We have just made some metallic silver from scrap, approx. 250g with a ~99,99% purity.
It was melted in a ceramic crucible with an oxygene/methane torch, under circa 1h. The silver was liquified under a layer of borax (it prevents the oxidation of the molten silver).
After all have melted we just dropped it in a bucket of water and took out this shiny lump of this beautiful metal.
Should I write it down of you know it? Chemistry is AWESOME!
