IC From Surface Mount

The document provides a tutorial for recovering gold from surface mount integrated circuit (IC) chips through a multi-step chemical process. The key steps include: (1) dissolving the IC chips in sulfuric acid with heat, (2) separating out remaining metals like copper using nitric acid, (3) extracting gold wires using aqua regia, and (4) precipitating pure gold powder using sodium metabisulfite. Proper safety precautions are recommended when handling the acids. The tutorial yields 2.3 grams of gold from 1 kilogram of raw IC chip materials.

Gold Recovery From Surface Mount IC

CHIPS
Introduction:
Surface mount ic chips have a good quantity of gold. Gold quantity is also different in
different ic chips. In this tutorial, we will learn about gold recovery from ic chips (black
surface mount ic chips recycling). In this tutorial, only gold shall recover from ic chips.  I
will make another tutorial about gold, silver and palladium recovery from ic chips.

 Note. These ic chips can’t recycle to use this method.


Gold recovery:
This method is very easy and gives 100% gold recovery. For Ic chips recycling, we shall
need

 Sulfuric Acid
 Nitric Acid
 Hydrochloric Acid
 Hydrofluoric Acis
 Sodium Metabisulfite
 Filter Paper
 Stainless Steel Pot

If you are a newbie then please learn about GOLD RECOVERY CHEMICALS and GOLD


RECOVERY EQUIPMENT first!
Note; this procedure contains some dangerous fumes.
Put ic chips in a stainless steel pot. Add sulfuric acid in a pot until ic chips dip. Sulfuric
acid should be 1 inch above from ic chips. Now give a normal flame heat. If you give a
strong heat then ic chips will stuck and can’t process anymore. After some time,
dissolving will start in H2SO4. If your acid starts to boil and increase its volume with
black foamy acid. Add more sulfuric acid to get the black foam. When acid completely
settled down then check is chips. After complete dissolving black material, your ic chips
will seem like below picture.

When you feel all ic chips have dissolved. Turn off heat and leave it to cool down for two
hours.

Note; Don’t leave it for a long time.


After 2 hours all metals will be settled down. Now, pour black acid to another pot
carefully. If some gold wires will go with black acid. Then you can recover them from
second pot. After pouring wash carefully ic chips with water three times.

Note; Use strainer for every washing and pouring.


Now, add water until material dip and add nitric acid for base metals removing. Nitric
acid will be added until reaction. When reaction finish,  double volume of solution with
water. Wait for all materials settled down and then pour solution. If you see some copper
or other base metals then treat again with nitric acid and add some sulfuric acid for a
better result. Then wash with water three times.

If you see aluminum and fiber fabrics then add some hydrofluoric acid. Hydrofluoric will
eat all aluminum, fiber and all extra things. When the reaction has done wash with water.
Now add some nitric again and wash with water three times. After washing you will see
gold wires like below picture.
Now, convert gold wires to the beaker or plastic bucket. Make aqua regia and add to the
gold wires. Gold wires will dissolve in aqua regia. This gold solution is also called royal
water. Leave it for two hours for reaction.

Note; Shake solution three to four times.


After two hours, filter the gold solution. You can use vacuum filtration but I will
recommend you gravity filtration. It works best and filter paper does not stuck. Wash 5
to 6 times and don’t let gold solution in filter paper. Add urea until reaction for
neutralizing the nitric acid. After this make SMB solution. You can add directly SMB to
the gold solution but sometimes it does not work better. Take the double quantity of
SMB to estimated gold. Or add until gold water become black and bubbles color
becomes white. Leave it overnight for a better result. All gold dust will settle down.

Now filter gold dust. Wash filter paper 3 to 4 times until all acid goes down. Dry and
burn filter paper and melt the gold dust. Click here to learn about GOLD MELTING. 
Hello Friends, Today I will introduce you how Gold Recovery From IC Chips. These ic chip
samples are industrial waste. I have shown an example of removing the ic chip from the
electronic circuit board. I collected the ic chip from various electronics circuits 1 kilogram Today I
will recover all gold from ic chip. I use 2 liters of sulfuric acid boiled with 1 kilogram of ic chip Use
at a temperature of 80 to 90 Celsius. If some gold wires will go with black acid. Then you can
recover them from second pot. After pouring wash carefully ic chips with water three times. I use
nitric acid mixed with water, ratio 1 to 1, get rid of the remaining metal. You will receive a gold
wire along with a piece of fiber. I use Aqua Regia gold extraction for gold wire along with a piece
of fiber. Use nitric acid and hydrochloric acid Mix 1: 3 ratio. Use sodium metabisulfite precipitate
gold out of a aqua regia solution. You will get gold sludge powder. Then cleaned the gold
sediment, dried and melted into cubes. Sprinkle a little borax powder. I received 2.3 grams of
gold from IC Chips 1 kg raw materials, extracted from various circuit boards. Wear the protective
clothing could include gloves, protective eyewear, a mask, a long sleeved shirt and long pants.
Take precautions to avoid exposure by the principal routes, that is, contact with skin and eyes,
inhalation, and ingestion. I hope you like our videos. Please apply for membership And share our
