Great video. I recently found a perfect way to achieve a smooth finish on my bars when I pour in my metal. You need first to make metal shots and after place those shots inside the mold and melt them again. This way, you end up with smooth surfaces.
@@chrissinger101 He does get his silver back. Sreetips adding silver to his gold is a method called inquartation. Sreetips adds enough silver to his gold to get around 6-7 karat gold pieces. Then he puts nitric acid on to it until all silver and base metals are taken out of the gold thanks to the nitric acid. All the silver, copper, and the other base metals are in liquid form in the blue/green liquid you see in his videos. There's other videos he's posted showing him taking the silver out of the liquid form and refining it as well. Sreetips explains the whole refining process much better than I did, just watch the videos and you learn over time how it works, as I did.
Well he said at the end he borrowed the money to get the materials and stuff to do this, so selling the bar at the end was necessary to pay back those debts. So you just need a large fortune, OR a large pile of debt. It's nice to have options.
I'm pausing the video at not-quite two-minutes in, and wow am I intrigued!! I once saw a step-by-step article breaking down this process that I since haven't been able to find again. You are doing a much larger scale version of what I learned about but didn't internalize as personal knowledge of my own. Maybe now, after studying this, I can get this stuff down and scrap a large broken flat-screen tv I have in my shed.
WOW!.. that was some meal of a video, I can hardly digest everything,, "however" the way you explained it left me intrigued. I have the highest respect in great interest and what you do. I never thought that you can change solid gold into liquid Gold, dried it out into a sandy gold dirt color, and then burn it back to solid Gold.. absolutely amazing!
Thought you might be interested watching this video on 5/11/20 that the bar of gold you had is now worth 32,927.62 I thought you might find that interesting :)))
@@ojotabe3 currency is a product, that's precisely how it works, it has supply and demand like everything else, now go see what's happening, they are increasing the supply of dollar like crazy. I don't think the supply of gold changed that much, the demand is going even higher, but not higher than the supply of dollar, there's an excess of dollar, and a lack of gold, yes, the gold is valued more, but the dollar is value way, way less now, I just converted 30% of liquidity to gold to survive the oncoming crash. And if I'm wrong so what, gold will always be gold.

Hey Sree, long time viewer here. Really glad to see how much more efficient you've become with some excellent lab additions for your refining process. I've never refined any metal and really don't have any intention to, but watching your videos has always been a blast.

its so fun to watch you do this chemical prossess. Its a trip how different the gold looked in the white dish before it is melted. that dish was really heavy it bet. right on man great video

Absolutely awesome video. I’m new to the gold refining aspects, I recently acquired some scrap gold and was curious on how you do the math on gold to silver ratio of how much to mix. Can you do a separate video on how to figure everything out with different karat golds?

My favorite part of this whole amazing process: the lawnmower sitting on the floor nearby. Is it not advisable to use a teflon coated tray for warm-drying the gold dust? I mean, for easier removal from there and into the melt dish ...
As far as the acids go, granted they are at room temp, any splashing can be rinsed off and little to no damage will happen. Possibly some yellowing from nitric, and some blackinging with silver nitrate. Hot acid is different and I've never seen him pouring hot acid in his direction.
For the molten metal, he absolutely never pours it in his direction. And it's not like it would pour in any crazy direction, he's got gravity on his side
I'm 30 minutes in and was skimming the comments because I thought I heard heavy breathing from Cody's lab. I didn't check how long the video was and was surprised you saying it was a 48 minute video. :D
For anyone curious, although inquarting is usually done with silver to lower the gold percentage to 25% or lower, you can actually go the other direction and raise the gold percentage to 75% or higher. Inquarting will work for both scenarios as long as the concentration of gold is between 0-25% or 75-100%. The only difference is with the 75%or higher method, you use aqua Regia directly. It will still form silver chloride, but the silver is so dilute in the 75%+ alloy that it does not passivate or block gold atoms from being dissolved. You end up with silver chloride in chloroauric acid solution rather than gold metal in silver nitrate that you get in the more classic 25% or less method.
Just a question, I understand using the process for the lower purity gold pieces. But why do it for the puck of gold that was already 24 karat? Any reason for this?
