Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent and can react with many metals. When nitric acid is used on a mixture of metals, metals less noble than silver (such as iron, copper, zinc) will oxidize and dissolve as ionized salts, while silver, which is more noble, does not react as strongly and can thus be separated.

Can't see how they make a profit. I know labor is cheap, but Oxy acetylene, propane, and nitric acid are not. If they got the compressors for free and the labor for free, it still doesn't look like they would be in the black. Those 5 silver bars look like about 10 troy ozs each, at 300$ per bar...provided those five were the output for the day, their neting about 1500$ in silver. Very thin margin.

[@newsweathertraffic18]

Silver is more of a byproduct of the operation - not the main income source. If you click on the the uploaders channel you'll see they used the same footage in a video about recycling copper since the motors inside the compressors contain 1.5 to 5lbs of copper each. I've also heard of these things getting flushed, refilled with oil and sold as "remanufactured" compressors for ACs and fridges.
