Silver chloride was precipitated by HCl addition to silver nitrate solution.
AgCl is washed, lye and sugar are added. Silver is washed and dried.

    Хлорид серебра растворяется в растворе тиосульфата натрия или в аммиаке. Затем раствор фильтруют и добавляется горячий проявитель (сульфит натрия, метод,гидрофенол и карбонат натрия или любая щелочь) серебро восстанавливается мгновенно.

    What a mess. Next time just add equal parts AgCl to Wheat Flour and 20% borax and 1 oz. lead metal as low temp. collector and smelt at 2000 F. for 60 minutes pour into cone mold, remove bead from bottom of slag and cupel away lead. PURE SILVER BEAD.
  • Ok so I have this waste from my purple ceramic CPUs, and I was told it held silver chloride. Or was it oxcide? I need help with the process.

    Hello my friend, I need to know, when cleaning silver chloride, do you add bleach to it and start adding caustic soda and then sugar?
  • What is more efficient? This method or cementing silver using copper? Thanks sir

    If gold and silver were precipitated together, and I want them to be together,,, is it ok to use lye-sugar method while gold is still there?

    I added sodium hydroxide, turning the color of silver chloride into brown, and then I added sugar, it turned gray, collected silver and rinsed it with water. After this, I added it to 100 grams and cast it, and the alloy became 80 grams. Is this natural deficiency, is there a problem?

    Is this way you get a pure silver? Are there other ways to convert silver chloride into puer silver?
