Focus on metal refining and experiments you won’t find anywhere else. Some of the experiments include a novel approach to pouring metal shot in a recirculating system and a silver cell that allows you to refine 925 sterling silverware in one step!
Refine Sterling to 999 Pure Silver Bars Without Silver Cell
This experiment demonstrates how to refine #925 #sterling #silver using the wet process. You can achieve #999 pure silver by dissolving your impure silver in nitric acid and then precipitate silver chloride with the addition of hydrochloric acid. Then by converting your silver chloride into silver oxide, and then silver metal, the byproducts are not wasted. They can be reused in many household chemicals and laboratory reagents.
XRF test results are included showing 999 purity.

You could also use this cathode system to separate out platinum group metals from gold and silver.
Thanks for the tip! I'll be doing some research into that.
I like your setup! I'm curious why you didn't use impure silver shot to grow your pure silver crystals?
Thanks, sometimes I do use shot but I found that melting your silver into an anode bar is faster to dissolve in the cell.
Finally a good video on melting silver and silver plate. New sub to you. Are you using a centrifuge tot separate? Great step by step process.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
Thanks for the compliment and the sub! I don't own a centerfuge, yet...
The butter knife handles are usually much higher silver content if not all
Awesome video! You inspired me and now I'm waiting for the Nitric Acid. Everything else is ready; but my setup is much smaller then yours. Lol. Just got my replacement Kaowool. Not going to dilute the rigidizer this time...I read that pre-coating the wool with a light spray of distilled water can help it soak in the rigidizer thoroughly. Wondering if I should use a refractory cement afterward?
@@nickitoff9629 Thanks Nick! I had the same question and I never answered it. I used my kaowool straight out the box for about 2 years and it’s holding up to the heat just fine. But it doesn’t do well if you bump into it a lot like the lid on my little furnace got manhandled and it had to be replaced sooner than I thought. Let me know how yours works?
@sreetips
Reach out to Dan Hurd. He could surely give you some pointers on how to approach this. All the best to you and family.
Thanks for the response. I may just do that. God Bless!
Sir, how much silver can be obtained in one kilo of silver chloride?
752.61 g of ag in 1kg of agcl
Great tutorial! I've been trying to avoid the heavy duty acids but I think your video has made me realize it's the best way. Thank you for sharing!
@@nickitoff9629 Thanks! Using acid is intimidating at first, but it’s just like any tool. Use safety techniques and let er rip!
Nice job, chevron salt? What are you going to do with it
Very nice 👍
Cool, the only unfortunate part is dealing with all the leftover waste products.
I found the best and easiest way to get pure silver is to dissolve 925 in nitric then add copped to cement out the silver rinse and boil in hcl if you have washed it enough in water and hcl you will get 999
Why is the NaOH solution grey? Is that from iron particles? If you got rooto brand at Ace hardware it would be clear.
That is Rooto brand from Ace. Yes it's iron.
@@anthonythomasfmg I never have had iron particles in my rooto lye.
Look how funny life works. I’m in the process of getting silver out of solution with copper and low and behold your video pops up first thing.😂😂
Amen brother!
Gosh, you make things so complicatwed. Just att 1 equiv Soda ash, and melt. Presto, pure shiny silver metal. No aqueous reduction needed. The soda ash provudes flux for melting, all easily water soluble, no borax glass that won't rinse cleanly. Why do you think you need to reduce it first? Silver oxide is not stable at melting point, I just dry the chloride, add sodaash, put in crucible, melt. Why make things more comnplex than needed?
The stories that hot plate could tell 😂
Keeping the flame on during and after the pour is essential for getting a mirror finish and to see the crystal specs in the metal 😁
Absolutely! Thanks so much!
👍🏻
Have you considered teflon tape on the joints
I do use teflon tape sometimes. Good point. Thanks for the comment!
I really like your water sluice for cooling down your metal...very clever!
It's great to have a place where you can do what you love. The lab is my dream. I don't know why RUclips recommended your video to me, but I'm glad it did. You have good knowledge, it feels like you know and understand what you're doing. Great video 👌🙂
You can rebuild the garage into a laboratory :)

