Hi all,
I have 30 kg of impure silver brick which has roughly 60 % silver 25% copper and 15% zinc. I am able to purify silver by nitic acid treatment followed by displacement reaction with copper, and I am able to recover copper using iron, however, I am struggling to separate zinc. Is there a way to separate zinc from the solution? I don't really want to use metallic-reducing agents to do it as this leads to a never-ending chain of reactions.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks!
