Abstract:This work aimed to study the efficiency of recycling the silver present in X-ray films for the development of alloys that can be used to make jewelry. For the recovery of metallic silver we used the chemical precipitation method which was used solution of NaClO and water in different ratios (Method 1 and 2) and NaOH and water (Method 3). The metal silver obtained from the three methods was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The purity of the metal obtained was 94% that can be used in making alloys for jewelry. Fur… Show more
