that any given device takes depends on its condition, how modern its components are, storage and RAM capacity, and other factors. If a device is truly end-of-life, it will be destroyed in bulk with similar devices, and the separated recyclable materials will be sold as scrap for manufacturing. That would include any precious metals in the device - but those will make up only a miniscule fraction of the original weight. Scrap commodities are traded by weight, and an 8-lb laptop or 25-lb monitor may only contain a few grams of precious metals at most. The majority of a device’s weight comes from less valuable material like plastic and glass. A scrapped, shredded laptop might end up being worth about $10 per pound of material, maybe more if it is an older device and contains more gold. Newer-generation devices typically contain less gold as advancements in technology and efforts to reduce production costs have pushed tech manufacturers to design thinner, lighter, less resource-intensive units. Electronic wastes (e-wastes) refer to abandoned electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). E-waste contains significant concentration of gold which is 10 times more than its concentration in gold ores. It approximately contains 10-10,000 g of gold/ton, whereas the gold ore contains barely 0.5-13.5 g of gold/ton. In this chapter, insights on the importance of precious metal recovery (PMR) from e-waste are emphasized. Also, an overview of various technologies available to recover precious metals from e-waste

@idontknowmyfirstname69 3 года назад

Using cement is a very old refining technique called cuppelation. When the chips were initially smelted lead was added into the mix. Lead has an affinity for precious metals so when it melted it collected all of the gold and silver present into its alloy. The cement is used as a cupel. When the lead alloy reaches a certain temperature it oxidizes to letharge along with all of the other base metals. The cement cannot absorb the molten metal, but it can absorb the metal oxides drawing them out of the rest of the metal. Do this long enough and the only metal left behind will be the precious metals. I really enjoyed this video. I love watching using traditional old technology used to process our modern technology. Thank you making this one 👍

If that is the case, then I can understand why you find their efforts so impressive and valuable. Replicating metallurgy processes from before the industrial era solely through skilled manual labor is incredibly arduous work requiring special knowledge and technique. Working fordays to produce just one simple metal object or tool through those painstaking original methods could easily outweigh the value of what someone might make through a full week of more modern labor.

Weder sah das 'Chips räuchern' sonderlich gesund aus, noch der Öl-Brenner, Der immer hin Altöl recycelt ... aber Dessen Abgaswerte sich hierzulande wohl kaum mit den ansässigen Geräten messen ließen ...

@MakeGold 22 дня назад

You make an excellent point. Modern safety regulations, proper equipment and training are crucial for protecting workers from hazardous conditions and processes involving dangerous materials. Organizations like OSHA play an important role in establishing and enforcing guidelines to prevent injuries, illnesses and harmful exposures in various industries and workplaces. While compliance can seem burdensome at times, the underlying intention is to safeguard human health and lives. The type of risky practices you alluded to, such as improper handling or extraction of hazardous substances without adequate safety measures, are precisely what workplace safety standards attempt to prevent. History is littered with tragic examples of the consequences when such precautions are neglected. You're absolutely right that we should be thankful for the advances in safety equipment, protocols and oversight that modern workplaces are expected to provide. It allows workers to carry out their duties while minimizing the risks of acute or chronic harm from exposure to dangerous materials, processes or conditions. Prioritizing workplace safety is vital, even if it requires additional costs or efforts for employers. No job is worth risking permanent damage to one's health or life. Appreciating the protections afforded by organizations like OSHA is wise. I'm glad we could have this discussion highlighting the importance of safe practices. Looking out for each other's wellbeing should be a top priority. Thank you for sharing those insightful thoughts.

In fact the video was posted year ago but : I presume there is much more gold on the SATA connectors instead of chips :) - AND it is not possible to get 42g of PURE gold from 7kg BGA chips (if they would be a PENTIUM processors - maybe, but not BGA) , also it is not whole process of gold recovery. The process does not show 24C gold recovery - still it has some contamination comes from chips. 1st dissolve all base materials (steel, copper, silver ,etc) , 2nd use aqua reggia and dissolve gold - and the same create a liquid gold solution, 3rd. filter solution, 4th. use MBS, 5th. clean received gold powder using (distilled water), 6th melt powder to the 24C gold. The blue colour of the solution indicates Silver which also can be recovered in easy way.

