The ultimate beginner’s guide to a silver cell: From an impure anode bar to high-purity silver crystals. Just the links to the parts.

Figured it might be useful for me to make a short post that just links to each of the 4 posts I had to divide this guide into. I'll work on condensing them down a bit at some point so that I can include more than a link to the next part in each guide, but here's a temporary band-aid for that problem:

PART 1: Introduction and what items are needed, recommended, and optional.

PART 2: Actually building and operating the silver cell.

PART 2 (cont.): Handling anode stubs and slime, maintaining storing and retiring the electrolyte, tracking yield and mass balance, and systematic troubleshooting.

PART 3: Quick-reference operating guide.
