    I see a lot of people use those "bent to broken" copper pipes to pull silver out.
    But remember, the solution reacts with BOTH sides of the pipe, outside and inside.
    The precipitated silver falls off of the outside of the pipe, but when it falls off of the inside of the pipes, it can get trapped in the pinched off ends.
    I usually bend to break the pipe, then take a hammer to the pinched ends to open them up a little so the precipitated silver on the inside of the pipes will fall out.

    How did you get all the silver out of the inside of the pipes? You put in copper pipes with the ends nearly pinched off, so any silver nitrate that got into the pipes cemented out and became stuck inside the pipe. Using a pipe cutter to cut the pipes is preferable to just bending the pipes until they break.

    When the silver comes out of solution and covers the copper it can stall the reaction. The silver coating will block the silver nitrate from getting to the copper and prevents further silver from cementing out. Instead of pulling out the remaining copper, filtering it and moving on I would have shaken the copper pieces periodically to expose the bare copper and allowed more silver to cement out. I’m pretty sure you didn’t get all of the silver out of solution.

    @MadScientist267 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Whatever that cloud was in your original solution ended up in your silver. My guess is AgCl.
    Settle it out and decant if it won't clear up with Nitric. No additional HCl as silver chloride isn't soluble and the silver needs to be in solution for cementing to work.
    Once you've got it clear, *then* do the drop and your dropped silver will be fairly pure after wash. If you want more pure than that, you'll need to involve electrolysis (silver cell).
    Same applies for copper, except you can acidify copper solutions with HCl since CuCl2 is soluble.
    If you're *into* electrolysis, copper is easy to recover if the heavier metals are gone first. Using a special type of electrolysis (electrowinning), where a carbon rod serves as the posode, the solution is "driven clean" and all of the copper is deposited out on the cathode for harvest. Low and slow, nice clean take.
    You can do this with silver as well but slow is key if copper is present. It will also want to go to the cathode with the silver but if the power is set up right, it can still separate them. With copper it can go quicker generally speaking. The metals "above" hydrogen will tend to take higher voltages to come out, so careful selection for the target metal is still useful, but in general hydrogen will be evolved preferentially from solution so many of them will stay in solution. EW is fun to mess with.
    TLDR; Either way you only want to drop/run in clear solutions or you're somewhat wasting your time.
    I'd acidify if there's any question, and let it that starting solution settle, decant it and then cement the silver. Filter off the silver, settle solution if needed (or acidify with a little heat, should only be silver metal in suspension now), and electrowin the copper out. If the voltage and current limits are set appropriately, you will have copper plating/crystal growth on the negode and all the metals above hydrogen in solution.

      I use a medium grade filter to filter my silver nitrate solution and it is blue a crystal clear. I make sure there is some unreacted silver left or add some sterling silver to make sure the nitric acid is consumed. I use copper pipes and wash out the center of the pipe. Works well for me.

    • @MadScientist267
      @MadScientist267 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@jamescball55Just now saw this... lol 🤦‍♂️
      It works and it's very selective, so yes there's that (you're not going to "get copper out of copper" in other words, only the metals below it in the series.
      The key benefit with electrowinning is you don't involve yet another metal when you are going after the one you want. With displacement, you always end up with a metal in solution, and depending on your choices, can end up with difficult to dispose waste.
      Winning gets around this by driving the metals out of solution, selectively with potential control, and at the correct rate (current) for the type of deposit desired.
      If you use copper as the workhorse metal for going after gold, you can get both back selectively and end up with only the reconstituted acidic solution made up of what they were processed with. This can easily be neutralized with sodium carbonate to drop the traces of other metals out of solution and leave a medley of sodium salts which are simple to dispose of. That's assuming you don't want to also recycle the acids.

    hello,
    i have a suggestion of a process that you can do that will make it so you can recover the nitric acid and the copper with sulfuric acid,
    it is in a video by NurdRage on youtube that explains how to recover both the copper metal and the nitric acid,
    the down side is that you will need a distilling apparatus and a electrolysing cell(lab power supply),
    the video name is "Efficiently Recover Nitric Acid and Copper Metal From Copper Nitrate Wastes" by NurdRage,
    this will reduce the amount of waste solution you have.

      Silver usually just comes as a percentage of purity. Like 92.5 is 92.5 percent pure silver. Anything at this percent and above is considered sterling silver. They do not use karats like gold however it is essentially the same thing since 18k gold is just a way to say 75% pure gold.

    What if skip the copper and just put iron in there, will that drop out both silver and copper together?

    • @MadScientist267
      @MadScientist267 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes. The reason they are "stepped" in this process is to isolate them. Falling out, gold will replace silver, silver will replace copper, copper will replace iron... sodium will make all of them fall out at once.
      By stepping up one at a time the solution gets swept for the target metal and each step extracts only one element at a time.
      There's a better way (in more than one sense) to recover copper that's been used to drop gold... "electrowinning". This directly drives the metals out of solution and can be selective or cover a span (depends on voltage). With the current set correctly for the cathode, you can get a nice pure deposition of the target metal, ready to be "turned around" in a new cell for further purification if needed or desired.
      And the waste stream can be made "very compatible". No difficult lingering metals in solution to deal with. Iron isn't the worst but...... those are also materials that don't need to be consumed by the process each run either.

    If I could pick your brain for a second.
    I have a bottle of solution that is a dark blue.
    I started originally trying to recover some precious metals from e-waste. I had in a glass jar that ended up breaking and at that point the solution had solidified and everything was encased in a mud of sort of chalky goo plaster.
    Then the jar broke at some point and I swept everything up put into a aluminum metal coffee can and kind of put in the closet and forgot about it.
    Fast-forward two years to current current time.
    I have rehydrated the material from computer chips cell phone pieces and other miscellaneous contact points.
    Today I have a bottle of the blue solution like I said with (3) different colored layers in it.
    There's
    1. whitish grayish layer thickest layer
    2. Cooper colored layer 1/3 size thickness of layer 1.
    3. Golden tinted layer 1/3 size as layer 1.
    I know I said three layers but I really don't consider this one a layer more of a film, but by All rights we could call it a layer for. When viewing the bottle from the side which is a clear one gallon water jug.
    I can visually see three sedimentary layers three lines of division of the material.
    4. Is a thin golden colored film layer.
    What could they veer?
    I never incorporated or introduced any metal pieces bars bolts or pipe to the solution is not set in direct sunlight but it is on the balcony Nevada desert shade but it still gets hot I guess I keep the bottle closed and sealed with a cap but the layers have settled out at the bottom if I decant the liquid and end up with just the granule is at the bottom. How would I go about trying to figure out what they are or could I do something to help simplify the process I don't have access to strong chemicals the solution itself with vinegar peroxide and salt I think and there was a small handful of E-Waste I have accumulated to just do a test run and would love to know what to do so I can process the rest any help would be appreciated thank you