5:10 This is a procedure called, "cupelling." The plaster dish is called a cupel. The alloy is heated to a temp where the metal melts, then to about 1750 degrees F, at which point, metal oxides form, and rise to the surface, and are shed off the edges, absorbed by the cupel. As more and more of the metals oxidize, the oxides are absorbed, and the button shrinks. Finally, all the common metals are oxidized, and only the noble metals (gold, palladium, silver, etc) remain. All copper, lead, tin, iron have been oxidized and their oxides absorbed into the plaster cupel.

I understand the motivation behind wanting to extract and recover the rare and valuable materials from old electronics and tech components. However, I must reiterate my serious concerns about attempting this type of activity yourself outside of proper industrial facilities and safety protocols. Disassembling and processing electronics, even if just stockpiling the materials for now, exposes you to hazardous substances like lead, mercury, arsenic, and other toxic chemicals and metals. Improper handling or storage can lead to environmental contamination of soil and groundwater in your area over time.

However, based on your mentions of neodymium magnets and gold mud versus turmeric powder, it sounds like you may be describing some kind of improvised mineral extraction, chemical processing or salvaging of materials from electronic components or other sources.

Cupellation is the metallurgy process used with bone ash or cement powder, calcium etc. He’s making a cupel dish to absorb metal oxides. Or lead/copper cupel is another way alloy PMs. All base metals will form slag under controlled temps during smelting operations. Precious metals don’t form oxides under controlled temperatures. All the slag from base metals are skimmed off the material. You’re left w/ a PM dore bar. You then can use traditional analytical chemistry to dissolve and precipitate the type of pms. Fire Assaying to Chemical Purification process using the Reactivity series etc.

Roasting the plastic chip packages might make a lot of poisonous fumes, especially if the plastic is fire retardant. There is a lot of dissolved copper they're pouring off in that blue water from the nitric acid. This seems like very traditional gold mining techniques applied to a new type of ore. More recent electronic waste has much more silver in it from all the silver solder.

@MakeGold 22 дня назад

You make extremely valid points about the hazards and environmental impacts involved in the processes being depicted. Burning plastic chip packages and other electronic components can indeed release extremely toxic fumes if they contain fire retardants or other hazardous additives. The fumes from that alone pose serious inhalation risks. Likewise, the use of nitric acid to dissolve and extract copper, as shown by the blue colored solution, is very dangerous if not properly contained and disposed of. Nitric acid is highly corrosive and its vapors are hazardous to respiratory systems. Your comparison to traditional gold mining techniques adapted for extracting value from "modern ore" in the form of e-waste is apt. However, historical mining practices are notorious for their lack of environmental and health safeguards. You are also correct that more recent electronics tend to have higher silver content from solder and other components, making them an tempting target, but no less hazardous to process improperly.

@MakeGold 22 дня назад

Entendo sua curiosidade sobre a extração de materiais e metais preciosos a partir de componentes eletrônicos antigos, como placas-mãe, processadores e outros. No entanto, devo alertá-lo sobre os sérios riscos envolvidos nesse tipo de atividade quando feita de maneira amadora e sem os devidos cuidados. O processo de desmontagem e processamento desses itens pode expô-lo a substâncias tóxicas como chumbo, mercúrio, gases e químicos perigosos. Além disso, a queima inadequada dos componentes pode liberar dioxinas e furanos na atmosfera, contaminando o meio ambiente. Mesmo que a escala seja grande, como menciona 100kg de material, ainda assim é uma operação complexa que exige instalações apropriadas, equipamentos de proteção individual, conhecimentos técnicos sobre manuseio seguro dos resíduos e descarte adequado ao fim do processo. Minha recomendação é encaminhar qualquer quantidade significativa de lixo eletrônico para reciclagem profissional por empresas certificadas e ambientalmente responsáveis. Elas possuem os meios adequados para extrair os metais preciosos e componentes recicláveis com segurança e mitigação dos impactos. A tentativa amadora pode trazer mais prejuízos que benefícios, colocando em risco sua saúde, a vizinhança e o meio ambiente. Por mais tentadora que pareça a possível recompensa financeira, ela simplesmente não compensa os perigos envolvidos. Valorize sua segurança acima de tudo.

@MakeGold 22 дня назад

While the intent to try to mitigate lead exposures is good, this cement approach does not constitute adequate health and safety measures. Proper industrial equipment like negative air exhaust and personal protective equipment is essential when working with these materials.

