@philipbender956

Just keep adding copper. Eventually you will consume all of your nitric acid. It takes four times as much nitric acid to dissolve copper as it does silver. Once all the nitric acid has been consumed the copper will start displacing the silver. Once all the silver has fallen out of solution you should be able to rinse the copper away with tap water. Any remaining copper or pmg's will be removed upon further purification in a silver electrolytic cell.

How long does it take for all the silver to crash out after adding the copper?

@philipbender956

2 жыл бұрын

It starts to crash out immediately. Depending on how much silver is dissolved in the solution. It could take between 4 and 12 hours. There are other factors in play. If the copper gets completely coated with silver crystal it will stop crashing out. So you need to periodically refresh your copper. Once you no longer see crystal's forming on the copper. The silver is out of solution.

@philipbender956

5 жыл бұрын

No I have not added h202 to my nitric acid silver refining solution. Adding h202 to your distilled water while it is still cold at the beginning of the operation will help convert some of the nitrogen dioxide fumes back into nitric acid.but once the solution is hot any further additions of h202 will only cause it to boil off. Adding h202 to your nitric acid solution will also increase the oxitive power of the nitric acid. Thus causing small silver particulate to dissolve faster resulting in a foam up. (Adding room temperature distilled water will stop your solution from foaming over.) Also if you are getting foam in your solution that doesn't readily dissipate that maybe sign that you didn't incinerate you're beginning silver well enough and there may be some waxy residues.
