A complete Silver Refining process is shown step by step, how to refine this Precious Metal using the Silver Chloride (AgCl) method.

The Recovery and Refining of Precious Metals in general, and Silver specifically, hasn't changed much over the years. Despite that fact, it seems there's still a shortage of reliable and high-quality free information about the art of precious metals refining.
I hope that using this process will benefit each and everyone who's watching. Making their lives just a little bit better.

    great material for PMC; before the final melt, that powdered Silver is perfect to mix with organic binders and free cast to shape in a temperature controlled kiln :)

    Thank you! I used your method today, and got it down to metallic silver. Your steps outlined helped me immensely…and it’s an inexpensive method too. Now, I just need to learn how to smelt it into a shiny bar, and find someone to sell it to πŸ˜„πŸ‘
  • Good, dlear and simple vid. Well cone. I have managed to get close to 5 nines pure with this method but it took another 10 washes at each stage!
  • @sharkscrapper
    Very cool. I wish I had time to experiment with refining and melting. Not complaining, I'm having a blast running my little scrapping biz, but there are so many directions one can take in this area. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great vids.
  • Hi teacher, please help me. I have some stone containing silver sulfide. What materials should I use to dissolve it and with what materials should I deposit it? In what acid does silver sulfide dissolve?
  • Thank you , this was very helpful. How would you suggest going about refining silver contacts that are attached to a small amount of copper and tungsten?
