I'm currently looking to find an alternative way for removing silver, from
copper.
During an industrial metallizing process, some copper-targets gradually
become silver filled. In one way or another we have to clean those targets
every second day, so that they doesn't block up.
Currently those are sandblasted, but as the targets are rather expensive it
would be nice to avoid the sandblasting (as the copper it self is
sandblasted too).
Is there any way to strip off or deplate the silver, without damaging the
copper?
