Thanks joubjonn
I broke open one of the non soldered chips i think an prom
(No eye for reprogramming or it be an eprom)not sure but it definitely looks brassy(i am color blind but i do see gold
Very well it just looks like brass or shiney copper)
The wires from the chip to leg for sure are gold

Now in the sun for sure.all gold but only the bottom part of the chip( where the bonding wires meet)the top of the little square is silver.
and all the bonding wires are not the microscopic ones they are flat and definitely plated (when pulling apart the black plastick to see inside the gold scraped away to a silver surface

Steyr please tell me you kept a note of the exact chip type before you smashed it up mate? 8) 8)

I did not spaceships but i plan on
Writing a rather lengthy report if i am to smash thousands of chips

On another not i took one of the boards and started checking
24 pin. A9418AF
29F52SPC
All of the flat metal is plated nicely in the plastic. Fot this
Particular board this is 50+% of the totsl chips i count 54
Thanks steyr223

Thanks Rob

I'm beginning to keep this kid of data with regards to the good and back flatpacks, so happy to share with you mate because this really helps.

Jon

 

[steyr223]

Not a problem
I would want to share info on the grf to pay back
All the help i have recieved here
Anyways its just the right thing to do

But

There are so many chips sooner or later i will become frustetated and........will see
Thanks steyr223 rob

 

[steyr223]

anybody know if Tyler went on vacation

 

[Anonymous]

sure Rob, everything's welcome to be posted on here mate.

Jon

ps No haven't seen Tyler for a while either maybe he's on a beach somewhere hot.

How is everyone
Its been a couple of minutes since my last post

When it rains it pours....
Came across over 2200lbs of power supplys with fingers ....unfortunately i only had time to snap of 640 of the fingers being 4lbs
I dropped last night - perfect text book reaction ...completely clear liquid within 10 minutes....

Anyways this post was due to not the above but i finally after 2 years of waiting received the chips
The same ones at the very start of this thread
And again 483 of them
I set up a different type of sulfuric cell this time (more mobile less chance of spillage .

I Will post some pics in a few days

just to let you know, this porcelain could be beryllium oxide ceramics , mask is not bad idea.

[steyr223]

Yes that was all discussed at the very start of this thread but thank you.

Hey Rob. good to see you.

Did you get any results from this original large batch that you could share?

Jon

 

[steyr223]

Hey jon (where'd the h go)

Actually if your talking about the same chips than it
Seems like it's always around 480 on that note about
20 chips yield 1 gram of gold consistently (only in sulfuric cell after
Knocking of the ceramics)(still a small amount of gold left)

If your talking about all the boards with the 1000's
Of ic's than no I am sorry my buddy listed them and
A salvage yard swooped within a day or 2 .
$500.00 if I remember right.

Remember this is all done in the field out of my truck
So yields are going to be lower than others.

With that all said I pulled 6.5 grams and 1gram so
Far of the 4lbs of fingers still have more dust and have not
Filtered my CuCl yet only mildly decanted

I bought a new phone and the old one has the pics sorry
I will try to transferI.

Thanks steyr223 rob
Ps so far.I have processed 70 chips in my cell
How much gold can 1 gal of H2SO4 hold .

 

[FrugalRefiner]

How much gold can 1 gal of H2SO4 hold .

Rob, the sulfuric acid doesn't hold any gold. As soon as it dissolves and moves away from the parent metal and the anode, it precipitates back out as the fine black powder. The limit to how much you can process in your cell before you have to clean it out depends on how your cell is set up. As the metallic gold powder settles and builds up on the bottom, it will eventually rise to a point where it causes a short between your material/basket and your cathode. That's why you don't want your basket or cathode reaching all the way to the bottom. The deeper your container, and the higher the basket and cathode are from the bottom, the more you can process before cleanout. You could conceivably raise the basket and the cathode as the powder level rises and continue using it till there's no clear acid left.

Thanks Dave
I am not using a clear container for my cell
I am using a 2 gal white bucket with a so called spill proof lid
Which I put inside of a 5 gal bucket with same type of lid
I use a led anode

This method allows me to have way less chance
Of spillage out in the field and as far as I know keeps moisture
Out for at least 2 weeks maybe longer

The reason I ask is that the black slimes seam a little more
Prevalent this time and seams to be getting thicker

But, thank you I didn't think of the shorting out
That will help when I try to start my truck
