Removal of superfine copper particles from stir bar
Today I got some superfine copper particles stuck in the Teflon coating of the stir bar and it doesn't go off by a paper towel or scratching, and I
have no nitric acid.
Is there any other way to remove them?
Collected elements:
Al, Cu, Ga, C (coal), S, Zn, Na
Collected compounds:
Inorganic:
NaOH; NaHCO3; MnCl2; MnCO3; CuSO4; FeSO4; aq. 30-33% HCl; aq. NaClO; aq. 9,5% ammonia; aq. 94-96% H2SO4; aq. 3% H2O2
Organic:
citric acid, sodium acetate, sodium citrate, petroleum, mineral oil

acetic acid + H2O2
HCl + H2O2
H2SO4 + H2O2
any acid and an oxidizer pretty much

Oh wow, didn't think it'd be that easy. Thanks.
I know what the other two reaction products with H2O2 are, but what does acetic acid and H2O2 make?

I believe it is just a solution of H2O2 and acetic acid. The H2O2 helps produce an oxide layer for the
acid to attack.

Everyone is forgetting ammonia and air by shaking them in solution to make them soluble in ammonia as a complex nice and cheapest.
