This is a topic that belongs on the gold forum where the experts can baby sit you from doing something foolish.
If you want to make a silver electrolytic solution, you have to dissolve both copper and silver. And so much silver that it can be expensive. Imagine dissolving 250 ounces of silver and 50 ounces of copper into a vat of acid, then using a rectifier at around 300 amps, at 4.5 volts in order to be able to refine 600+ ounces of silver a day.
No if I were you, I wouldn't even entertain the idea of starting with refining silver, no way. Gold is far easier. And you shouldn't be asking those questions here. All the processes to refine precious metals can be incredibly dangerous. You have a lot of work to do before you even attempt to start refining anything, and even before silver, you should learn how to refine gold. Gold is the easiest in my opinion.
If you want the Hoke book on refining precious metals, message me. I have a brand spanking new one I will sell to you for $99.00. If you go to the Gold Refining Forum, everyone is going to tell you to read Hoke before attempting anything.