I remember reading about this years ago when I thought about removing silver and gold from computer parts as I had a great source of computer parts. after you precipitate the silver from the nitric acid, you get silver cholride? Can you turn that to a metal by evaporating the nitric acid? Also is the silver acting as flux per say when you smelt the gold and silver mix? Does the silver bind to other dissimilar metals>
This is a really challenging and perilous work. It's clear for me now why gold is one of the most appreciated materials in the world and how it has a high cost even in natural resources like water and energy to be refined.
This guy has NEVER sold gold to a refinery. An honest post would the results of the refinery's melt assay. Or at least mention the $200-$300 cost od said assay
Pretty damn cool seeing the pure gold drop into the water.. I wonder if you stirred the pit of water fast before pouring the gold into it so that maybe the pieces are smaller. Wouldnt it allow you to use less acid and what not to dissolve?
Quite literally, liquid gold. Interesting. Never figured that precious metals would be taken to this level of processing. But there you go, learned something new today.
What a nice chunky bar. It's very interesting to compare this older video to your newer refinements and see how your process (and workspace) has improved over the years; though I suspect that is the same scale.
Amazing Job!! My heart stopped when you were spooning the gold cake into the dish, I thought for sure the spoon was going catch a soft spot and flick gold cake everywhere.... Excellent video, thanks for posting. Liked and subbed. Look forward to your future posts.
I'm not feeling so bad now having to pay for the final finish in a gold bar or a coin either. So much work, I almost fell asleep watching... thanks foe the demo
I have a very important question whether the color of the aqua rigia if it turns reddish yellow as in the video indicates the presence of gold in the solution? Because I tried a lot to do the deposition but without ice and failed Thank you
I heat my crucible on top of my furnace and do a quick pours it's best to move quick from when you turn the furnace off to the pour I practiced alot with lead aluminum once you get it down you can make perfect bars also I use graphite molds as well other then that yea pretty much it to scrapping gold
I wonder how they get the gold bars so smooth and polished looking at other places, do you think they pass them through a planer or something and just melt the shavings down into other bars?
That was totally amazing I won't be rushing out to procure the equipment to try this at home but it was sure worth the view to say the least this video is Platinum no pun intended because we know it's gold dyammmm well done !
37:57 "now were gonna move over here to the melt table." As the camera pans over two gasoline cans, a propane tank, and a slew of chemicals and aerosols in the near background.
hey, great channel, i've been watching these in the background while working and your commentary is very soothing. i have a dumb question, what would happen if you dropped that flask of liquid gold, would it be lost or could you salvage it?
Sorry for the stupid question but do you file or like… grind the gold bar to make it look perfect. Like to have nice edges and smooth surfaces? And obviously use the shavings for other refinings? I know you send to a refiner but I’m just asking do you ever try to make a perfect bar or is that something you haven’t done yet? If not, you should do a video of making a perfect, branded sreetips gold bar
I’ve never tried to grind or polish any gold or silver bar. They look fantastic right out of the mold. And will look exactly the same days, months, or years later. Unlike base metals that will begin to oxidize immediately, gold will keep its newly acquired shine forever. That’s a unique property of gold.
Dear Sreetips, I was able to boil 43g in Aqua Regia but I poured off the golden yellow too soon. I did not wait until the red fuming was completely gone, so I have too much Nitric in 1 cup of beautiful yellow gold filled solution. How can I neutralize the Nitric? In a small 20ml test adding the MSB did not drop the gold out of solution. I love your videos and have spent 100s of hours watching them to learn. Thank you.
If you have excess nitric then you can get rid of it by evaporating the solution down to a syrup. Then rehydrate with hydrochloric acid. I’ve done it many times. Or, put the solution in a very large beaker (to avoid a boil over) and add ice (tap water ice ok). The just keep adding small amounts of SMB until all the nitric gets consumed. Add more ice as needed. Use a BIG beaker. If you have 43g in 500ml if solution then use at least a 2 liter beaker. Four liter would be better. Keep adding SMB until no more fines evolve and the gold stays precipitated. I’ve used both methods to completely eliminate excess nitric.
AWESOME... I USE TO DISSOLVE MY SMALL PIESES OF GOLD IN AQUA REGIA TO MAKE MY GOLD PLATING SOLUTION A FEW YEARS BACK, REALLY ENJOYED YOUR FULL VIDEO" YOUR CERTAINLY A GREAT REFINER... AWESOME WORK..
