How do I start a conversation on a silver subject in the correct area or place.? Confused
You just did create a new thread i the Silver section.How do I start a conversation on a silver subject in the correct area or place.? Confused
Write it in the box and press send.Looks like it lost all my dialog ???? How to send???
I had some silver made from silver plated items and had made them into bars. I wanted to run them through a silver cell to further refine, so I melted each bar and poured it into water. Put each bars silver in different cups. In looking over the results, See pictures, some of the silver is bright and shiny and some not so much. I thought that it might be copper in the not so shiny ones so I took a equal amount of both and dissolved them in equal amounts of nitric. Was expecting to see the blue color but it is more green? I don't want to contaminate my silver cell electrolyte so wondered what you all thought?Looks like it lost all my dialog ???? How to send???
Yes and you have done it already several times.I had some silver made from silver plated items and had made them into bars. I wanted to run them through a silver cell to further refine, so I melted each bar and poured it into water. Put each bars silver in different cups. In looking over the results, See pictures, some of the silver is bright and shiny and some not so much.

You said to press send to send, but I don't see a send box????? Do you mean "post reply?
Nickel gives the green color.I had some silver made from silver plated items and had made them into bars.

Looking at his pics, dropping with Copper would simply add Copper as an extra contaminant into the mix which doesn't appear to be there already. Ive never been a fan of increasing the contaminants to get rid of another one Nater. It's like taking one drug to counter the effects of another.why not drop with copper and re-dissolve to keep your silver cell clean?
i have it all the time: refresh the page and your message is back in the reply box.Looks like it lost all my dialog ???? How to send???
I also think it is mainly copper impurity plus some base metals. you can test it by some drops of ammonia in the dirty solution. If it turns to blue it has copper in it.I thought that it might be copper in the not so shiny ones so I took a equal amount of both and dissolved them in equal amounts of nitric.

you will have no problem with shiny silver anode in the cell but about the darker one anode, do you have any analysis of the darker melted bar?Should I still use my silver cell to refine the silver with the nickel in it, and what will that do when I drop the silver out of the electrolyte? Also now that we are here "how do you know when to change the electrolyte"?
