Refine Sterling Silver Faster Using Less Nitric Acid

In this experiment I demonstrate how you can refine sterling silver using about half as much nitric acid than your standard nitric boiling process. By refining half of your material with nitric acid, and then using that solution as an electrolyte, you can refine the remaining portion of metal by simple electrolysis with the use of an aspirator filter bottle. The final results proved that I was able to refine 954 grams of sterling silver using 40% less nitric acid. #4HM #sterling #silver 00:00-00:47 Experiment description 00:47-01:46 Preparing and weighing sterling silver for refining 01:46-03:42 Boiling sterling silver in nitric acid using addition funnel 03:42-05:46 Making electrolyte for our first experiment 05:46-08:14 Running a simple silver cell 08:14-15:27 Main experiment - Use less nitric acid to refine sterling silver and recover pure silver in the process YouTube and Patreon members get $200 off The 4 Horsemen Metal Refining System with discount code MEMBERSPLUS at checkout.