Probably not , as gold and silver is only profitable as an investment and if the price of gold increases it's hard to sell it at the exact value if that makes sense ?

And later on the pure gold looked like a giant pile of diarrhea, then cocoa powder. Finally it started to actually look like gold when he melted the powder.
Great video. I loved your voice-over for "those not familiar with the refining process" at 8:20. From the moment you said that word "encourting" (probably spelled wrong), I was so confused what that meant and why you were mixing silver with the gold. I was confused as to why you weren't just melting and mixing all the gold together in one bar and all thr silver in one bar. But I'm not familiar with the process. Your video is great.
The problem is this: No one acid will attack gold. You must mix hydrochloric & nitric acid to get gold in solution. Nitric acid alone will attack silver. But there is a problem: silver chloride is EXTREMELY insoluble. If you try to dissolve gold (with a SOME silver in it), the hydrochloric acid will react with silver nitrate to coat the metal with (insoluble) silver chloride, "clogging up" the dissolving process. If you mix in A LOT of silver with the gold (as in 3 parts silver to 1 part gold), then nitric acid ALONE will dissolve out the silver (just as it would for pure silver) because there is not enough gold present to "protect" the silver. The nitric acid "eats" thorugh the silver-gold matrix, dissolving the silver & leaving gold sponge behind. The term "inquart" literally means "one fourth" (the recipe proportions). This is the minimum amount of silver required for the nitric acid to be able to "eat" through the matrix.
Do you ever just refine or melt silver so it's ready for inquarting? I'd have thought that would save some time when you're refining gold as a pile of silver beads would make alloying it easier and cleaner than scrap jewellery.
Now I realize my high school Chemistry classes were missing some important chapters.

This is a really challenging and perilous work. It's clear for me now why gold is one of the most appreciated materials in the world and how it has a high cost even in natural resources like water and energy to be refined.

Lol all that and at the very end “now I ship it off to the refinery”.
LOL. What happened to trust these days...
Good point. What the hell.
This guy has NEVER sold gold to a refinery. An honest post would the results of the refinery's melt assay. Or at least mention the $200-$300 cost od said assay
Keith Shaughnessy : that’s what he says at the end of the video… off to the refinery
That bar is worth about $33,642.00 today
Pretty damn cool seeing the pure gold drop into the water.. I wonder if you stirred the pit of water fast before pouring the gold into it so that maybe the pieces are smaller. Wouldnt it allow you to use less acid and what not to dissolve?
Man....I have never seen a person with a skill-set as valuable as yours...this is amazing.. Something tells me you have a seriously nice safe..
Best refining video I've seen yet. Thanks for sharing!!
Quite literally, liquid gold. Interesting. Never figured that precious metals would be taken to this level of processing. But there you go, learned something new today.
Awesome videos, thanks again for uploads!!
What a nice chunky bar. It's very interesting to compare this older video to your newer refinements and see how your process (and workspace) has improved over the years; though I suspect that is the same scale.
Amazing Job!! My heart stopped when you were spooning the gold cake into the dish, I thought for sure the spoon was going catch a soft spot and flick gold cake everywhere.... Excellent video, thanks for posting. Liked and subbed. Look forward to your future posts.
It was nerve wracking.
By far one of the best videos on this subject I have ever seen. Liked and Subbed
J& K agreed.
@@HodgepodgewithAngela Same
I'm not feeling so bad now having to pay for the final finish in a gold bar or a coin either. So much work, I almost fell asleep watching... thanks foe the demo
Wow ~ I love that brick of gold, would love to have that! Great job!
I have a very important question whether the color of the aqua rigia if it turns reddish yellow as in the video indicates the presence of gold in the solution?
Because I tried a lot to do the deposition but without ice and failed
Thank you
Cool to see the actual process and the effect of the chemicals. The crater face puck looks quite good compared to the bar.
I heat my crucible on top of my furnace and do a quick pours it's best to move quick from when you turn the furnace off to the pour I practiced alot with lead aluminum once you get it down you can make perfect bars also I use graphite molds as well other then that yea pretty much it to scrapping gold
I wonder how they get the gold bars so smooth and polished looking at other places, do you think they pass them through a planer or something and just melt the shavings down into other bars?
I don’t know
I love how gold even sounds beautiful.
Imagine having 30k of gold dissolved in liquid in an open container and just picking it up and moving it... terrifying
that solution was worth over $6 (close to 7) per milliliter... dayum.
