Green Fe Precipitate Question

[user 72646]

Hi
I've been filtering solutions
can anyone tell what this green precipitate is below the silver blue slick on surface?
is this iron sulphate, if so could this simply be stored to drop gold in future.
how can I test?
Thanks in advance

Was there Iron in the material you used? If not it is not Iron Sulfate.
If there was, the next question is:
Did you use Sulfuric in this liquid.
If not it is not any Sulfate.
Besides that the color is too strong.

yes to sulphuric, 10% and salt.
iron I am unsure.
I did add 15ml of hcl and a drop of bleach to a 3inch piece of board with some silver plate. then filtered the 15-20ml of solution (hcl and dead bleach) after reaction was done. solution was grey but clear.( this may explain silver slick on surface of solution)
so this solution was a mix of filtered solutions after aluminium drop/smb/vit drops on decanted solution around a 100ml in volume each.. and 15-20ml of solution hcl & bleach) I hoped would etch silver to create agcl.
maybe iron precipitated after first aluminium drop and dissolved In presence of new 15ml hcl and bleach which reacted with silver plate on small piece of board.?

For the nth time, if there is Chlorides you will not get Silver in solution, if it is there in the first place.
Plain boards will have next to nothing Silver on it or in it.
Tin yes, Silver no.

Fe?

Ferrous sulfate is a rather pale green. Basic copper(II) salts are a more opaque green or blue-green, and look more like your picture 8 & 18 to me.

A drop of oxidizer like hydrogen peroxide can turn neutral iron salts a vivid angry red as the iron(II) is oxidized to iron(III).

Brilliant feedback thanks....

I filtered some, about 1 gram. So I can use this to drop Gold?

Answer us again please.
Why should you have Ferrous Sulfate in your solution?
How much Iron was there in the first place and how much Sulfuric acid?

As said before it do not look like Copperas at all, must likely a Copper Chloride salt of kinds.

And please DO NOT MAKE A NEW THREAD dealing with this same material.
I set out to add it all together but I lost track of what threads was yours and which ones that was just "hijacked"

Hi
sorry I am making a mess of the posts.

if this is Copper Chloride salt could it be used to drop in future?
would this material be useful to keep?

No can't be used for a drop.
Add a little to HCl to kick start AP.
