Automotive News -- October 15, 2014 - 12:01 am ET

Scrap dealers show up once a month at Faulkner Hyundai on the northeast side of Philadelphia and haul away the worn-out parts from the service department.

But unlike most dealerships, Faulkner Hyundai doesn't add the $500 or so it gets for the parts to its bottom line.

Instead, it puts the cash into a kitty that helps feed and entertain the store's roughly 45 employees.

Scrap Inconel Alloy Recycling

What is Inconel?

Inconel is a brand name given to a large group of nickel-chromium
super-alloys, created by Special Metals Co. These metals enjoy the job
descriptions that often involve the most corrosion-filled,
temperature-extreme tasks imaginable; were talking about environments
that are way too degrading for stainless steel to hold up in. 
Because Inconel is made up of mostly Nickel and Chromium, it
is fairly dense; about as dense/heavy as copper.  But of course, its
worth much more then Copper.

Silver from keyboards.

Here's an interesting idea from bob the plumber regarding the silver foils in old keyboards..

Cupellation Method

Silver ore and scrap silver have to go through a refining process in order for the pure silver to be separated from the dross. Cupellation is when it is heated to 1,200 degrees Celsius in a special furnace. First though, the silver scrap or ore is placed in a solution of 30 percent to 35 percent nitric acid. It takes an 40 grams of nitric acid to dissolve 28 grams of silver. 

The solution produces a white powder, silver chloride. When sodium carbonate is mixed with the silver chloride and placed in a cupellation furnace, the heat causes a chemical reaction and makes table salt and silver. The process works without the addition of sodium carbonate as well but then the heat releases poisonous chlorine gas as it produces the pure silver.

Failing to Succeed Movie

Failing to Succeed Movie: Yes, it is a challenge to succeed; you've got to become a good planner, and a good dreamer. You've got to see the future finished in advance. You've got to put in the long hours and put up with the setbacks and the disappointments. You've got to learn to enjoy the process, because challenges are part of success.

The Green Side of Metal

An interesting article has been published by greenlivingsavings.com giving 6 reasons scrap metal is a good green business.

Extract....

Reusing and recycling items has become ingrained in a society concerned about fulfilling its environmental responsibility. The industry of metal processing and fabrication is no different. In fact, a large percentage of metal products manufactured for industrial and commercial use come from recycled sources. Products like auto parts, building materials and even jewelry generally use recycled metal. This is an already huge industry and in continually on the incline. Knowing and understanding the right avenues to pursue can be beneficially for all young green businesses. 

Here are the six main steps that metal processors use to transform unsightly scrap metal into valuable raw materials.

Nice to see something positive being published about scrap metal for a change :-)

Magnets and Scrap

 
Ohio magnet maker attracts customers selling scrap

Walker Magnetics, with a plant near Rickenbacker Airport, is the America's leading manufacturer of magnets for the steel industry.

Inside the walls of a nondescript building, workers fabricate magnets capable of lifting more than 100 tons.

These are electromagnets, super-size versions of the grade-school science project in which you magnetize a nail by wrapping a wire around it and touching it to an alkaline battery. An electric current creates a force that either attracts or repels other metals.

Gold Recovery: How to recover gold from ink cartridges

Another excellent video from "Moose Scrapper" on how to recover gold from ink cartridges.

Some ribbons have adhesive on one side and will not work in this reaction. You may have to incinerate them with your IC's and flat packs. Very easy process with HCL ( Muriatic acid) and bleach to make Auric chloride.

Have a great day and an awesome 2014 :-)
