look and ye shall find!
batteries it seems have lots of nice zinc... the outside casing is made of it, and inside is also a zinc powder which looks kinda blueish silver.
so i tried melting a little, but it will not melt, so i'll use electrolysis to get the pure zinc out... it should have melted, so i think it's mixed with other metal.
So, i have a zinc metal can, and an electropolish/etch machine...
i want the zinc... what acid should i use, dilution? and best voltage/current. other electrode i should use
Thanks for your help in advance!
