Fantastic, then to experiment with sulfuric acid somewhere above 70% (but, I take it, not higher than 96%). So, the first stage of the process, I think I understand (chemistry is not my thing, but I'm learning).
Second part, you say, 'Balancing out the metals to recover the metals is where the nitrogen comes from'. So, to me that means we're adding nitrogen to the solution to, change iron sulfate and zinc sulfate back to their respective metals -- not getting this, but I'll do some more research. Would that 'replate' the zinc on the iron or not?
'removing the nitrogen and replacing with hydrogen....' - I'll tackle this once I've got a handle on stage 2. Thanks, Gregg