If I spilt that I'd probably break up the foundation getting all the gold back
Now imagine that was 30k that you borrowed and have to pay back....... even if you spilled it all
@@CwazyWabbits *spilt.
Turn on spell correct bro
@@Freekniggers spilled and spilt are interchangeable and both correct.
Where do you get all your metals from and how much of a percentage of profit do you get after sales? Hope I'm not asking to much lol ...thank you!
That was totally amazing I won't be rushing out to procure the equipment to try this at home but it was sure worth the view to say the least this video is Platinum no pun intended because we know it's gold dyammmm well done !
so does he get his silver back why does he need to put silver to get pure gold!
@@chrissinger101 I wondered that very same thing lol 😆 🤣 😂 😄
37:57 "now were gonna move over here to the melt table." As the camera pans over two gasoline cans, a propane tank, and a slew of chemicals and aerosols in the near background.
Lmao I thought he was in some nice lab or shop or something lol. But nope in is garbage with a lawnmower lol
Proof he know how to handle the process, he did not blow anything up.
@@tlbx57 You never are 100% in control, shit happens. Whatever can happen will happen.
Murphy's law.
yeah....about that...
Hey, at least he’s being constructive and not being some shitbag meth cooker! Process on, I love this shit!
Wow great video.
All that chemistry !
Thank you for the excellent tutorial !
BTW how did you recover the silver from that blue solution ?
hey, great channel, i've been watching these in the background while working and your commentary is very soothing. i have a dumb question, what would happen if you dropped that flask of liquid gold, would it be lost or could you salvage it?
It would be difficult to get the gold back
This video blew me away, I wish I had the skill set to do this,looks like a fun hobby to get into Bravo !!!!!!!! :)
It all comes together so beautifully! Just found your channel. Thinking about how and why we learn this stuff. My mind🤯😤💨life
How inspiring: Even pure refined gold looks like shit before it goes through the fire.
When I read your comment I thought it can't look that bad... It looked worse
😂
i was laughing when he show for the first time the pure gold, someone without context would thought probably is shit
Former Things that’s me, I’m pure refined gold
Sorry for the stupid question but do you file or like… grind the gold bar to make it look perfect. Like to have nice edges and smooth surfaces? And obviously use the shavings for other refinings? I know you send to a refiner but I’m just asking do you ever try to make a perfect bar or is that something you haven’t done yet? If not, you should do a video of making a perfect, branded sreetips gold bar
I’ve never tried to grind or polish any gold or silver bar. They look fantastic right out of the mold. And will look exactly the same days, months, or years later. Unlike base metals that will begin to oxidize immediately, gold will keep its newly acquired shine forever. That’s a unique property of gold.
What do you do with your stock pot, how do you treat the excess chemicals, and how do you dispose of it when finished?
I get the precious metals then process the waste for disposal.
I am so glad l discovered your channel! You are a freaking mad scientist and a joy to watch at work!
I bet your neighbors love that flume exhaust. Great results
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I loved it.
Question? Could you melt it after nitric treatment and achieve a 999 result or close to it? (instead of aquaregia)?
Yes
this kept showing up in my recommendations, i decided to give it a shot and i'm not disappointed
If you want to hide your gold...just make it look like dried-up clay.
PỺO's MƎᴻTɐʟ MƎʟTdowɴs The next time I see a tub of sand looking stuff in somebody’s house I gonna think twice
If gold can look like that mud.... how much could they be losing when mining gold or panning for it?
Dear Sreetips, I was able to boil 43g in Aqua Regia but I poured off the golden yellow too soon. I did not wait until the red fuming was completely gone, so I have too much Nitric in 1 cup of beautiful yellow gold filled solution. How can I neutralize the Nitric? In a small 20ml test adding the MSB did not drop the gold out of solution. I love your videos and have spent 100s of hours watching them to learn. Thank you.
If you have excess nitric then you can get rid of it by evaporating the solution down to a syrup. Then rehydrate with hydrochloric acid. I’ve done it many times. Or, put the solution in a very large beaker (to avoid a boil over) and add ice (tap water ice ok). The just keep adding small amounts of SMB until all the nitric gets consumed. Add more ice as needed. Use a BIG beaker. If you have 43g in 500ml if solution then use at least a 2 liter beaker. Four liter would be better. Keep adding SMB until no more fines evolve and the gold stays precipitated. I’ve used both methods to completely eliminate excess nitric.
