As title suggests.
I have an amount of silver chloride in silver nitrate (probably a few pounds of silver as silver chloride) that is mixed with some junk that I'd rather not melt, or heat much.
So, I can filter off the chlorides, but like I said, it's the junk that is mixed in with the chlorides. Bits of ceramics, metals, etc. Stuff that while I can slag off in a melt (after conversion of silver), I really don't want to have to because it's oxidation is going to cause losses of silver, as well as smoke that I don't want to be around.
What I'd REALLY like to convert the silver back to elemental, and redigest it in nitric, so that I can filter off the metallics.
What temperature do I ideally have to get the silver sponge to before it will oxidize off all of the excess chlorides?
