This is a short tutorial demonstrating the separation of silver and gold using Nitric Acid. The initial weight of silver/gold mix weighed 41.5 grams.

Here is the initial silver gold mix used:

I know it's a dumb question, but after watching your tutorial (great) how do you get the cottage cheese to metallic silver?

Thank you.

Home made nitric acid won't be as good as commercial one, unless you distillate it with a recoil... You can expect 35% nitric acid made of KNO3 and about 60% nitric acid with NaNO3. Commercial can be from 70% to 95%, depends on the brand.
Hope it helps.
