Non-Chemical Pic of my Cell

You might want to rethink your basket the way it looks you can create a direct short if the basket bends down and settles on the bottom of your container.

Thank you for the heads up. I need to find a more ridged and bigger piece of stainless steel mesh to form my pin basket better.

Copper mesh will give better results and fewer problems when you clean out the cell for processing. See Lasersteves videos and check out past posts on cells. The other members gave me a lot of help my first time.

Steve has the copper mesh for sale on his website. Your going to have problems with the stainless.

I'll second the copper basket - I can post a template I use to make mine. So far I've processed 30 lb. (13.6k) in mine & still going strong! Rinse well after each use (lazersteve recommends storing it in a ziploc baggy) I leave mine out to dry. Keep it dry & periodically "rough up" the surface, just enough to displace any oxidation. I made a lip for the rim of my cell, & i slide an old stainless steel butter knife through it for better contact.

I would like to see the template for the basket please. I have had a few problems with mine.

Template? There is no template for making these things look at Steve's website and get an idea on how to mold on by hand using the mesh he has available.

Qiuck power supply question:
I am pulling apart 100 24 port hubs.
The power supply that comes with each uses a tower wall plug which
connects to the adapter.
The adapter numbers are
1.0A max 47-63Hz
Output: +5v 2.5A

Would this be enough power to supply a gold cell?

Here is a picture and a crude template drawing for the basket I make and use. The overall size is 4” x 1-3/4” with ½” deep sides. This can be made from a single piece of 6” x 6” copper mesh with very little scrap.

I made several of these so I could rotate them while using. One in the cell, then one in the rinse and one allowed to try before going back into the cell.

I suggest you cut this out on plain paper and learn how to fold before going to the copper mesh. I ended up putting this template on some thin cardboard, like the back of a tablet. In time you will see that the only reference lines needed will be the cut lines.

Thank you I think I see what I am doing wrong. I made the basket deeper and I have read that it work as a faraday cage and not strip properly.

You want the front lip of the basket to be shorter than the other sides so that a faraday cage is not created.

Do a search on the forum for sulfuric cell. It uses undiluted sulfuric acid and DC current to deplate gold items.

 

[lazersteve]

Check my website for videos of the process also.

I don´t find any videos on your website..
I want to know what metal is the anode and the kathode.
And what sulfuric?
