I curently experience a lot of demand from people who want to sell silver scrap, mostly silver coin and sterling, probably due to the silver price getting intesresting. I know we have quite a few experienced large scale refiner on the forum and I was hoping to find a answer on how to refine large lot of silver without having to use expensive nitric acid in large quantity. Since most canadian coin are 80% silver and some can go down to 50% it is impossible to simply melt the material and process it directly into the electolityc cell. How do the big boys get rid of most copper before casting into anode for the cell?
I started to think about it last week when I received 2 call from customer for over 60kg of silver scrap.
Thank You
