⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Nice pivot and progress capture.






But please please please consider making a temp backsplash for your filter station area for the DMG precipitates 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 that was the only anxiety inducing part of the video for me.

Tutorials on how to clean up walls and windows from chemical splash damage are not fun to watch nor the type of content you probably want to have to make 😅😉

It looks like the majority of your anode slimes (the gray power after removing the silver shot) was cement silver. So I'm wondering where it all came from.

Your silver starts as shot with no power. It dissolves in the electrolyte when oxidized by the current. Most of it travels to the cathode bowl, but why is so much precipitating out in the anode basket? What could be reducing it there at the same electrode where it oxidized?

My guess is that it's the copper impurity in your silver shot. We might expect all the copper to be oxidized by the electric current along with the silver. but as each copper atom is exposed (as the around it dissolves) there is a chance it will be oxidized by Ag+ ions, creating cement silver.

So it would be worthwhile to reduce the copper content of your silver shot. Obviously, the Cu comes from the CuNO3 solution that the silver cements out of. Now CuNO3 is super soluble in water, and you wash the cement silver with boiling water. But it still contains some copper because we see the electrolyte turn blue.

The human eye is not very sensitive to blue. Maybe rinsing until you can't see the blue tint isn't good enough. In a research lab you would use optical spectroscopy to verify the last rinse is clear. You could do something like that in your home lab, with just a white light, a photocell, and a volt meter. By comparing clean water to your rinse water you should measure less voltage from the photocell when there's copper in solution. It might be even easier to detect the copper ions fro the conductivity of the water. Pure distilled water doesn't conduct at all well, and any ions in solution will increase the conductivity immensely.

Second, I would suggest boiling your cement silver in distilled water after rinsing (just like you do with your gold precipitate).

And third, I suggest your rinse the silver with ammonia. If some of the CuNO3 is stuck to the silver surface the ammonia should release it.

Man.. that Palladium/Silver solution gave me second hand anxiety.. but now I'm excited more than ever for the next episode. Seeing you problem solve on the fly is great content. The "main prize" is probably going to take a week to filter.. 10 hours in and you're not even at the bottom where all the material has settled. See you next week I guess haha...

This series is going to be challenging.

@sreetips is it possible to pour less in the filter or divide it into two filters so it filters faster? Just curious

@sreetips that's good for your fans. Kevin doing easy stuff is not as much fun as Kevin doing difficult stuff

Sure will be interesting to see your next step. The cementing out of silver with copper always looks so neat. 👍

You are spoiling us with so many videos, thank you! Learning so much

I've been wanting to see this phase of the process for some time---recovering the ugly silver from the anode baskets. It's clearly not easy. I don't recall your having covered this phase before. And it also should be said that it reduces your silver yield, or said differently, ties up silver from your gross yield. I wonder if there is a melting solution to this issue. I have not checked the melting point of Pd or Pt nitrates, but Pd and Pt metals melt much, much higher than silver. In my estimation, unless you see some big problem with it, it would be worth it to take two anode baskets full of that ugly stuff and cornflake it.

I really like how you keep your cool and think about how to correct the problem as opposed to just stopping.

Good evening Sreetips,

Oh the calamity in refining precious metals. That's what makes this hobby fun and challenging at times. Great content. Fun to follow along. Stay safe bud.

Ryan Henderson

Love your videos, especially when you get outside your comfort zone! Just curious, is smelting a viable first step in this filter refinement process?
