According to the chemist I spoke to at Flinn supply company, a magnesium turning is a small, thin, curled piece of magnesium, like you would get if you were shaving small strips of wood off of a bigger piece.
When dilute hydrochloric acid is added to copper turnings, a chemical reaction occurs where the copper is oxidized by the acid to form copper(II) chloride and hydrogen gas is produced. The reaction can be represented by the equation: Cu + 2HCl → CuCl2 + H2.
i use sparklers as they contain metal fuels such as magnesium, titanium as well as others which mean they at the right temps for a high temp ignitions. Ribbon is not very stable when lit where as sparklers can withstand the strongest winds.
The process of separating copper turnings from water typically involves filtration. First, the mixture of copper turnings and water is poured through a filter paper or mesh in a funnel. The water passes through while the copper turnings are retained on the filter, allowing for the collection of solid copper. After filtration, the copper turnings can be dried if necessary.
Cu + 2 HCl = CuCl2 + H22 Cu + 2 HCl = 2 CuCl + H2
The Road of Many Turnings - 1916 was released on: USA: 26 February 1916
Copper sulfides, but only after heating the mixture.
There would be fire safety concerns when machining a highly combustible metal, such as magnesium. Machining can produce significant heat in the material being machined, and produces a waste product such as lathe turnings, chips or dust that is very easy to ignite. This results in a Class D fire, and standard ABC rated extinguishers are ineffective in extinguishing such as fire.
The cast of The Road of Many Turnings - 1916 includes: Louise Beaudet as Mrs. Wagner Van Dyke Brooke as Mr. Wagner Gerald Gordon as Frank Norman Kalman Matus as Walter Irving Walter McGrail as Carl Whitman Arthur Robinson as Jonesy
Current brass scrap price is around 1.60 +/- per pound. Prices are fluctuating due to market conditions.

Preparation of Tris(Thiourea) Copper (I) ChlorideDissolve 5.0g of Thiourea in 25 mL of hot Water, add 1.0g of Copper Turnings. In a fume hood, add 5 mL of concentrated HCl to this mixture. Heat this on a Steam bath while the Copper dissolves. Do not boil. Add Water if needed to maintain the liquid at a constant level.Filter the hot solution and allow to cool slowly. White opaque crystals will form as the solution cools. Filter the crystals and wash them with Acetone. Allow the crystals to Air dry. Weigh the product and store in a labelled 3 dram vial.
