  • In this video, I attempt to recover the dissolved silver in solution by using HCL (Hydrochloric Acid) to precipitate out silver in the form of silver chloride.

    My chemistry professor in High School, in 1978, found A few film developing companies that would give him the silver nitrate they were discarding after use. If I remember correctly, all we did was put it in a beaker and put a 1 in. flat piece of copper suspended into it and left it for a few days. The copper attracted the silver and made silver strands. it was cool and then just scraped the silver from the copper. He said it was pure silver

      Ok you need to wash the white silver chloride many times until water is clean and colorless.
      Then use NaOH to convert the chloride to silver oxide… once it’s all turned black as midnight then rinse and wash then add sugar until silver oxide converts to silver metal wash and melt

      No, silver oxide was produced by adding NaOH to the Silver chloride, that converts it to silver oxide and needs to be further processed to metallic silver with sugar additions it’s at the end of the video. Then you melt it
