Abstract: The inorganic ion exchanger chromium(III) hexacyanoferrate(III) has been found to be specifically selective for silver ions, with a sorption capacity of ca 10 mequiv g–1 of the exchanger Sorption of the silver ions from acidic (10 mol dm–3 HNO3) and salt solutions (8 mol dm–3 NH4NO3), containing different levels of silver nitrate, has been studied The studies, which were aimed at using the exchanger for the recovery of silver ions from the waste, generated from chemical oxygen demand determinations, showed ca 80–95% recovery of silver ions from concentrated waste The exchanger also selectively removed silver ions from simulated waste containing Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, CuII, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn ions
TL;DR: In this paper, the rotating disk technique was used to study silver dissolution with thiourea as a function of sulfuric acid, ferric sulfate, and thiaourea concentrations.
Abstract: The rotating disk technique was used to study silver dissolution with thiourea as a function of sulfuric acid, ferric sulfate, and thiourea concentrations. The effect of many foreign ions (Mn, Cu, Co, Ca, Na,etc.) and various additives was also examined. The dissolution of silver was zero order with sulfuric acid, first order with ferric sulfate, and second order with thiourea. Among the foreign ions, copper had a dramatically negative effect. The strong oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide and manganese dioxide were also detrimental for silver dissolution. According to the temperature effect studied (5 °C to 35 °C), the activation energy was 22.6 kJ/ mole. Silver does not dissolve with thiourea in the absence of ferric ions. Sulfuric acid does not participate in the dissolution reaction. The most important parameter for silver dissolution is the ferric sulfate/thiourea ratio. In excess ferric sulfate, a solid silver-thiourea complex is formed, which precludes transfer of silver into solution. In excess thiourea, the free thiourea reacts with formed solid silver-thiourea complex, and silver goes into the solution, predominantly as the dimers of AgTU+
3 complexes. The solid silver-thiourea complex in question was characterized by various spectroscopic, microscopic, and chemical analysis techniques. According to chemical composition, it corresponds to Ag2SO2·3TUH2O compound.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of HOL and Bu-A concentrations, pH and temperature on flotation efficiency were examined, and nearly 99% of silver ions were floated under the optimum conditions.
Abstract: The flotation of silver ions from aqueous solutions using butylamine (Bu-A) and oleic acid (HOL) as a surfactant has been investigated. The effects of HOL and Bu-A concentrations, pH and temperature on flotation efficiency were examined. Nearly 99% of silver ions was floated under the optimum conditions. The addition of some cations to the flotation medium markedly affects the floatability of silver ions. This effect could be eliminated by adding EDTA. The technique was successfully extended to float silver ions from a synthetic mixture. In the determination of silver by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, Bu-A was used to eliminate the interference effects of some organic compounds by adding it to both the sample and the standard solutions. The mechanism of this elimination is discussed. Moreover, estimation of silver ions in synthetic mixtures was demonstrated.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for measuring the effect of a small amount of fuel on the performance of a large amount of users. But the method was limited to 5 ml and the number of users was limited.
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of silver chloride was studied in a rotating silver disc electrode by oxidation with [CoIII(NH3)5Cl]2+ in acid solution and subsequently reduced galvanostatically in order to determine quantitatively the amount of silver formed during the chemical oxidation.
Abstract: Silver chloride was formed on a rotating silver disc electrode by oxidation with [CoIII(NH3)5Cl]2+ in acid solution and subsequently reduced galvanostatically in order to determine quantitatively the amount of silver(I) formed during the chemical oxidation. By varying both the oxidation time and the concentration of the cobalt complex as well as that of chloride the kinetics of the formation of silver chloride was studied indirectly. As long as the concentration of chloride exceeds that of the cobalt(III) complex the reaction is first order in [CoIII(NH3)5Cl]2+ and almost zero order in Cl−. The diffusion controlled process can be explained with the theory of mixture potential and mixture current and may therefore be regarded as a corrosion process.
