This waste solution is the basic raw material for our business, which can be procured from all X-ray Clinics, Photographers etc. While purchasing and processing the fixer/hypo solution, the silver concentration in solution can be estimated in grams per litre with the help of Silver Estimation Papers.
The solution may then be termed as a "waste photographic processing solution" or "waste fixer." After the photographic processing of film is completed, the waste fixer solution need be disposed. The waste fixer solution is a high oxygen demanding solution and if dumped directly in environmental water sources contributes to water pollution.
2002. Q. Wish to know about the silver extraction method from waste hypo solution and the details about the machine and tools using the extraction. I am engaged in the business of silver extraction from the waste hypo/fixer and waste photo films. At present even though I am extracting silver successfully my procedure is very lengthy, risky and slow process.
In nutshell I want to know the details of easy and profitable practical method for the extraction of Silver from waste Hypo fixer solution. Please guide accordingly. I shall be very thankful to you. Riyaj Patil photo studio - Sangli, Maharasatra, India ^ September 19, 2011. A.
a process for extracting and recovering silver from the gelatin layer of photographic or other solid base materials including the steps of treating the material with an aqueous solution of oxidizing salt to oxidize the metallic silver in the gelatin layer of the material, washing the material with a complexing agent, solution to form silver thiosulfate ions and recovering the silver from the ...
The fix solution you seek is one of the most inexpensive chemicals of the black and white process. You can use most any fixer formulas. In other words, fixer for X-ray, fixer for film and paper. You might buy some from a local camera shop or photo studio. In any event, the stuff is benign. You be at ease, allowing your students to work with it.
thiosulphate (hypo). Mixing instructions Working strength ILFORD RAPID FIXER solutions can be mixed either manually or by using automatic solution mixing equipment. If automatic mixing equipment is used follow the equipment manufacturer's recommendations and advice. RA Note Photographic chemicals are not hazardous when used correctly.
Up until now, I have always used fixer as a one-shot, processing medium format negatives in a small tank. Now, I am starting tray development of 4x5 negatives. It seems like such a massive waste to throw out 750ml - 1 liter of fixer solution after fixing just 4-8 negatives when that solution can presumably fix approx 94 of them.

Why Is X-ray Fixer Hazardous Waste? X-ray fixer, or x-ray fixer solution neutralizes any developer remaining on the film, removes undeveloped silver halides, and hardens the emulsion. What makes it dangerous is its chemical makeup: it contains high concentrations of silver, typically 3,000 to 8,000 mg/l of silver. ...

Joined: Feb 6, 2005. Location: Blue Ridge, Shooter: 4x5 Format. a photography instructor told me to put my exhausted fixer in a pail with some steel wool and leave it alone for awhile. Supposedly the steel wool attracts the silver, leaving a clear, silver-free solution on top which can be poured off.
Silver extraction from waste hypo/fixer solution During the photographic film processing, Silver leaches into the fixer solution (Sodium Thio-Sulphate) from the photographic film and forms Silver Thio-Sulphate complex ions The fixer is considered exhausted after becoming silver-rich (~ 7 gm/l), as it can no more serve the purpose of fixing the ...

Chime right in! (no registration req'd) -----"Process to extract silver from the waste fixer/hypo solution" 2007. I am very seriously thinking about setting up a silver extraction unit with capacity of approx. 300 gms./day.
Anyways I have some doubts and queries as well because this is the first time I am recovering from a hypo fixer solution. 1) First of all to add NaOH (lye) to drop the silver. Simply putting Naoh powder to the bucket of fixer solution (I have Medical x-ray like chest, hand, etc) and it should precipitate a powder.

Hazardous Waste Label (refer to EH&S Hazardous Materials and Waste Manual, Appendix B of the Chemical Hygiene Plan). Call EH&S for pickup IV. IV. Fixer Fixer solutions slowly release sulfur dioxide gas as they age. However, when these solutions are contaminated with acid from the stop bath, the sulfur dioxide gas is released at a more rapid rate.
