title: Silver recovery--departmental management approach.
abstract: Silver from spent fixing solutions offers a challenge to recover consistently the maximum possible grams of silver per square metre, resulting in a high financial return. It also helps in keeping a clean environment, whilst assisting in the maintenance of silver stocks. The benefits of control in management of silver recovery have been demonstrated using the high current density electrolytic method. While this system is expensive, the high prices paid for silver very quickly repay the initial cost. Thereafter with the exception of a small collection charge the return is considerable.
