  • In this video I will scrap and process a batch of gold plated watches. I will purify gold plating using Aqua Regia and iron sulfate to recover pure gold. Enjoy!

    Nice vid. Thank you 👍
    According to your yield, I would estimate my 1,165 kg of gold plated watches to get me around 22 grams of gold. 🤔
    I sure hope that’s the case 😅

      It was more or less a fair mixture with only one gold filled case marked also as plated (very strange mark), so 1.9% of total weight yield is fine. I’ve seen more and I’ve seen less. All depends on material :)

      Hi, in gold plated watches processing I did not find silver chloride to separate. In general, filtration helps.

      @@antoniokasabov9364 Здравей! Когато спре реакцията - отделянето на мехурчета или се е изразходвала азотната или се е разтворил метала от часовниковите каси. Изваждам ги, промивам и слагам отново в азотна. Ако реакцията рестартира бурно, значи има останал доста метал за разтваряне. Ако се появи съвсем слабо оцветяване, значи сме на финала.

    I have question: 1 step.. ONLY PUT WATCHES to Nitric Acid? and wait about 2hours? nothing next? (heating?, next Acid?). TY

    • @escrapchannel
      @escrapchannel  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Hi, reaction of the nitric acid with brass is exothermic, so heating is not needed. Starts slowly but then speeds up.
      After dissolving 95% of the brass in the cases reaction slows down a lot, so it is good to remove the acid that worked out and put the gold foils into fresh nitric acid to quickly dissolve any remains of brass. No other acids needed.

    How gold recovery in one kg gold plated watch case or pins

    • @escrapchannel
      @escrapchannel  Před 11 měsíci

      Hi, it really depends a lot. My yield of gold per kg material is between 30g and 0.2g. 30g I got from military USSR pins, and 0.2g from modern main board pins.

    Hello , How much time the disolving this watches in HCI+H2O2 solution ?
    And if i use this method how much will be the concentration of the Hidrogen peroxid 3% or 6%?
    thanks your answer.

    • @escrapchannel
      @escrapchannel  Před rokem +2

      Hi, I never tried dissolving solid brass cases in hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide, but if I try this I will pick 30% peroxide and periodically add it to the solution to keep reaction going. With 3 and 6 % peroxide the issue is that volumes become huge at certain point.

    • @escrapchannel
      @escrapchannel  Před rokem +2

      My point is that in case of silver contacts cleaning from copper we deal with small amount of copper to dissolve. Watch cases are tens and hundreds of grams. For watch cases I always use nitric acid.
