how to easily grow silver crystals at home

I'm going to make an electrolyte without dissolving silver in nitric acid, I'm going to use this electrolyte to show you how to grow silver crystals at home. I'll also show you a new way to melt precious metals in a microwave.

Hi i don’t understand ar u making more silver or u just make it 999 trug this process? Like could u make a living whit this ?

[@3-2preciousmetalrecycling]

The process is refining the silver to make it 99.999 fine. The process removes all the impurities so that you are left with just pure silver. Precious metal refiners do make a living doing this they either charge a fee for the process or take a percentage of the metal depending on the arrangement with their customer.

For instance, jewelers have their scrap metals, off cuts, and mistake pieces refined. They need to know what karat their metals are to ensure purity when they sell their piece. Too much solder, for instance, can lower the purity and make the metal softer so they can't just melt all their scrap together and roll out a new sheet. Refining takes out all the solder, copper, and other impurities so that the fine metal can be mixed again to get the desired karat

How much did the solution cost? Is this profitable?

[@3-2preciousmetalrecycling]

Silver nitrate crystals for me cost about as much as buying silver and nitric acid and dissolving the silver. But my country doesn't allow me to purchase nitric acid, so it's invaluable if I want to make silver crystals. I would otherwise first have to spend a couple of hours making the acid then a couple of hours dissolving silver, in-between allowing the electrolyte to cool down I would lose a whole day just making electrolyte.

I also recover the silver from the electrolyte once it becomes over contaminated with copper

Hello mate this is very interesting. This process doesnt actually grow silver ie make more than it eats on the anode? Or is there a return x amount of electrode eaten is multiplied by a factor of y?

[@3-2preciousmetalrecycling]

Hi. It doesn't make more than it takes from the anode. The process is used to purify the silver in the anode by removing impurities. Copper impurities will trade places with silver in the electrolyte, and platinum group metals or gold particles will be trapped in the filter. Thanks for watching
