E-waste processing component's weigh-in, 1999 Sharp MD-MT161 Md Portable Recorder

Published 2024-07-25

The new rule in our workshop is that any item that comes in must be immediately stripped down to its 16 basic components. This doesn't leave me with much time to clear the storage shed, but the separate components are gradually piling up, and I anticipate good yields from recovering gold, silver, platinum, tin, and copper. Steel for a trip to the scrapyard. I also plan to pick up sand and ballast to complete the workshop. However, despite these tasks, learning chemistry remains my top priority. I find myself getting sidetracked with other areas of chemistry, which, although not related to my current focus, I believe is valuable to know. I've already conducted reaction table experiments to gain a better understanding. When it comes to gold recovery, replication is crucial, enabling me to conduct various metal dissolution experiments using mathematical calculations. Although it's possible to follow YouTube instructions to generate waste-filled containers, I believe that it's important to understand the consequences of such actions rather than simply following blind instructions. Additionally, I find it unfair to release waste gases into the environment where animals and neighbours reside. I believe in the possibility of scrubbing gases, collecting acids, and using a combination of a 3D printer, lab-grade ducting, an old cooker, and a custom-built fume hood to process e-waste responsibly while simultaneously building the workshop and learning chemistry. As Elon Musk said, "If you want to learn, the information is out there.". This is only a short video up next Reaction table series of metals part 2. followed by Sunday evening the 165kg melt part 2. With that enjoy your upcoming weekend and I catch you all in the next episode Stay safe.