Imagine dropping that flask of dissolved gold 😭😭😭😭 I'd be so upset.
you'd burn the carpet and recover the gold from the ashes. If not carpet than whatever it was spilled on. Good luck if it was concrete though.
@Paradoxical Nightmare too bad that didn't know it kills you
I think I experienced gold fever when you were picking up handfuls of gold in the water pot!
Cool video! Curious, where does all the acid go? Vaporized? Reusable?
Waste treatment
AWESOME... I USE TO DISSOLVE MY SMALL PIESES OF GOLD IN AQUA REGIA TO MAKE MY GOLD PLATING SOLUTION A FEW YEARS BACK, REALLY ENJOYED YOUR FULL VIDEO" YOUR CERTAINLY A GREAT REFINER... AWESOME WORK..
"I'm going to add this to my stock pot" gonna be some hella good soup
That's what I kept thinking hah
Ya where’s this pot and where are all those missing kids? Also, lawnmower.
The real question after paying back all the loan sharks and chemical and propane costs did you actually make any money for yourself?
Probably not , as gold and silver is only profitable as an investment and if the price of gold increases it's hard to sell it at the exact value if that makes sense ?
@@keiran5170 I got ya, it would need to be a short for him to even cover let alone gain money. Most jewelry is over priced at the very minimum it needs to be product cost, then labor shipping marketing etc.
He buys jewelry for way less than the gold value
Awesome vid,great commentary and videography, I always wondered how they get all impurities out to make pure gold,me thinking they melt it and separate it somehow. I really enjoyed watching and listening to this process. And didn,t that pure gold bar look amazing at the end. Thankyou very much for sharing your knowledge and for posting this video. Best wishes to you, from, Auckland, New Zealand 👑🥉🥈🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅⭐👍✅💯%❤🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
That's fascinating!! How do you recover the silver, or is that a loss?
One minute he’s got shitloads of gold and silver, then he’s got
jars of shitty water. No wonder I’m going to see this vid through!
And later on the pure gold looked like a giant pile of diarrhea, then cocoa powder. Finally it started to actually look like gold when he melted the powder.
Reverse alchemy lol
Sitting here watching the most random vvideo I've ever seen...completely hooked...
thanks I always find your work very interesting
This easy to follow/watch video is AWSOME....
Cool, but I was looking forward to seeing you recover the silver too.
I'll briefly show how that's done in my new video coming out as soon as I get the time to get it finished.
sreetips - I would love to see this and how it’s value compared to recovery costs
@@theRhinsRanger it's a hobby not a paycheck.
This was very cool to watch. Thanks for uploading :)
Great video. I loved your voice-over for "those not familiar with the refining process" at 8:20. From the moment you said that word "encourting" (probably spelled wrong), I was so confused what that meant and why you were mixing silver with the gold. I was confused as to why you weren't just melting and mixing all the gold together in one bar and all thr silver in one bar. But I'm not familiar with the process. Your video is great.
The problem is this: No one acid will attack gold. You must mix hydrochloric & nitric acid to get gold in solution. Nitric acid alone will attack silver. But there is a problem: silver chloride is EXTREMELY insoluble. If you try to dissolve gold (with a SOME silver in it), the hydrochloric acid will react with silver nitrate to coat the metal with (insoluble) silver chloride, "clogging up" the dissolving process. If you mix in A LOT of silver with the gold (as in 3 parts silver to 1 part gold), then nitric acid ALONE will dissolve out the silver (just as it would for pure silver) because there is not enough gold present to "protect" the silver. The nitric acid "eats" thorugh the silver-gold matrix, dissolving the silver & leaving gold sponge behind. The term "inquart" literally means "one fourth" (the recipe proportions). This is the minimum amount of silver required for the nitric acid to be able to "eat" through the matrix.
Nice explanation. For those who are not familiar, this technique can be very dumbfounding.
Do you ever just refine or melt silver so it's ready for inquarting?
I'd have thought that would save some time when you're refining gold as a pile of silver beads would make alloying it easier and cleaner than scrap jewellery.
I refine silver. The first step is to dissolve the sterling in nitric. So I use sterling to inquart. It’s like refining both metals at the same time.
