I haven't been really happy with HCl for washing this powder since at least the Ag2O will create AgCl which adds additional steps. Dilluted H2SO4 might serve better since AgSO4 is soluble to some degree.
Still I think the H2O cell is pure recovery. For sterling it might work, it will add additional steps and you will probably be better off using straight conventional methods, if nitric isn't the problem for you.
Thank you. AG2O is I think exactly what I have here. Will probably just put it back for a bit. Have yet to experience H2SO4 and am a bit weary, but reading more about it.
I am still very limited,
