    It would seem the trick is to stop it before the iron starts to deposit and collect the slimes.

The analytical ones are too weak.

      This is a combination of novelty and collecting the PMG from my stock pot . The anode don’t have that much iron so I’m hoping that the is in form of hydroxides and stays in solution .

    I have a question maybe you can answer. When using Sulfamic acid to denox. Will boiling after precipitation to get the gold to come together boil off the Sulfamic and let the nitric reconstitute and in turn dissolve the values again? Something like that happened twice yesterday with a project I have going. I split the project into 2 and repeated the process and just did not boil as long which worked. I do appreciate your work.

    Silverstoll used to call the end result a silver dragon. Probably not the real name for the cell but does sound cool. Lol I have seen a lot of people use the method with a copper cell. You have an email I will send you pictures for clarification. I need to harvest it. Started with a 400g anode. Hard to estimate yield.

    Nice haul! I have a cell going right now. I guess you would call it a dragon setup. I was hoping I could post a picture. Anyway. I enjoy your videos, I’m going to have to go back and watch more. I have seen your name on Silverstolls channel. I appreciate the content.

      Thanks 223 gram bar hoping to get 200 grams of crystal . Didn’t have enough distilled water to start the copper cell tonight , so I switched up and we are going to use up this electrolyte.
