Per the bold print - how much acid you use to dissolve a given amount of metal will depend A LOT on the conditions involved in dissolving the metal4metals, should I use 1ml of HNO3 per gram with an equal amount of distilled for the electrolyte, I will be using the recommended amount of 110 grams to round off, or, should I add very small increments of HNO3 / distilled until there is just a small trace of Ag left ?
Gwar - I see the link I post to goes to "the short answer"Thanks kurtak, I am using technical grade 70% HNO3 and am going to use my harvested crystals, I will back off a bit and see what transpires.
Nice lifehack.When I have a heavily laded electrolyte I tend to run a refinement by crystallization.
As long as most of the solution Is silver nitrate it will crystallise out of a reduced solution quite easily.
This can then be returned to work in your cell.
The remainder of the liqueur which is high in impurities can be processed for P.G.M and silver.
Saves a little acid.
