Hi Gentlemen,
I just wanted to ask your thoughts on what to do with this very dark beautiful blue Copper nitrate, from the first filtering, after I cement silvered and got back 503g cement silver from 540g Sterling I had melted.
1.Would it be a waste of time to try to extract silver chorlide with HCL and then LYE sugar?
- I took a baby beaker and filled it with Copper nitrate and put in some HCL and sure enough I did see some small white cheese form, nothing to spectacular.
2. Put some fresh copper back in the Copper Nitrate, ( will it react more?) but I think its all reacted. Can it be energized?
3. Neutralize it? Can you use Magnesium Hydroxide alkali to Neutralize? I was reading that you can use Ammonium hydroxide.
Thank you for your wisdom and advice. You’ve probably covered this at nauseum in other posts. I honestly was checking around, but couldn’t specifically get this answered.
