Non-Chemical beatin a dead horse.... sorry....

[Moparnut29]

not lookin for techniques, just have been collectin motherboards and anything I thin in the hvac field that will salvage anything, and Im just lookin to find a starting point as to where I can learn what worth my time and whats not, and what processes to start tryin to get the metals out and what not to try. would like to learn the right way and not by experimentation...


Thanx for the help...

The right way is to take some time studying the forum, and books like Hoke's and Ammen's.

Jim is not being unkind. There is much you must know in order for you to make informed decisions. Only hard study will get you there. Read the books recommended, and read the forum. Store your wastes until such time that you understand what you hope to know. If you rely on a few tips, you will struggle endlessly, and likely toss values.

Welcome Moparnut29,
You have years of studying to do, yes your beating a dead horse, but we understand you’re new and have not got a clue of where to begin, I began at the oldest posts (read most every one of them at least once), (Hokes book), one of the most valuable source of information), basically it takes a lot of work to get a little bit of gold, most people think it comes easy, and doing what we do would be realy easy, well I could learn that in just a two page paper, and become rich, truth is you will work probably harder for your values than the kid at dairy queen does for his paycheck, but the education and those tiny buttons of gold shine better than his paycheck.

Find Hokes book and study, do her experiments, learn testing of metals in solution, reread the book again as you begin to see what she is telling you, there will be so much you missed the first time you read it.

After you spend some time studying you will have the things you’re looking for, right now even you do not know what that is, and neither will I.

Some easy way to begin recovery with memory fingers, HCL/H2O2, then move onto HCL/bleach.
