Rinse the silver with pure water, place it in the reaction kettle, add an appropriate amount of deionized water, raise it to the specified temperature, and gradually add nitric acid. In the reaction kettle, silver reacts with nitric acid to generate silver nitrate. When the reaction between nitric acid and silver is completed, the temperature is raised to drive out excess nitric acid, silver oxide is added to adjust the pH value, and an appropriate amount of deionized water is added to adjust the specific gravity of the silver nitrate solution. Other metal ions in the solution undergo hydrolysis reactions with water to form water-insoluble hydroxide precipitates. After filtration, the filtered silver nitrate solution enters the evaporation equipment to be concentrated, evaporated, crystallized, and dried into finished silver nitrate. The silver oxidation reaction equation is as follows: Ag+2HNO3 (concentrated) =AgNO3+NO2↑+H2O↑; 3Ag+4HNO3 (dilute)=3AgNO3+NO↑+2H2O.
