How to separate and recover silver from copper
Thread Content
This post was last edited by FILTRATION-MAN on 2011-3-21 at 15:51. I have 2 tons of silver per month, which contains about 6% copper; it’s currently being sold as scrap. I want to recover the silver and copper separately, but I don’t know how to do it. Could someone give me some advice? Thank you in advance!
-- I use 2 tons per month of copper with a content of about 6%? What does that mean? --
Reply 2# FILTRATION-MAN: What is contained in the 6% version? You can contact me. 15173531588
Is it 94% silver and 6% copper? . . Is this silver jewelry? ? ? If it’s as mentioned above, I suggest you let it go and give up on those 6% CU. . . . Purifying silver and selling it yields a better price. . . .
If you want to recover both, wet methods are recommended; traditional processes will suffice. However, I agree with what was said above: by giving up copper and recycling silver, the price of electrolyzed silver is currently 10,000 yuan per kilogram. Even if it’s not possible to obtain silver at the price of standard electrolyzed silver, the income generated is still considerable! The little money earned from selling the recycled copper is truly a drop in the ocean! The price is for reference only.
Reply to 7# norchen: Actually, Haichuan is a forum focused mainly on technical exchanges, so it’s not very suitable for product recommendations! But as the saying goes, unintended actions can lead to good outcomes; Hai Chuan has provided me with a great deal of help, even though it might not have been what I wanted in the first place! But wish you success in your work!
Add nitric acid to dissolve everything, use copper to displace silver, and obtain copper through electrolysis.
