Platinum From Meteorite

So now that the video has been watched by tens of thousands here are some problems identified by the community: I forgot I used the anvil with platinum in the past, I’ve since cleaned it of course but I can’t fully rule out contamination. Sometimes meteorite is plated in Platinum group metal to preserve it and make it shiny, I don’t know for sure that I didn’t end up with such a piece. Also the low yield is likely due to using the wrong acid and probably dissolved most of my values along with the iron. I guess this means I’ll just have to try it again right?

Man I used to binge the precious metal extraction videos back when I was younger. Watching a new one brings me so much joy. Never change Cody.

I refuse to believe it's an accident that Cody uploaded a 22 minute 22 second long video on 22/02/2022, showing how to make 22 cents worth of Platinum. I also don't think that it was a accident that her wore a Star Fleet uniform for this space filmed video :p

Cody - Twosday, 22.2.22 (or 2.22.22 US) 22 cents, $200, 22:22 long video... Something makes me think this is not coincidence! Keep making the world happy and informed my man. You have certainly added joy to my life. Much love big fella

"but regardless of method I have acquired a sample of asteroid material" honestly sounds like something a 1950s sci-fi villain would say.

It's always nice when cody uploads because it means he hasn't hurt himself doing something reckless

Happy Twosday! Thanks for coming on for a chat with John!

You really are a treasure Cody, smart, a great educator, curious humble and kind. Just a reminder that you are much appreciated

Cody: "Carbon monoxide makes me nervous" Also Cody: "Let's gargle some mercury!" 🤷‍♂️ (Just for the record, I know how dangerous carbon monoxide is. If you're telling me that, the joke has gone over your head. At least Cody got the joke...)

Well done! You got it out on 22/2/22 with a length of 22:22

I loved how you described the different kind of meteorites at the beginning of the video. I remember learning some of the first iron tools/weapons were the result of using meteorites. Just imagine what people back then thought when they saw those strange shiny objects on the ground.

Cody, your videos have always been informative and interesting, but the educational quality of this video is astounding . You are blending theory, practice, and entertainment seamlessly!

This was great, Cody! I literally just found a meteorite and have been looking for places to verify it, and this video came up! This was so interesting!

Just an idea for the mars base, ever considered doing a ‘waste water’ treatment video? An interesting idea would be the photo-fenton process. It uses Iron(II)/Iron(III) ions in the waste water to produce hydroxyl radicals that can help treat the water, the process can be sped up with the addition on hydrogen peroxide (reducing the need for iron(II) to produce hydrogen peroxide from water). If it helps I can send some journal articles on it

Is it just me or is Cody looking really well lately compared to say a year or two ago. Keep it up its visible you're much more happy !

Cody, I've just been watching through your precious metals refining videos over the last couple of weeks and was thinking, "man! I really wish me would start this series back up again.. " and here we are. Resounding success or not, I really enjoy watching the process and deductive reasoning used. Thanks for this!

Yes the Platinum is nice but The Nickel and Cobalt solution at 14:31 has such a stunning blue color, kinda like a blue sapphire. It looks so cool.

Cody is back! I've discovered his channel with the algae video and then just binged all his old videos lol. This channel is so diverse, cool and informative all at the same time. Keep up the great work Cody!

cody ive loved watching you over the years and wanted to take a moment to thank you for making chemistry and metallurgy etc so much fun, thank you and keep on keeping on!

This is some of my favorite kinds of Cody'sLab. I look forward to Asteroid Mining Part II. Side note: I'd love to see a follow up of the highway platinum video
