Hi Everyone,
How I got to this point is not to relevant it was just a mistake.
Where I am at now is I have silver chloride mixed into a gold drop. I can think of 2 ways to resolve the problem myself and wanted to know which was better or if there is a better way I am unaware of.
My first thought is to convert the silver chloride to silver metal using lye and sugar. Then dissolve the silver out from the gold
My 2nd thought would be to dissolve the gold from the mix and then convert the silver.
With this method I am concerned that the silver chloride will just hold the dissolved gold since it is so light and fluffy which I would think has many small pockets to hold the gold.
I am well aware either method will require much rinsing and such I was just shortening to the basic process.
Obviously I am trying to find the best way. I have never been in this situation before and would think someone may have experience with this in the past.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanx
