just starting up and trying to decide on buying vs making nitric acid. i found a local supply that sells 2.5l of nitric acid for $85 vs buying 32oz of sufuric acid, 1lb kno3 and a basic lab distillation kit totaling about $60... i have a few questions i hope u guys can help me answer!
-how much nitric acid is produced via making it at home with 32oz of sulfuric acid?
- would it be cheaper to use the Muriatic acid, kno3 and copper method for homeade nitric acid?
-will the cost of the lost copper be more than the gain of small gold recovery?
-i know the copper can be recovered with aluminium, but it is heavily contaminated with aluminium. will using this again to make more acid contaminate the nitric acid or interfere with the aqua regia in anyway?
-also for silver recovery, once the silver is collected via copper tube, can the nitric acid be reused?
thanks so much guys!