Apologies that i cannot do the survey and what great blessings you now have - you already know what you have to do - wait for the good creator to show you the next part of your journey with the greatest of blessings and love ...........
Like I said in the video, it isn't about what I do, it's about what you do! What I did is already done. God Bless!
Very informative and to the point thank you awesome job god bless
This is in michigan?
Wisconsin
For a poor guy , just starting out , this looks to be the best way to get silver to start this whole process . Thank you
Thank you for the content and knowledge. The aspirator bottleIs,is that a 1000ml with 20/40 fittings?Is your SS plate 316 L grade?Thank you.
Never be ashamed to speak Truth. Do not be anxious for what must & will happen. I’ve read the Bible, we already know how it plays out in the end. Shine your light like a city on a hill. First time ever stumbling on your videos & this caught my eye afterwards. God Bless.

Thank you
Is there any risks/mistakes that can make some gold dissapear in the solution like boiling it for too many hours/ being sloppy ?
Not really, be sure to use enough SMB and be sure to collect all of your waste and let it settle for a few days after you refining. All of the gold will precipitate. If you are ever in serious doubt add iron to your solution and everything will drop out and you can start over.
Any particular reason not to just melt the silver right in the mold?
@@Hiker541 Hello, yes there is. Crucible’s are made to collect the heat where as a mold is usually made of graphite and is made to disperse the heat. Plus the volume of material needs to be melted first so it would fit in the mold. Thanks for the question. Hope this helps, God bless.
I am new to recovering any precious other than physically or by melting. I wanted to process some silver plated screws in a saltwater cell. Safe easy and suited for a beginner. My question would be this: I have silver plated screws 1/4”long x 1/8” thick! Could I use a stainless mesh ladle for anode? Process is by the ladle and just shake the ladle in a rinse pot then repeat?
@@hillbillycatfishin5860 Stainless will break down and contaminate your silver. You would have to use titanium, ruthenium, or platinum anode basket. There are some pretty cheap ones out there, $40ish. Look at pool cleaning suppliers online, some carry the mesh anodes that would be good for a basket.
I have silver plated screws 1/4”long x 1/8” thick! Could I use a stainless mesh ladle for anode? Process is by the ladle and just shake the ladle in a rinse pot then repeat?
The salt water solution is what I would prefer trying! Does the amperage matter?
I am also a carpenter getting into refining from ewaste. Your videos are extremely informative and I thank you. I am currently converting my old CNC room into a lab .
Save your self alot of time by using excess silver when making solution. You can skip all that waiting and measuring.. 1ml 70 percent nitric with 1-2ml distilled water dissolves 1 gram of silver. The more water used the less nitrogen dioxide outgassed = less wasted nitric. Make sure silver is leftover when finished digesting. Filter, then boil down to desired concentration.
Praise god brother! Keep up the good work. Quick question to anyone who sees this. Is there an optimal, reasonably safe voltage and amperage to use for electrolysis. I dont have a dedicated power supply but pleny of transformers.
This is a nugget of refining knowledge. Thanks for sharing.
How is that fish tank holding up?are you having any problems with it coming apart?
You can roll a stamp over the cooling melt in your cast to not have to hammer stamps into the bar before watercooling
You don't need to use borax, as you see other youtubers sprinkle on top of the melt? Because your crystals are cleaner than their cement?
Do you ever experience mercury contaminants with anything you "melt" down?
Your way looks promising. Better than Sree I guess. no pun intended for him, as he probably is very knowledgeable guy too
I have a question if one was trying to recover say 56 percent silver stuck to stainless would these cells work ?
Are the copper nodules formed at 10:39 solid 🤔 enough to take a polish or more 🧽 sponge like material?
The ones in the video were solid copper and would shine right up.
This is gold ! Now, I don’t have a hood, however, I can leave the solution outside in the scorching sun. Could that work? Any idea how long to leave it there ?
When did you nuetralize the nitric and what did you use?
Can somone tell me what liquids a being used. Is it aqua reige
@@johnmedlin7597 I use silver nitrate in the silver cells and copper sulfate in the copper cells. Silver nitrate is 175g / L. The copper sulfate is generated as a byproduct of the silver refining.
What exactly are the liquids in the 4 horseman?
