Could you use the super salinenated water to float ashes better after you incenerate ICs?

try an experiment. let us know what the results are, i have never incinerated to ash before

thank you
 
thanks for the info, i separated the ones I could pull the pins out with the ones that need the freeze method. I don't have a drum of them so it shouldn't be that bad. the hard part will be wanting to clean out my cell after running them all thru! it will probably happen. first time cell clean out. gotta start research on the charmin plug

If you use a wad of fiberglass insulation instead of the toilet paper you can filter the concentrated acid. It's slower than filtering diluted acid but would save having to heat the acid and evaporate the water back out.

If you haven't made your gold stripping cell yet, you might want to check out the micro sized one I made. If you have a lot of material to run, you probably want a bigger one than this but, this has worked for me so far.

Edit: I see from your first post you already made the stripping cell. The fiberglass plug is still worth checking into though.
 
has anyone tied putting there water saturated sulfuric in the freezer & see if the water can be removed as a chunk of ice ???

just wondering since i am now out of my freezer LOL
 
it's funny you mentioned the micro cell and after I already started I saw that post and then slapped my head. that would be easier. next time I think I'm just going to use my 2 cup Pyrex. I like things that pour easy. I have 2 - 2 cup. 1 - 4 cup and 1 - 1 cup Pyrex. I try and do all my process's in those. I hate cups that cannot pour right and I broke my glass stir rod.

picked up some insulation today for the funnel.

speaking of cold on this thread. it's freaking freezing in Houston, tx. this is the coldest I have ever been in this state and I'm from Michigan. this isn't right.

Oh I care! This is the worst Winter ive ever seen here & ive been here 55 yrs!
You should have seen what temps & snowfall I had to endure here in NW Indiana this yr. All the road salt dumped eating away on my vehicles makes me want to cry! :cry:
Snow piled so high I couldn't see over it. I swear Alaska had a better Winter.............but at least here my bathroom isn't an outhouse like up there. Man its a rough tough bunch up in that State. Ill stick to paying taxes & have longer Springs,Summers, & Falls here tho thank you very much.
 
it's been interesting the past few weeks. we planted tomatoes 3 weeks ago thinking it wasn't going to frost again because some years we don't get a frost at all and certainly not one at the beginning of March. well it did frost, three times after we planted. insane winter for south texas. we should be in the upper 70's now and it's just not happening yet.

but I shouldn't complain. I'm sure the summer will be very hot and the mosquito's won't be so bad. last year they never died out. this year I have not seen one since December. which is nice.
 
here in the toronto area(canada) we plant our tomatos about mid may LOL

we also don't have an "E" in tomato
 
We broke the all time record for number of days below zero here I Wisconsin - The previous record was something like 63 or 65 days set back in 1817 (I think that was the year)

we are finally getting temps in the mid 20s to mid 30s --- almost tee shirt weather :mrgreen:

Alll this talk of cold making me want to move
Its already hot and humid in southern cal
Dont even want to refine without shade

Has anyone tried the salt on ics

I will today right after i complete my sluice

Question if i use a sluice into a bucket of water say 2 of the 5 gal with a fish pump to take water and ash from the
Bucket back to the sluice where does the ash go
Does the ash get caught in the sluice and just gets dumped
I always thought the gold gets stuck im the sluice
But the gold would never get out of the
Bucket and up the hose back to the sluice

I am definitely missing something
Dump your ash at top od sluice and ash goes ro bucket maybe

I like bmgolds video of the electrical box i will try today

There are a lot of active posts on ash and ic's soon they will need to be combined

Thanks steyr223 rob
 
Rob, you put the ash/gold into the sluice box and as the water runs through the box from one end to the other it washes the ash out leaving the gold in the box. All the ash will end up in the water bucket.
