HAOLE Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I am starting a silver recovery business. We are going to pull the silver from medical x-ray films and I have a few questions about the process, and the chemicals that will be used. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Glenn (James?) ZUL8TR is a chemist i believe. He's not on here much anymore though. You might send him a PM or email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 i have a degree in chemistry. i will probably be of no help unfortunately as i'm not a chemist. it sounds like an interesting business you're starting, i'm sure there are tons and tons of old x-rays being discarded as people die off. many places are transferring to computer x-ray systems, and no longer make many "real x-rays" anymore. hell, i didn't even know x-ray films had silver in them, and i should know that. good luck.

HAOLE Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I got my question mostly answered.... One of the chemical that need to be used is Potassium Farricyanide. At first the name scared the crap out of me, but after research it is a fairly safe chemical. The question that I still have is related to the concentration of the Potassium Farricyanide needed to start the removal process of the silver halide.
