Hey folks! I haven’t posted in a bit because I haven’t processed anything in a bit. But here I am back with another question. I’m processing 2lbs of RAM BGA I purchased from eBay. Here’s the process thus far:
1. Soak chips in HCl for a day to remove solder/tin
2. Wash drain dry
3. Incinerate (Pyrolyze + pan roasting)
4. Ball mill for 2 days
5. Use magnet to separate magnetics but almost nothing collected
6. Wash / rinse burned carbon
7. Added Aquaregia ~500mL HCl ~15mL HNO3
8. Let soak for 1 hour
9. Set beaker on heat for another hour (stirred)
10. Reaction completed added 5mL HNO3 and fumes began again
11. Reaction stopped.
12. Added dusting of Sulphamic Acid with no reaction…
13. Added more 5 mL HNO3 on heat with no fumes
14. Added sulphamic acid with very little reaction at all. Unexpected considering the HNO3 I just added
15. Added more sulphamic to make sure
16. Took off heat and added 350mL H2O
So my question is I now have this greenish opaque liquid. Should I just continue with filter and move forward? Does this look ok?
