Silver recovery from spent colour-photography solutions

Jun 01, 1989· Silver metal was recovered from spent photography solutions containing up to 10.2 kg/m 3 silver by different techniques including alkaline, acidic and hydrogen peroxide treatments. The acidic process was found to be the most promising.

US5238543A Recovery of silver from photographic film and

A process which incorporates the recovery of silver from photographic film into the recovery of silver from photographic development waste solution is provided. In the process, a silver bearing emulsion layer coated on the surface of the photographic film is dissolved in the waste solution which is in turn subjected to an electrolysis treatment to recover metallic silver therefrom.

(PDF) Methods of silver recovery from radiographs

The major sources to recover silver are photo-processing solutions, spent rinse water, scrap film and scrap printing paper.

Silver Recovery Methods

Electrolytic recovery is the most widely used silver recovery method for fixer solution and photographic processing solution. The silver is recovered from solution by electroplating it onto a cathode. A controlled, direct electrical current is passed between two electrodes suspended in the silver-bearing solution. Silver is deposited on the cathode in the form of nearly pure silver plate. The cathodes are removed

Silver Recovery from Waste Photographic Films by an

Key Words: Silver recovery,waste photographic lms, Bacillus subtilis Introduction The waste X-ray photographic lms containing black metallic silver spread in gelatin are a very good source for silver recovery compared with other types of lm. The amount of silver

Silver extraction from waste hypo/fixer solution

A. Gentlemen, The cleanest, least complicated method of extracting silver from spent photographic fixer solution is by electrolytic stripping. A rotating, small carbon or graphite anode is often used with a large, stationary, stainless steel cathode. Ready made units are available in many price ranges.

Silver recovery from spent colour-photography solutions

Silver metal was recovered from spent photography solutions containing up to 10.2 kg/m 3 silver by different techniques including alkaline, acidic and hydrogen peroxide treatments. The acidic process was found to be the most promising. In this process, spent solutions were acidified to pH 3.6 at which precipitation of an insoluble silver sludge was initiated.
