Q: Is the author of “Refining precious metal wastes”, C.M. Hoke still alive? If not, when did he die?
A: If C. M. Hoke is still alive, some other old-timers in the business may know him. I suggest that you contact the International precious Metals Institute (IPMI). http://www.ipmi.org/ The members of this organization are mostly associated with recovering precious metals from wastes or recycling products.
Q: How much is 23k gold plating worth per area?
I have 2 gold “Pokemon Special Edition 23 karat Gold-Plated Trading Cards” from a long time ago. I think I bought them at Burger King. I want to sell them to a refinery that melts down precious metals (Garfield Refining) but I want to know if what I’d get out of it is even worth it.
A: I checked ebay for those cards and they tend to retail anywhere from about 99 cents for one card and $10 or so for the full set. That means that your cards in mint condition to a pokemon collector is probably worth less than $1. Melted down and destroyed… probably worth 10 cents or so. I would recommend not proceeding further.
Q: What would it trake for GOD to make one as “White as snow”?
Malachi, the last of the writing Prophets of the Old Testament painted a double image of GOD.
Malachi 3:2
Jesus Christ was revealed to be a refiner of gold and silver who refined impurities from precious metals.
The second image showed him to be a fuller. That’s a launderer who’s soap made garments as white.
Will it take a fire or cold water to purify oneself?
A: What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain
Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain
This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain
Now by this I’ll overcome—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
Now by this I’ll reach my home—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain
Glory! Glory! This I sing—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Q: What are my options for finding capital for a startup biz when I have bad credit/no collateral? Likelyhood?
basicly I want to start up a company that will recover/recycle/and refine precious metals from automotive parts. That market is GREAT. I just don’t have the means to start it all on my own. But I do have the knowledge and burning desire to get it going. The business is setup to almost be a business in a box (like a franchise, but no direct affilation like a franchise). By the way this business would be directly related to emissions systems.
A: It sounds like your only route would be to find a partner, who would believe in the viability of the business and be able to supply the capital. But be careful in the negotiations and be sure that you are represented by an attorney, who is experienced in this kind of work. If the process is unique, you may be able to patent it. Again, work closely with an attorney who is experienced in such matters.
Q: How to recycle catalytic converters?
I would like any information on how to recycle old catalytic converters. I would also like to know if anyone knows where to buy the machine to refine the scrap. Do all converters have precious metal in them? which ones have more which ones have less? is there a place that anyone know where i can get this information. I would like to start buying them and refining them myself but im not sure where to start. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
A: You will find most auto junkyard owners are well-versed in performing this operation.
Basically you cut open the muffler with a blow torch (being careful not to ignite any unspent hydrocarbons stuck in the muffler). Then you extract the platinum mesh that is the catalyst. As long as the car was never run using leaded gasoline, the mesh should be fairly pure platinum. All modern cars have catalytic converters.
I bet after a few mufflers you’d get a good feed for what part the of the muffler hold the mesh.
The rest of the muffler goes back into the scrap heap.
Q: plz plz help me. i don’t understand this??
ok well i had a question and i found the answer but I dont know what it means? can someone plz summarize this?
Question:
what relationship do you think there is between the date of discovery of a metal and how reactive it is?
- Brooke
Answer:
Before 1700, only a handful of elements were discovered. Most were precious metals, such as gold and silver which, are found as native metals without need of refining. Iron has also been known since early time. That’s probably because its most common, native form, iron oxide (rust) is readily “reduced” (removal of the oxygen and return of the electrons it took away) to form pure iron. Primitive smelters were used for this purpose in the so-called, “Iron Age.” In a smelter carbon, present as soot, was heated with the mineral rust to cause the purified iron to form. The rest of the atoms combine to form a carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide mixture. But what does this have to do with your question, you may wonder. The relationship you talk about indeed has something to do with the reactivity of the metal, since it governs in what form you find the element and how difficult it is to isolate. Thus non-reactive, precious metals were discovered early on and then the metals which were easy to convert froma a reacted form to the pure form. This has a lot to do with the current technology that’s accessible to the discoverer. That is, you may find a complicated mixture of metal oxides and know somebody who has just developed the smelter, you so critically need, and then get famous for discovering several new elements (if somehow you can separate them– but that is another part of the answer that we don’t have room for)! Or, you may discover rust and have no way of accessing a smelter because IT hasn’t been discovered or it’s been discovered, but it’s in a country thousands of miles away (and there’s no internet!! Mixtures of metal compounds with very similar chemical properties posed a particularly difficult problem. Highly developed analytical techniques were required to separate and characterize the individual metals. Then there’s the question of utility. Certain discoveries may have been driven by the needs of a community. For example, the search for and discovery of a metal like iron could be driven by a need to make better digging tools or weapons. If someone happened upon another metal, like tungsten, while looking for iron, its discovery would be downplayed or neglected since it would not have an immediate practical use (tungsten’s main use is in filaments for electric light bulbs, a relatively recent invention).
Historically speaking, after 1700, chemistry became more sophisticated and analytical tools were used to separate rarer elements from each other. Thus, the relationship between the date of discovery and the reactivity is relevant only on those rarer elements with more complex chemistries.
A: basically, if something is reactive, by the time u dig it up etc, it will have changed, and will look/act differently. if it is unreactive, it will just sit there in a chunk, being itself.
so, its easier to discover things that are obviously just what they are. gold for example – well known by aztecs, ancient egyptians etc etc. you dig it up, and there it is, usable/identifyable just as you find it. something more reactive will have reacted already into an ore or something more complicated which will require technology to extract it into a pure form.
in general, the less reactive a metal, the earlier it will have been isolated and identified.
Q: “Platform Line Of Credit” <-- are these real??
I have access to TONS of precious metal ore. It contains HUGE amounts of Gold, Platinum, etc.
What I’ve heard is that, rather than refining the ore and creating gold bars, etc, I can simply use the ore as collateral — as an asset — as security for a loan. Even at 10-30 cents on the dollar I could generate many MANY millions in asset-backed paper.
I can then put this money into trade, and because the dollar amounts are so large, make very large returns.
Almost sounds “too good to be true”.
IS this possible? Is this true? If so, how would I go about doing this?
A: Given the small number of people with access to TONS of prescious metal ore, I think you are on your own figuring out this one…
