Forgot to tell y'all he said he had massive reaction when adding the SMB i guess that suggest the Nitric was not neutralized?

Steve

You can't make that assumption because SMB reacts in acidic conditions. Could you define a massive reaction for me please? Do you mean lots of frothing or do you mean lots of precipitation?
 
One question leaps to mind after 4metals asked if the scrap was melted together, is there any undissolved metals in the bottom of the beaker or mixed in with the silver chloride?
 
That is why I asked if it was melted together before processing. The fact that there were stones was not mentioned. When doing stone removal it is unlikely that all of the pieces have the same % silver. Usually a few pieces get coated up with chlorides and trap undissolved gold. But many facts in this thread were mis stated. Did everything dissolve? Impossible if there was silver.

If we had accurate facts this thread would be done and all of the values would have been recovered already. But if we don't get the proper information what we say becomes pointless.

Maybe the OP would care to start over, or better yet, let his friend tell the story.
