    摘要: A silver recovery device (30) is described for removing silver from a silver-containing solution. The device (30) comprises an ion-exchange resin bed (34) and a pump (62) for directing the solution through the resin bed (34). The pump (62) is positioned downstream of the resin bed (34) and the resin bed (34) is held within a retaining space (36) of variable dimensions. Higher liquid flow rates are thereby achievable, without fluidization of the resin.

    摘要: An apparatus for de-silvering silver-containing solutions comprises an electrolytic cell (10) having an anode (20), a cathode (30) and a reference electrode (45) positioned adjacent the cathode (30), and electrical power supply control means (41) for controlling the supply of electrical power to the anode (20) and the cathode (30). Operation of the cell (10) is controlled potentiostatically while the current exceeds a certain threshold value and the current is controlled galvanostatically at that threshold (minimum) value in circumstances in which the potentiostatic control would result in a current below the threshold value. To this end, the power supply control means (41) includes means (60) for adjusting the cathode potential and control means (70) linked to said adjustment means (60) for controlling operation of the cell potentiostatically at a selected cathode potential, means for monitoring the current drawn through the cell during such potentiostatic control and for comparing such current with a threshold current, and means for controlling the cell galvanostatically at such threshold current value, means for switching from potentiostatic to galvanostatic control in response to cell current dropping below said threshold value, means for periodically re-establishing said selected cathode potential, and means for reverting from galvanostatic to said potentiostatic control in response to a cell current above said threshold value when said selected cathode potential is re-established.

    摘要: Silver is recovered from solutions containing the same, e.g. photographic processing solutions, in an electrolytic cell including an anode, a removable cathode and electrical connectors therefore on the exterior of the cell. The removable cathode is circular in configuration and encircles the anode. On the interior of the cell, electrical contact is made around the upper end of the cathode by means of an annular contact surface providing a large area of contact and minimizing the risk of occurrence of a corrosive connection. The upper end of the cathode is shaped for deformation, preferably in the form of castellations, and is clampingly pressed against the contact surface by a frusto-conical extension of the lid of the cell. The lid fits in threadwise engagement within the opening to the cell through which the cathode can be removed. As the lid is threaded into the cell opening, the frusto-conical extension thereof bears against the deformable cathode end portion and clamps the same against the contact surface. In this arrangement, the contact surface is situated above the level of the electrolyte in the cell so as to be protected against corrosion by the electrolyte.

By this method an ecologically favourable minimization of silver content in the washing solution has been obtained without impairing the processing speed, without enhancing processing costs and without excessive regeneration.
