When using Nitric acid to disolve and copper to precipitate out the silver, what % of the pure silver available can one expect to recover?

If you are doing everything correctly, you should be recovering everything you dissolve into solution, including the silver.

Crud - as in unusual dark brown or black looking gritty stuff. I notice some small pieces weren't melting in the silver pool. After I put in Borax they turned to small pieces of rusty looking 'crud'. That's why I thought they were probably small pieces of steel. On hindsight, I could have probably picked them out if I would have had a pair of tweezers. They were not weighted pieces. One piece was a broach that probably had a steel pin on the back.etack said:What does crud mean? could it have been filled or weighted? do you have a lot of it?
