Hi
I want to precipitate my silver as silver chloride from silver nitrate solution. Yes I know cementation is better but I must use chloride method. ( Because I have Mercury in my solution and I want to get silver without it )
In my process I can not estimate how much silver is in silver nitrate solution. So according to below table I will loss significant silver

Yes I can drop a copper bar in solution after separating silver chloride but I can not do this too ( Because Mercury will cement with silver)
Is there a way to recovery all of silver as silver chloride with my conditions ? For example use HCl or KCl instead of NaCl
I need something to add 30% excess of stoichiometric to solution and recovery of above 99% of silver.
