How to recycle gold from computers!!!!!

   

                                    HI I'M JEN,

                     WELCOME TO MY NEW BLOG

    If you have some old computers lying around, you might be wondering if there is a way to extract the gold from them. Gold is used in electronic devices because it is durable, has good electrical conductivity, and is less prone to corrosion. You will find traces of the gold on internal modems, drives, random access memory chips, motherboards, and central processing units.

    Recycling gold from electronics can be a fun and rewarding hobby, but it also requires some safety precautions and equipment. In this blog post, I will show you the first three steps out of twelve to start recycling gold from computers without using harmful chemicals.

Step 1: Prepare the computer parts

    The best parts to use in this project are printed circuit boards, motherboards, central processing units, random access memory chips, drives, and other internal modems. Identify areas with gold color on these parts and strip the surrounding plastic. You should have more gold-colored components than plastic to extract a sizeable amount of gold. Break the parts into small bits to fit in a glass beaker and submerge under the stripping solution.

Step 2: Prepare the stripping solution

    In this experiment, we will use a mixture of sea salt, vinegar, and hydrogen peroxide. Others elsewhere might recommend using toilet bowl cleaner and hydrogen peroxide to do the same job. For now, let’s use the salt and vinegar method. To get started, add 235g of sea salt into a beaker, pour 2L of white vinegar in, and stir until the salt dissolves. Vinegar and salt form a powerful, but non-corrosive stripping solution needed to etch out the tiny gold particles on the computer parts.

Step 3: Connect the apparatus to an air pump

    Take another glass beaker and insert a tube connected to an air pump. This setup will help to circulate oxygen and remove unwanted gas from the stripping solution. You need enough oxygen to ensure that the solution strips as much gold from the electronic parts as possible. Next, add the e-waste to the beaker to hold down the oxygen tube and keep it from shifting around.

    These are the first three steps to start recycling gold from computers. In the next blog post, I will show you how to filter, rinse, and refine the gold foils that you will obtain from this process. Stay tuned!
