You spoke like a capitalist pig - the usual hedonist. What about from what you may find in Death? Is it life worth living -whatever one can make and twist out this word [worth] to delude him/herself of the benefits of this Illusion= superior to a death well served, for a cause? You're blind like a bat and ignorant like an western demon, if you can't see and respectively accept that the world has degenerated so bad that they, the demon.cracy parasites, had to come up with all kind of synthetic drives for the individual to quench the senses of this suit, which is trapping the soul in its attempt to ascend to Samsara.
And in most parts of the ‘developed’ world people are lazing on their couches getting fat, sick redundant and old whilst watching RU-vid videos of people working . I know where I’d rather be.
Feed their familys, for the price of killing the eco system. We use just a small amount of lead. Really, just a little. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IV3dnLzthDA.html Yes, lead makes you stupid!
Maybe in the hobbyist market, but both not knowing the origins and the very low tolerance for a good, reliable and properly matched connection would outweigh the money savings...
I'm fairly certain that was a lead bar (Pb) that was inquarted with the molten metal on top of the fire. Scrape the top to remove lighter metals while gold and lead sink to the bottom. I'd suspect that everyone in that facility will suffer from severe neurologic illnesses later in life.
Yep, lead. Lead dissolves precious metals. Process is called "cupelling", the most ancient technology of extracting gold, silver...but at least they have some kind of extraction of fumes (welcome to neighborhood) and not using mercury as still in use in some African countries...
You may have noticed that the circuits that were removed at the beginning of the video were not melted. They are sold to a buyer in the same condition.
Eles trabalham em situações precárias e sem nenhum equipamento de segurança. Parabéns, pela bravura e dedicação para a retirada do ouro em sucatas eletrônicas.
You will usually find these will be dated chips and not worth much anymore, they hqve no doubt became obsolete , this is why they are salvaging whatever they can from them and reuse the gold again someday.
from what I reckon, nitric acid boil have to be done under a fume hood, I'm guessing this is a fumehood I see over the fire so that part is A1. Crazy I see the same sacrifice these young man are making it's the same then our ancestor breathing toxic shit all day and doing their work with such a precision. Where I live this work doesn't exist and you'd have to pay someone way too much money they wouldn't do it. I have tremendous respect for these guys on the video, have a good day people !
Руки у них самые простые, из мяса и костей. А вот карманы пакистанских капиталистов золотые действительно. На видео рабочие, а не хозяин этой фабрики. Рабочие получают ничтожную часть этого золота.
Thanks so much I learned so much a lot of people probably don't know how hard and how much time it actually takes extracting the gold from computer boards
Amazing, kudos to these guys for putting in so much work to extract a little bit of gold at the end of the process. Some of this I couldn't really tell exactly what was going on, but still, very impressive. Think of all the vast piles of old e-waste languishing in landfills, and yet for some, that would be a fortune waiting to be mined.
Plus it's terrible on the environment. People think the USA is bad with pollution, I'll bet ya half of the greenhouse gases come from all over indonesia, korea, Pakistan , in little garages all over that "recycle" e-waste and dump all the other chemicals into the river and land.
And yet all these guys will die a young age due to all the noxious fumes and that's not even talking about being seriously injured and mamed in the process! The gold value they extracted may be worth it to them in this third world country but in reality it's sad because all that risk and lower life expectancy for a miniscule amount of gold
@@oregonhighroller5178 you mean good Jon for these guys getting poisoned from lead and other metals. No PPE anywhere and they're burning solder like it's nothing even though it contains lead. Don't forget about platinum group metals. This is what you never want to do EVER
Don't get me wrong, friend, but it's also true that this scrap comes from countries like yours that companies throw away. Even its capacitors and chips are exported to China.
If im not wrong thats lead bar that absobed precios metals, oxidated till only mix of copper, gold and platinum remains. Plumes of lead oxide smoke and all that grey dust is the same. This was method used in ancient times, wery deadly.
I do the same in my underwear and slippers but I feed all my e scrap in to a hammer mill and separate via mill table way less work and I'm getting a yeild far better than these poor saps
Bom dia! Pra mim é uma honra viu prestigiar seu trabalho, vamos sempre juntos somar e fortalecer nossos objetivos, Conto com você, eu já estou por aqui
I work in an automotive plant and I once joked about finding some steel toe Crocs for a coworker lol.. but no luck searched all over internet but couldn't find any :(
I didn't think there was a thing as white gold, I thought it was gold that has been chemically treated in rhodium but only on the outside layer. It also burns off so idk about the white stuff. But obviously it's worth something to them.
I'd say they refined the Rhodium from catalytic converters, or from all the e waste with a different process on the leftovers from the nitric acid dore dissolving. But yes there's no such thing as white gold. It's just Rhodium plated gold, but Rhodium is the world's most expensive metal so it's worth getting. It's nearly $20000 AUD for one ounce of Rhodium right now and about $2750 AUD per ounce of gold. So the Rhodium is the real pay dirt in the end
CRUDE and yet EFFICIENT! The overhead of non gas burning method is what they (these individuals) have so thats what they use! They're not sitting on They're asses asking for handouts! Proud for you guy's!
