OK need some help of doing the right thing
friend of mine give me 2l of green copper saturated solution after dissolving silver plated spoons and forks he gave up on recovering silver using HCL there is a amount of silver flakes at the bottom of a coffee pot, solution is green but he added handful of urea in this mixture (someone told him) to do this
i have search and cannot find any references on CUCL2 + NH2CONH2 reaction (as a bad thing happening)
question is should i try to save this silver or just dispose this mixture (safely)
what would be safest way of neutralizing and disposal i do have chemical disposal drum available
anyone to advise on this appreciated
