Converting Silver Nitrate into Metallic Silver - Is Science Magic?

Ойын-сауық

In this video, I attempt to recover the dissolved silver in solution by using HCL (Hydrochloric Acid) to precipitate out silver in the form of silver chloride.
There are many steps in the silver refining process and this is the end of the 1st season of Silver Cell Videos from ‪@VendettaProspecting‬

    My chemistry professor in High School, in 1978, found A few film developing companies that would give him the silver nitrate they were discarding after use. If I remember correctly, all we did was put it in a beaker and put a 1 in. flat piece of copper suspended into it and left it for a few days. The copper attracted the silver and made silver strands. it was cool and then just scraped the silver from the copper. He said it was pure silver
