Experimental Silver Cell

See the inner workings of an electrolytic silver cell. The unique design of this cell allows you to see the ion transfer as it leaves the anode bottle and plates out in fascinating style as pure silver crystals. This method of electro refining (when repeated) can produce the highest purity silver, equaling or exceeding 999 fine.

To create the electrolyte, I dissolved 10 oz of pure silver coins. I pour the electrolyte into a 5 L beaker, but it’s the aspirator bottle that steals the show. The aspirator bottle can be tricky to find but does exist. The hard part is finding a bottle that has a 24/40 opening. When the bottle is used as an anode basket, the entire cell becomes see through and allows you to view things never before seen on YouTube. The only thing that blocks your view is the stainless steel cathode that collects all of the pure silver crystals.

The video, Refining Sterling Silver – The Best Way, including cleaning out the silver cell will be out this Friday.
