How do you dissolve silver from silver plated silverware?
I assume you are thinking of taking a bunch of old silver plated items, removing the silver and selling it as sterling. However, it's not feasible to do that. There are acids that will dissolve the silver, but all of them will also dissolve the copper or brass underneath the silver plate, so you will still have to send it to a refiner before you can sell it. The cost of the acid plus the cost of the refiner is approximately 42 times the value of the silver you would obtain, making it economically unfeasible to make a profit from removing the silver from silver plated items.
