Way to strip plated silver off copper 

+

I am looking for a system that doesn't involve cyanide, nitric acid or machining to strip plated silver off of copper, so that the copper can be reused and replated in needed. Thank you, Peter

I am looking for a solution to strip plated silver from copper powder (30~40 micrometer), so that the copper can be reused and replated in needed. Thank you, very much

Remember to develop this process in extremely small batches until you are familiar with it because conventional plating and stripping chemistry proceeds so rapidly on powder (because of it's tiny mass and huge surface area) that reactions can be virtually explosive.

Hi,

I would like to remove silver plating from copper and brass items and collect, I have seen these systems and can not find the manufacturer, do you know who produces this type of equipment.

Thanks,
Mike
