Hi all...found some great info regarding a method for converting silver chloride to silver metal...I get the 1 part dry AgCl-to-2 parts NaOH in aqueous solution...
question 1) is: for each kg. AgCl, what volume of H2O would work best to dissolve my NaOH pellets in, before adding the AgCl?...
question 2): does the entire process, through and including the dextrose (sugar) addition, require constant stirring?...
question 3): after completing the reaction, what volume and temperature of "hot" water should be used for pre-filtration "washing"...
and finally, question4): do I need a specific pore size filter paper to recover the "cemented" silver or will one or more coffee filters suffice?...
Thanks in advance and positive vibes to all who provide assistance to this humble novice silver refiner...look forward to hearing from you...best wishes...mojojtp (Jerry)
