so i starting to refine 200gr sterling silver i mix nitric acid to make silver cloriode then i mix with copper bars then with silver powder make pure bars?

There are many ways to convert the Chloride to metallic Silver.Don't make the whole batch at once.
try on a small quantity.
and generally speaking:
read a book, and a forum.
Yes, and it works.Harold_V
recommended the aluminum method 17 years ago on this forum.
This method is also used by many refiners from YouTube in the post-Soviet space.
I tested it on relay contacts of a large batch
the yield of silver agreed with the passport data.
Not Sulphur, but Sulphuric/Iron.Sugar definitely isn’t - it’s exotic.
sulfur method - I have not yet found a clear description.
mentioned in many threads, but everything is confusing, I don’t have time to find it.
from good - they don’t look for good
When you say dilute what are you looking for?Not Sulphur, but Sulphuric/Iron.
Just like the HCl/Aluminum.
Dilute Sulphuric and Iron.
Some recommend using a cast Iron frying pan and add dilute Sulphuric, Silver Chloride and stir until all are converted.
Or any Iron, like nails bolts or nuts.
10% sulfuric will do the job.When you say dilute what are you looking for?

If you use Nitric Acid to dissolve Sterling Silver, ( Sterling is already 92.8% pureso i starting to refine 200gr sterling silver i mix nitric acid to make silver cloriode then i mix with copper bars then with silver powder make pure bars?
If you are dissolving Sterling Silver, (Sterling Silver is 92.8% pure Silver to begin with so why dissolve it?), you really don't want to convert it into Silver Chloride. Silver Chloride is difficult to work with and often renders a finished product of lesser purify than the Sterling Silver you started with. Using Copper, to plate out the Silver Nitrate solution, works; but, again, you most likely will end up with Silver that is less pure than the Sterling Silver you started with.so i starting to refine 200gr sterling silver i mix nitric acid to make silver cloriode then i mix with copper bars then with silver powder make pure bars?
Not sure where your heard that but it if you use even minimal care it will come out more pure than sterling.Silver Chloride is difficult to work with and often renders a finished product of lesser purify than the Sterling Silver you started with.

Dissolving the Sterling Silver, using an electrolytic Silver Cell, will yield 99.9% Fine Silver crystal, if done correctly. An Electrolytic Silver Cell is the best method, I have found, to give the most consistently pure Silver, than using chemical processes. Done properly, the Electrolytic Silver Cell, dissolves the Silver into elementary pure Silver crystal that can easily be smelted into 99.9 pure Silver ingots. The best example to follow would be found on YouTube's, SREETIPS video, tutorials. If you follow his example, you will accomplish your goal of producing 99.9 pure Silver crystal.
