Thanks Kayne! Very glad to hear it!

Noice 👍🏻 Love from India

I have done this with pure silver nitrate granules that I acquired from a friend who saved small jars of it from the trash where he works. I made a chain necklace and a couple of rings out of the silver I extracted from it.😁

In gold refining (electronic waste) it is general practice to do nitric acid washes to clean up the gold. The silver ends up in that nitric acid. I assume I can copper drop that solution right?

You sure can. 😀

@@LithicMetals Nice. My goal is to only keep nitrates in solution. Then I will drop the copper next... then boil down the last of the junk down and crystallize it. Why you ask? I can throw the recovered nitrate salts into a distillation apparatus... and add some good old H2SO4... reflux... and recover a good portion of my HNO3 through distillation! The stuff left in the flask will all be sulfates of whatever junk was in there. Can be dried and thrown into the waste bucket. (leaving you with relatively very little, dry, non-explosive, easy to handle waste) There... now I gave you a tip. ;-)

Love your vids! Where are you located in the States? I'm from NY

Hello, your method is very good, but I have a question: do you neutralize the solution before applying the copper or not? Thank you

Neutralize, no. However I generally try to make sure all of the free nitrates are spent. Whereas in this video I neglected to do so.

Hello How much copper must I use usually Is there a calculation? Did you warm up the liquid while adding copper ? And can I use the solution many several time ? If yes how do I know must add nitric acid on solution

Due to safety issues, no one should conduct these experiments without first studying fully the hazards of doing so. This stuff is very unhealthy! From my experience for every gram of copper that goes into solution, apx. 2.5 grams of silver drop out. No, don't warm the solution, the reaction itself causes heat. No, you can't reuse the solution. You must learn how to treat the waste solution or it will be an environmental hazard!

Thanks for your reply , can I do the silver electrolyte cell process without using copper ? And what copper do

what kind of acid is used here (please tell me)

@LithicMetals

Nitric Acid. 🙂

why doesnt the silver re-react with the nitric acid?

What is that solution from?

Did You destroyed the nitric acid, before adding the copper to the solution?, or not.
