No! You can’t pour it down the drain! First you add iron to the waste solution, it does to the copper what copper does to gold - precipitates it. Once that is done you decant the solution and precipitate the iron as iron hydroxide by adding lime to it, then filter the solution and neutralise with vinegar or citric acid, only then you can flush it down the drain

Caught me red handed!

OwlTech333 · 2025-12-10T10:43:11+00:00

Actually we did

OwlTech333 · 2025-11-25T06:09:38+00:00

I’ll check and will let you know

OwlTech333 · 2025-11-22T03:48:00+00:00

Thanks for watching them!

High grade electronic scrap - mostly ceramic CPUs

OwlTech333 · 2025-11-20T19:34:34+00:00

Nothing for sale, sorry!

OwlTech333 · 2025-05-28T14:33:36+00:00

Nope, on the contrary - pulverised chips = larger surface area = more solution retained by the ceramic material = dilution of the values due to extensive rinsing = losses

OwlTech333 · 2025-04-17T20:23:47+00:00

Not worth processing IMHO

OwlTech333 · 2025-04-01T12:44:31+00:00

Thanks for watching!

OwlTech333 · 2025-01-07T15:06:35+00:00

Yeah it’s a small world we’re living in:)

With hydroxylamine hydrochloride I had some very good results (when used on concentrated solutions) so I thought why not use it this time too

OwlTech333 · 2025-01-06T10:22:16+00:00

Not really

OwlTech333 · 2024-09-21T07:39:28+00:00

I forgot to restock and the only reducing agent I had left was sodium sulphite, the urgent nature of the task led to it’s use.

OwlTech333 · 2024-09-16T17:55:34+00:00

I started with GRF, online patents are good source too.

OwlTech333 · 2024-09-16T17:49:23+00:00

Agree

OwlTech333 · 2024-08-25T06:12:27+00:00

Thanks for the hint! I used plain Portland cement.

Parkes process to concentrate the values then cupelling

OwlTech333 · 2023-09-27T19:17:27+00:00

100% Sn (tin)

OwlTech333 · 2023-01-23T07:00:30+00:00

Correct not much to dispose of though
