So cool actually very good color you guys you guys have a heck of a night drew nice piece it's a copper silicate yeah that's one of your great copper specimens it give me into my yield might not be too large from the Corner Brackets that I collected it might have virtually be grams oh really yeah out of a substantial amount once again there's a lot of impurities that's what you have to work with only to consider the most efficient method for extraction if I want to get a usable amount but first need to make it small and the next step has treant always is to crush it and mill it in a ball mill get to small Metal Corner Brackets particle size so you can extract the Corner Brackets so smash smash done some of it and pretty soft so it actually grinds down pretty quickly so got the copper or it all crushed up and in the ball mill there's needle a run for a few days and get nice fine particle sizes so for a low-grade Corner Brackets like the stuff I collected the process of electoral mining is the probably the best way to do it which is the same method they use today for a lot of copper extraction the first step is I have a bath of sulfuric acid.
I'm going to dissolve it into and the copper will react with the sulfuric acid to produce copper sulfate all the impurities will settle out so then from the copper sulfate I will run electricity through it and on when the anodes will form pure copper so I've looked the copper sulfate solution react for a few days to do the electrowinning process so I'm going to measure out what I got and see what type of yield I can expect from my larger batch got the dried sample now hopefully a majority of the copper do some math figure out what concentration we were able to extract from the raw or not looking good math time you do math at my head a little under 2 grams parts whole Outdoor Screws I remember how to do significant figures there we get about 2.8 per cent of actual copper from the Corner Brackets which is actually higher than I expected I got a little bit over 50 pounds of raw Corner Brackets. Large metal corner brackets, Metal corner brackets for wood, Heavy-duty metal corner brackets, Long metal corner brackets, Metal corner brackets Screwfix, Decorative metal corner brackets, Corner brace brackets, L brackets.
Outdoor screws Screwfix, Railway sleeper brackets, Screwfix railway sleeper brackets, Railway sleeper brackets b&q. So my final yield should be a pound and a half not bad that's good to know how to do the big batch I do not sorry I wasn't talking to you a letter anyways now I know what to expect get started on the pullback well ventilated outside add the sulfuric acid very slow so the sulphuric acid reacts with the copper or overnight last night and produce copper sulfate which should now be in solution and most of the solids should have settled some to take from the top strain it and then I can begin the electrowinning but the negative on to the stainless steel got the batch of copper sulfate all drained so gonna get this guy in there.
