Is it worth collecting the Pb/Sn solder of circuit boards to try to get the precious metals out of the amalgamation?
How do you know about the silver contents in electronic solder, have you measured it?Geo said:most all older electronics solder before mid 90's and some after have a fair amount of silver and much older earlier than late 70's had alot of silver and some lead.if you dissolve the solder as part of your process depending on the process,(hcl disolution) silver will deposit as a black powder in the bottom of your chamber as the solder dissolves.if your using a nitric based process the silver will be in the solution with the exception of AR where processing CPU's and other IC packages.
