In this video, I demonstrate the industrial gold recovery process from 10.5kg of electronic scrap. Using a lead bath and acid parting, I achieved a 99.69% pure gold button weighing 67.61 grams.
Key Moments:
00:00 - Introduction & 10.5kg Scrap Breakdown
00:43 - The Lead Bath
02:21 - Scooping the Spent Casings
04:58 - Inquartation (Adding Silver)
07:04 - Scorification
09:32 - Using Forced Air for Lead Oxidation
12:30 - Final Cupellation
14:47 - The Flash
15:11 - Nitric Acid Parting
16:35 - Hydrochloric Acid Purification
17:45 - The Final Melt & Borax Glass
18:30 - 67g Pure Gold Result & Weigh-In
If you found this technical breakdown useful, I'd appreciate it if you'd like, comment, and subscribe. It really helps the channel.
And remember—to me, you're worth more than gold.
