    What is silver eleco_refining, did you mean electro-refining.

    Ammens book, Refining Precious Metals has a complete section on electro-refining gold and silver.

    Also this topic has been covered in great detail over at the gold forum.

    Silver from plated material can be removed with hot concentrated sulfuric acid, nasty, nasty stuff.

    Sulfuric acid seeks out water, since the human body is mostly water any contact with hot or cold sulfuric acid cause severe burns as the acid seeks out the moisture in your body.



    Best to sell your silver plated stuff and stay safe.
