A closed-loop electrogenerative recycling process for recovery of silver from a diluted cyanide solution

A closed-loop process for the complete recovery of silver from a diluted silver cyanide solution has been constructed based on an electrogenerative process. It was shown that the reduction of silver was a mass transport controlled process. Under optimal experimental conditions, 100% of silver was re...

Sumario:A closed-loop process for the complete recovery of silver from a diluted silver cyanide solution has been constructed based on an electrogenerative process. It was shown that the reduction of silver was a mass transport controlled process. Under optimal experimental conditions, 100% of silver was recovered from 500 mg L(−1) and 100 mg L(−1) silver cyanide solutions by using a reticulated vitreous electrode (RVC) as the cathode. The cyanide solution was recycled and reused so that a closed-loop process was obtained. In addition, the RVC in this study can be used repeatedly up to 10 cycles with a calculated relative standard deviation of 1.90%.
