Hello,
I have approximately 300 kg silver plated scrap (3% silver on copper) from which I am planning on extracting silver. I have read several protocols and the H2SO4 /HNO3 (3 parts H2SO4 and 1 Part 68% HNO3) seems to help me strip the silver from the scrap really well. However, when I dilute the mixture immediately and add HCl or regular noniodized salt, I am not able to get any AgClprecipitate. Can someone please help me with this? What is the actual protocol? Is there an original thread on this where this is discussed in detail? Am I doing this correctly?
Looking forward to getting some suggestions from this awesome community.
Thanks
