Point taken Thank you.
ExactlyYou need proper stirring, nothing will cement unless it comes in contact with the Copper.
If its not properly stirred, parts of the liquid will never be in contact with the Copper.
I guess Silver Chloride, right?Exactly
and Yes I use a fish tank air pump to make the solution slowly circulated and still not all the silver is cemented.
even when I put lot of copper in it
and almost all the copper disolved in the solution.
i filter out the silver nitrate,put in another bucket
and I add HCL
and next morning,i have Silver nitrate at the bottom of the bucket.
I definitely will do this on my next run for sure. Thank you for the tips, much appreciated.Exactly

Have u ever used sulfuric acid to dissolveSo once again I attempted the Silver Chloride conversion to cement silver. This time after I rinsed the silver chloride and then added the Sodium Hydroxide and saw the particles turn black to silver oxide, I did not rinse it. I just added the corn syrup one tablespoon after another so 2 total. The mirror in the beaker came and went quickly leaving the gray cement silver. I then rinsed well with boiling water and then filtered. I'm comfortable now doing this on a small scale so I'm confident on a larger ( not too large) scale that I can do this without fail. I once again would like to thank all the gentlemen in the forum for their expert opinions and advice. I couldn't do it without you.

I have tried it, how does it work out?Have u ever used sulfuric acid to dissolve
Please do not use shortcuts like U and such.Have u ever used sulfuric acid to dissolve

It works fine for me but I was wondering if it dissolves nickelI have tried it, how does it work out?
Sorry I had a typo, I have NOT used sulfuric acid.I’m new and don’t know how to navigate new posts. Sorry
Well I just did and it actually worked pretty good for me. I’ve tried doing the gold with the nitric and that process but could never drop my gold back out. So I gave up that and went to trying the sulfuric acid and lye/sugar method for silver and it works extremely wellSorry I had a typo, I have NOT used sulfuric acid.
What kind of gold did you dissolve and did you dissolve it with nitric or aqua regia ?Well I just did and it actually worked pretty good for me.

I dissolved foils from boards and pins into aqua regia. But after filtration and neutralization I could never get the gold to drop out. I would just have this brown liquid floating on the top of the solution and all my smb would solidify on the bottom. So I got frustrated and quit doing it. I just watched videos on cupelling. And I think that’s the way that would work best for me after failing with acids so many times.What kind of gold did you dissolve and did you dissolve it with nitric or aqua regia ?
If you neutralize the acid to pH 7 the SMB do not work.I dissolved foils from boards and pins into aqua regia. But after filtration and neutralization I could never get the gold to drop out.

Well I was always told to use urea which doesn’t work and baking soda doesn’t work for me so not sure how to neutralize itIf you neutralize the acid to pH7 the SMB do not work.
It has have a pH of 4 or lower preferably closer to one.
How did you neutralize the solution?
Or did you mean destroy the Nitric?
First and foremost you do NOT neutralize it.Well I was always told to use urea which doesn’t work and baking soda doesn’t work for me so not sure how to neutralize it
Did you ever read the links I provided to you?Well I was always told to use urea which doesn’t work and baking soda doesn’t work for me so not sure how to neutralize it

Yes I do. I haven’t done that for a few months. I think the nitric I have is garbage anyways too. It’s Jsp nitric substitution crystals and it never dissolves anything I put in itDid you ever read the links I provided to you?