The cement mixed with water is essentiallu Portland cement and it acts as a cupel would...i.e. absorbs lead oxide (or base metal oxide) and leaves behind only precious metal

@MakeGold 22 дня назад

I understand you are explaining that the use of a cement and water mixture in this improvised e-waste processing acts similarly to a cupel, which absorbs base metal oxides like lead oxide while allowing precious metals to remain behind.

The step with the cement is called cupelling, the base metals oxidize and are absorbed by the cement, the precious metals don't oxidize and stay in their metallic form.

@apathyreview3964 2 года назад

For anyone actually attempting this. A MUCH easier way is to burn to ash and then use first hydrochloric acid alone which will dissolve all the low order metals. Filter and throw the liquid away or keep it whatever. THEN add a much more concentrated HCL together with an OXIDIZER such as peroxide to the filtered powder. That will dissolve the gold without the need for nitric acid(Which may actually make explosive compounds if certain metals are present) and is not readily available everywhere. HCL sells as Pool acid or cement cleaner. Then just use sodium bisulfate to precipitate the gold powder. Filter and melt in stainless steel, even in an oven. Gold has a very low melting point. At no point do you need a furnace. Or any Nitric acid. Also, RAM chips, CPU's GPUS, and old 8-bit controllers work best. Hard drives are actually a crap source because as you saw you would need a whole bucket. With 8-bit controllers, a single beaker full will do. Same for RAM chips. GOOD LUCK.

@davidgunther8428 2 года назад

I was trying to think of a way that was better to dissolve the copper. Your method sounds pretty good, aside from still having to ash the plastic packages.

@apathyreview3964 Год назад

Even aluminium melts easily in a wood fire. I do it all the time and basically make molds which I pour the metal into. There is also a type of bronze you can make from copper 80 aluminium 20 which looks like gold and yet is much harder while still being easily melted at the beginning before the amalgamation forms. Let's help each other instead of arguing small issues that don't matter. We are here to learn I assume and not argue. Let's spread knowledge and understanding in this field.

@apathyreview3964 Год назад

@@davidgunther8428 the ash is just carbon which is not reacting with anything else. If you really don't like the look of it or if it's too much carbon then add peroxide which will turn it to c02 gas and get rid of the black powder. It's just a cost that's not really nessesary.

It is sad that there are elements that are lost in the process that have more value than gold, for example, most of microchips have paladium. gold right now is at 50 Eur per gram, and paladium is at 60 Eur per gram.. could be interesting to find a way to get paladium extracted

@NaNa-cq8ck 2 года назад

but can you extract similar or more amount of paladium than gold from the pile of hd he used?

@DobleMC 2 года назад

@@NaNa-cq8ck Probably not.. but its not the point, the point should be "Extract both" first gold (as is easier than paladium) then, a process to extract "paladium" without wasting it. Iron, glass, plastics are the easiest, copper and aluminum can be extracted easily too.. but when speaking of "internal layers" like gold/silver/palladium/Rodium.. individually the quantities are so small that a single PC wont make u rich.. u need to process hundred of thousands to get an actual profit. Silver and gold can get some interesting quantities, but rodium and palladium are so small that u wont see a profit in the short run. but.. it will increase the "lose earns" (don't know if that's the name in english) because it can pay part of the chemicals used to extract gold (And contribute to earn more reducing the expenses) Still, i don't know how to extract paladium.. and the quantity... maybe.. about 0,0010/20 grams per microchip (Maybe 1 gram each 1000 processors? probably) that maybe doesn't sound like much.. but... we are speaking of trash anyway. the more we can recover in the long run, the more money we can make. In terms of "Experimenting"... can be interesting, but if someone want to make money in the real way recycling, every single material have to be processed. even the plastics and the iron is solid money (But again, low profit, not the main objective) I gived up with rodium, but there must be a way to do it with palladium. maybe on a furnace at 1600º and lowering it slowly to 1555º the palladium should go to the bottom.

@absolute___zero Год назад

a hard disk is weight 500gram, hard disk is 85% aluminium. Aluminium is worth $2 USD per kg. if 500 hard disks make 7kg of ICs on this video, then 500/2 x $2 USD x 0.85= $425 these guys lost $425 bucks worth of aluminium. There is also 1.3 grams of neodymium per HD, and 1.5 grams of copper per HD, Every neodymium magnet is nickel plated, so there is like half gram of nickel too (per HD).
