I started to process my 200 L stock pot, collected since couple months ago.
The precipitate is white-gray color with NaOH/Sugar test for small sample I noticed that the precipitate contains silver chloride but also I think it contains lead and other metals salts.
My question is, if I incinerate the residue of the stockpot, what will happen to the silver chloride? Will it convert to silver oxide? If yes does silver oxide dissolve in nitric acid to form silver nitrate?
Or I have to use NaOH/Sugar to whole stockpot residue then incinerate and start the refining process?
I thought about using ammonia hydroxide,but I think it will be not a good idea because I don't have idea about other white-gray salts exist in the residue.
