I was removing silver plating using the reverse electrolysers method with sodium chloride solution. This also removed a lot of base metals. So I thought it best to reduce the medals in nitric acid and precipitate the silver out. I wash the metal powders with distilled water 3 or 4 times and then added nitric acid. All of the metals dissolved in solution. My problem is when I tried to put copper in it it still dissolves the copper. Salt Solution seems to do nothing at all.
So my question is how do I recover the silver out of the nitric acid solution? I'm new at this and all the videos I watched seems to make it look pretty easy. I even tried to precipitate the silver out using Hydrochloric acid with no results. I am completely baffled.
Thanks to everyone in advance who responds!
