Please I need your advise/help!

I'm not entirely sure this is true.
Anyway it is not neccessary to use AR on foils.
HCl and any of the oxidizers Bleach, Peroxide or Chlorine will do.
And that without the issues if exess Nitric.

I’m a fan of bleach and HCl

Im not too fond of that.
I prefer Peroxide or pool Chlorine since they do not impact pH too much.

What strength peroxide do you use ?

I had some 30% but that is out now hence pool chlorine.

Stabilized or Unstablized Chlorine ?

Stabilized or Unstablized Chlorine ?

It is based on Cyanuric acid not Hypochlorite so it's in powder form.

I never do the scrap the way you are discussing or even on that scale but from a strictly chemical perspective less additives is better. So my vote would be unstabilized. Because any stabilizers are additives and we want just the chlorine!

Anyway I guess Calcium hypochlorite could be used if it is disdolved and filtered in a side reaction.
But I do not like to add more solids than needed and it is still an alkali so it will push the pH up.

I use regular household bleach ( sodium hypochlorite ) and HCl I had used HCl and perioxide on my last run .
I thought there was a better product to use concerning the Bleach and HCl. I have seen the pool bleach container at Home Depot that why I asked to see if one was better than the other . ( Honestly I’m a little cheap every penny I can save goes to refining supplies or material ) one important lesson learned was , how high the pH was and how it affected the SMB drops . Still working on things and always appreciative

Personally I stay away from the Hypochlorite since it is stabilized at high pH by usually Sodium Hydroxide.
