  • Hello all,
    I converted Silver Nitrate Solution to Silver Chloride to Silver Oxide to Silver Metal! Melted and Stamped!
    The conversion from Silver Nitrate to Silver Chlorides using HCL happens very quickly, almost instantaneously. The conversion from Chlorides to Silver Oxides a very dangerous thermal reaction using drain cleaner (Lye/Sodium Hydroxide creates heat when adding to the chlorides and H2O) It’s a dangerous (Skin Burning Eye Blinding) reaction which Requires PPE! However it is a fairly calm reaction to this point. The last conversion from Silver Oxides to Silver Metal is the most Dangerous reaction. It changes from a calm looking condition to a Thermal and Very Volatile Reaction Quickly and can Boil up and over your beaker!
    If you try this.. Please be careful and wear your gloves and safety glasses at a bare minimum!
    Stay safe and Golden my friends.
    Peace Prospector Tripp

      It’s a interesting and visually cool method to recover silver but it is fairly dangerous and takes many many rinses to get the base solution off the silver. I’ll stick with the simple method of placing copper in the solution and cementing the silver.
      Thanks Jason

    I read the video description. I was planning on doing that at the weekend, but now I'd rather not do it. Just kidding, Matt.
    Always stay protected, pal.
    I wish you a silver, golden weekend.

      Hello Peter, I hope you and your family are healthy, safe and doing well.
      I often think of you and all my friends around the world and hope everyone is well and safe. I’m trying to stay busy and not dwell on the daily news. It is a difficult time for everyone and my heart breaks for those who are in harm’s way.
      Peter, thanks for making me smile! 😃

      Hey Jason, you like my makeshift Torch Stand! Yahoo baby! Btw..
      It’s multi use.. 😃 holds my torch nicely and works well for a ebike stand too!
      Multi functional junk ☝️ 😂
      My local auction had a crazy amount of really nice Heavy Brass goodies. The auction place looked like the Ming Dynasty was selling there national treasure. 😂 I bid on around 25 different brass items with my usual $5 bid each. I only won one box of brass goodies, but it had about $25 dollars worth of brass in there. Score!
      Squeezing a nickel into a quarter ain’t as easy as it used to be.
      Thanks pal

      Got any shaped blob of metal.. okay that’s cool looking.. let’s stamp it! 🤪

    Very cool to watch PT . Where , if i might ask did the Silver nitrate solution at the beginning come from ? The silver coin at the end was a nice result and it is now officially personalized , which is a nice touch . much like an Autograph which will make it worth a lot more money , i'm sure . 👍 Nice job Matt ✅ . Cheers Nev . 👌✌

      Hello Ned, this silver nitrate solution was from the 7.5 gram Quartered Gold video a few days ago. I’ve wanted to show the dangerous boil reaction when adding the sugar. The first try didn’t show much, so I decided to use the remaining solution to hopefully show the reaction. It certainly did show the Heat reaction the second attempt.
      Success! 😂
      I never use this method, because dropping silver with copper works wonderfully to simply cement out the silver.
      Thank Nev,

      @@ProspectorTripp Ahh , so that's where it came from , sorry i'm a bit slow , lol . So you were just showing a different method to show the reaction . It's much the same as like a reaction from adding sugar to Sulfuric acid , iv'e seen how it erupts out of a beaker like a big black snake , lol . OK , Got it PT 👍✌

    Somebody's melting precious metals! Cool! You need to process some dore bar. Send me an address. It'll be fun watching you process it down.
    Gold and silver dore with a 40% au and 60%ag average composition.

    • @ProspectorTripp

      I’ve definitely thought about it before. If it’s 40% gold and 60% silver it’s almost inquarted already.
      Sounds fun!

    Can you see any practical benefit compared to cementation of the silver on copper?

    • @ProspectorTripp
      @ProspectorTripp  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hello Keith, IMHO no.. I find it difficult to rinse off the base metal solution from the chlorides and after conversion to metal, the Lye and Sugar again takes many hot H2O rinses. I can’t test the extreme purity unless I go to a shop and have it XRF’ed.
      For me it’s so much easier to use copper then boil rinse the Silver a couple times in H2O then if you want more pure, boil in HCL, then boil rinse in H2O a few times and it should be fairly high purity.
      As you well know.. if you’re looking for 999 purity you have to use a electrolytic silver refining process.
      I believe this Silver is 97~98%
      You got me thinking 🤔
      I will get this silver XRF’ed as well as some I Cemented with copper and HCL/H2O rinsed as stated above. Then we can compare the results and see if there is any real difference.
      Thanks again for sparking my thoughts Professor Bowden

    If copper can be recover from copper ore directly by sulfuric acid . when also this process is important ?? mean i get copper from copper rock by sulfuric 10% only. after the recover copper is this process is important ? 😮❤

    • @ProspectorTripp

      Not exactly sure what you mean?
      I use three buckets. Two for my acid stock pots and one for my waste solutions.
      I use the two buckets for directly pouring off refining solutions with copper pipe in these buckets. The acid solution will dissolve the copper and push precious metals out of the solution and remain in the bottom of the buckets. After the copper solution has pushed out the precious metals I pour this copper solution into my waste bucket which has iron in it. The iron will dissolve and cement out the copper.
      I then recover the copper and dispose of the iron waste solution at the county landfill where house hold acid waste is located.
      Please download CW Hoke pdf refining metals reference.
      It is Loaded with valuable information.
      Use all precautions with acids.. pretty dangerous stuff.
      Hope this helps
