Gold Recovery from 1kg DDR Rams .How much Gold in Rams ?

I had always thought only the gold fingers contain gold, good to know RAM chips also have it. Out of the 0.84 g gold you got, any idea of how much is from gold fingers and IC chips respectively?

How did you convince that SMB to drop just the gold selectively without the silver copper tin lead and other various assorted base metals presents in that solution? I'm asking because that's a very neat trick I wish I knew how to do but I've never come close to doing it myself and I'm wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong or if you just so damn good at it everything behaves better for you

Crazy how some counties allow you to wash toxic waste down the sink...at least you made 40 bucks out of it.....

Hello Iman. Great clip. Thank you 🌹 Arne 🇳🇴

Nice work brother! thanks for sharing.👍😊

Cut the fingers off the ram and use HCl (copper 2 chloride) to remove gold foils. That gold will be almost 24k. Adding the sticks with lead, tin, copper, etc into aqua regia is not only a waste of acid, but makes the recovery less pure and increases waste solution. After recovering the foils from copper 2 chloride, THEN refine in aqua regia or bleach/hcl

Was anyone else expecting one of them huge gold bars at the end you see in the movies 🤣 That seemed like a huge process for a tiny speck of gold 😒 Thanks for the upload though, interesting

People, chemists do recommend using protective gear for a reason, the fumes and the liquids involved in processes like this are not safe to play around in your usual kitchen and bathroom. Also use a calculator, butane torches, special glass containers and chemicals are much more expensive than what you'll obtain by selling the final extraction.

I keep watching these. I have lots of computer parts, just saving for now till gold prices climb. Think I'll leave the melting to people smarter than me and just sell the parts someday. Fun to watch though, thanks.

He spent a ton of expensive chemicals, a lot of time and got a drop of gold.😐

It's awesome that someone did this whole process and recorded it for the world. Even if it's a crazy amount of work and not worth it, it's cool that people can know that now! +1

It looks as like you're making crepes on that griddle😂 How many ram cards are there, like 100 cards? Wouldn't you make a lot more money if you sold all those whole rams?

This seems like a lot to do about nothing. The chemicals probably cost as much as the finished product 😔

I’m pretty sure you used 2-4x more cost in the chemicals than you got back in gold. If you trim the gold fingers, you could use 1/10th of the chemicals. And I’d separate the gold foils first by sitting them in sulfuric acid first, then you’d only need a few drops of nitric to dissolve that. Never premeasure Aqua Regia. Cover in HCL then add a few ml of Nitric at a time until gold is dissolved, then you don’t even need urea since you only used enough nitric to do the job. Nitric is expensive, lowering the amount of that you use is the only way to maximize your cost of recovery.

It's impossible to tell because it's fast-forwarded which we appreciate but out of curiosity about how long did it take you to depopulate all these RAM sticks of their chips with the hot plate?

Quite straight forward. Less than 1 g per Kg is a typical yield from what I have observed. Many claim much more (up to 3g) but that seems to be the exception.0.8g is realistic, but there may have been quite some Pd as well which you lost in that procedure. That is why I would recover Ag and Pd first using HNO3 and then proceed to AR and dissolve the gold. I love that blender machine!

Здравствуйте Какая мощность гриндера? Пробовали молоть без обжарки? Заранее пасибо за ответ.

بسیار مفید و کاربردی ، مرسی استاد ❤

Hello; I would like to ask you how to melt the valuable metal on the motor plate and what items to use! Thank you
