Why do you use green masking and not any other ordinary color in printed circuit boards?
Green, Red, Purple, Gold, Blue are all used.
What are the industrial uses of gold?
electrical connections and circuit boards. gold conducts electricity very efficiently and does not corrode.
Where is the gold located on the computer boards?
It was once used in all the circuit boards such as the motherboard. However this was expensive, and it's rare to find any gold in modern computer electronics.
Why is there gold in circuit boards?
firstly, Only on Certain circuit boards. secondly, gold is a malleable, non-corroding/rusting conductive metal. gold has the lowest resistance to the flow of electricity through it; this side of a superconductor.
Is there any gold in digital cameras?
The only gold you may find in a digital camera are small slivers of gold used to establish internal surface mount wire connections on the pc boards. Probably nothing worth taking it apart to salvage for. TVs are known for having gold in PLASMA tvs in some of their circuit boards as well.
How much gold plating in a computer?
for one thousand pounds of circuit boards you can expect at today's rates to get ~$10,000 after it is refined
What do you use neurotic acid for?
For gold extraction out of electronic equipment in circuit boards
How much gold is in a computer processor?
Not much, since the gold is typically just a thin plate over copper traces. Printed circuit gold is usually only one or two mils thick and you'd need several boards to make up an ounce of gold. It IS worth it, but you'd need to process several boards to make it worth your time and effort.
How do you heat the gold from computer printed circuit boards?
== == No, you do not 'grind' up the circuit boards containing the gold. You remove the 'ears' and other parts that are plated with gold. You have a few options as to the heating of the gold, which will not be pure and needs to be separated out from the impurities. The best method without producing hazardous waste is with a Shor refiner. They are expensive. There are other 'dry' methods of extracting the gold using various heating methods, some of which are advertised on Ebay. Either way, if you are burning ANY electronic circuit board, you are producing noxious fumes and this needs to be done outdoors, period. As for the power cord being 'worth' more than the gold in the computer, that's just bullcrap. The older 286, 386 and 486 chips, have much more gold plating on them. With gold holding at $900 per oz, I'm thinking of getting into the refining business.
How do you extract Gold from hard rock What is the best format to do alluvial gold extract How do you concentrate your gold extract and what is the simplest way of concentrating Gold?
.
What are the materials used to make an Xbox One controller?
Mostly molded plastics then printed circuit boards (plastic composites, copper traces, solder) then ICs (plastic, metal alloy leads, silicon chips, aluminum or gold bond wires) then minor miscellaneous materials.
How is mobile phone gold extracted?
The old circuit boards are simply melted in a furnace. The gold and other metals sink, while the plastics and other products float to the top as 'slag'.
