Hi, merry christmas all!
Just posting this to get any feedback/ opinions of what is causing the color
settled debris and filtrate from bucket used to depopulate small boards of plated pins and desolder smd's, mostly HCl and some rinse water went in it.
I brought powder/HCl to a simmer and decanted. powder was grey with just a hint of mauve color, decanted solution clear.
Washed with hot water same. But them i heated it with household ammonia and the powder turned very very mauve, solution was clear but over time, 24 hours,it started turning mauve, when i stirred it, it got very dark color!
I would be interested in your thoughts on what it is.
Thanks! artart47
