      @@Hill-13 I can only do this stuff in the summer outdoors and here in Canada it’s hard to get the right acids to do most of this stuff as you need a license to buy nitric acid even the nitrates are hard to get nowadays! I just stack all my silver and gold scrap up and try to recover as much as I can in summer but I haven’t been able to refine yet I’m thinking it’s worth it to send it out to be refined and give some of it as payment to cover costs! Either way I love watching the content and learning about it!

    Is it better to run the anode as a bar? Could shot be used?
    I'm going to recover some silver from plated relay legs and I'm wondering if I could run them as is

    • @Hill-13
      @Hill-13  Месяц назад

      Bars are better it takes longer to clog the anode bag allowing a longer run time

    Great video brother, I’d love to get in to gold and silver recovery but to many chemicals involved for me.

    Nice setup. Reminds me of sreetips silvercell. How's the deposit? Solid or crumbly?
    Please try to use gloves, if only to show viewers safe practice with toxic metal salts.

      The deposit are solid not crumbly current and voltage low
      .2-.4 A / 1.2 V
      Really busted on the gloves, Two boxes of gloves on order
      Thanks

      I thought you said 4 v and 1 amp. I'll have to go back and listen again. Also, do you have any the ratio of Copper sulfate to water. (x grams per liter) on your initial electrolyte?

      Thanks for subscribing Michael . I think the crystal are tighter with lower V and A.
      Run the cell with 1.5-5 volts and less than 1 Amp . You can run higher but the crystals get loose and crumbly .
      Check out gold refining forum when you have a chance .

      @@Hill-13 I have done that. I guess I should search there for the amount of Copper sulfate to water on the electrolyte. I may even go with Copper nitrate from a future silver drop. Thanks.

    Great video, with plate material do the tin lead and other co metals hang out in the slimes as well? Or do all metals higher on the reactivity series pass to the copper anode? Or do they exchange with the copper electrolyte plating out the copper and making a stanous sulfate solution?

    • @Hill-13
      @Hill-13  Год назад

      Lead and tin would remain in solution as sulphates not precipitate out.
      Ion exchange is copper ion and hydrogen ions
      Any PMG will cement out on the copper cathode

    Good morning. What is your CuSO4 solution concentration in your first electrolytic cell where you are separating your copper from the alloy? You had mentioned a small amount of H2SO4 and in what concentration was added?

    • @Hill-13
      @Hill-13  11 месяцев назад +1

      I do 10-20 ml of HSO4 / 1L of CuHSO4 , and try to maintain a pH of 1-2 in the solution .

    Michael my apologies ,
    Heat distilled water ( the amount needed for your project ) then put your copper sulphate crystals in . I like to super saturate it . Dont forget to add sulphuric acid 25-30 ml/ L to start off .
