Silver recovery system.

摘要

A silver recovery system includes a novel power supply and a novel structure for a cell used in the recovery system. The power supply monitors the conductivity of the electrolyte of the silver recovery system and automatically sets power to the operating or standby modes depending on the magnitude of the conductivity. Thus, the system is capable of unattended operation. The cell consists of a canister which is a hollow cylinder having an open top end and a closed bottom end. The anode is an elongated rod and extends into the canister centrally thereof, and the cathode is a partial cylinder which surrounds the anode.