They are inhaling toxic fumes for a small amount of money and polluting the planet. That is not pride you are feeling. It's stupidly for thinking that toxicity is a good thing when in reality it killing them and those close to their operation. It would be better if they did nothing.
If only someone could invent a table type thing, for which you could work at a comfortable height, I have a rough idea, I'm going to call it a workbench....
When a good wage is like $250US a month, this is a good living. Granted, most workers will die within 15 years, but the money will pay for their kids' school so they can work better jobs.
@@MikeStavola umm. Yeah. The steel is worth $200/ton. Brass #2 / pound. And they only show about half the gold actually recovered. There a pounds and pounds of different metals being scrapped here. It's still a small amount of gold. But with all the scrap metal and what you don't see these guys are making thousands a day.
So is this something like cupeling or is that just a Crucible in the ground? I probably spelled that wrong but if you know what I'm talking about that should be close enough to get you there
Pakistani are great engineers and technicians this is my conclusion from all this kinds of videos , if they were able to engineer big machinery to do the work Pakistan would be like south corea or something similar just like almost every country on earth really 🌎
@@syedabsar6705 Oops, that means war when you mix the two together. I almost got my head cut off for saying the same thing. They just need to put their pride aside sometimes. I'm Portuguese and you call me Hispanic, it's no big deal. But for them it is. That was funny tho.
If I asked you why you work on benches and why you don't sit down and work, what would you answer? Every man finds ease for himself, these people are more comfortable sitting down and working and you guys are working on benches. So what's wrong with that?
Scrapping here in the US aint easy either :) I worked all damn day in the cold and rain for $300 we are the bottom feeders, they next step up from us are the scrap yards and middle men that make 10X that out our stuff ..... but they also have the $400K machines that can do it too
@@Grandassets what is the biggest cost input in scrapping business ?? I am assuming power if it is so I can help you guys build a solar Furness since you guys are saving environment I'll give the design free of cost.

From the perspective of an amateur in metallurgy: I see them melting lead onto the gold plated parts to make a lead- gold alloy which then gets cupelled to a base material. The alloy is then refined by getting rid of the lead using aqua regia, or fuming Nitric and Hydrochloric acid. This is boiled off then burned to leave gold powder. I am happy to see a fume hood at least. May these hardworking men stay safe in their work. -As Salaam Alaykum. EDIT: See Dark Breed's explanation below for a more correct and detailed explanation of the video.
not exactly the lead is used to reduce the meltingtemperature of the alloy and gets cupelled to the ground material in the process, the lump they get is at least leadfree and they recover the lead from the chalk ground they use as a big cupell. the metals they desolve in nitric acid is nickel, copper, silver and tin. what is not shown in this video they use a big amount of borax (the glasslike stuff they remove from the alloy).
@@darkbreed Thank you for the details, I respect your knowledge of metallurgy in general, you seem very well- versed. I will refer people to your comment on the details of the process. The role of the borax is interesting, as I presume that the borax forms a glassy slag that contains impurities, I'm not sure though. All the best
@@justinwaters8679 The term impurities comes from the forging trade and describes oxides, which mechanically disturb the forging process and therefore have to be removed. In the melting process, borax is referred to as a flux.
@@darkbreed Damn, respect for knowing the terms and even the etymology of metallurgical terms, Thank you for the info, I now know about cupelling and the origin of oxides as impurities. All the best Dark Breed.
You got some stuff wrong. They are using copper not lead and they didnt use any nitric acid. They disolved the copper with sulphuric acid and there was no nitric or it would have disolved the gold as well.
White gold is usually the alloy of gold with nickel or silver of some other white metal, what kind of white gold you get after this process? Or by the term "white gold" you consider some other precious metal? Please let us know..
I am a RU-vidr, but the person who owns this work told me that this is Palladium which is also called White Gold in Pakistan۔ If you have any other questions please ask I will try to clear this again by meeting this person۔
They are lucky cause this is communication equipment that has loads of gold in it . Simple motherboards and processors have too little compared to this.
Usa ácido nítrico ou sulfúrico para separar o ouro dos outros metais e eles não tem o mínimo de segurança, poderia usar ao menos um filtro de papel para separar o ouro do ácido e uma máscara durante o processo.

With this process, 50% of the precious metals are lost and 70% of the gold. The station with aqua regia or 3 muriatic acid 1 nitric acid is more efficient and less dangerous. The liquid is passed through a funnel skimmer and then precipitated with urea or metabisilphite the unwanted metals remain in solution the intention of the gold is over 98% recovery . Second precipitate of the 1X1 distilled water solution and the solution and add sodium chloride diluted in distilled water at a 1X1 ratio and add to the solution the precipitate will be immediate Silver nitrate the rest of the solution will still contain another precious metal that is 50% more expensive than gold. This recovery is carried out with a palladium seed and is recovered by the massive galvanizing process and its eighth voltage since the rest of the semi-precious metals are also recovered with this electrical process.If you don't get 10g of gold from 1kg of CPU pins, you're throwing it away.
