Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily separate silver without generation of public pollution or the attendance of troublesome operation for separating silver from gelatine, by ionizing silver in a waste film, and separating said silver from a solution containing the ionized silver. CONSTITUTION:A waste film is immersed in a chemical agent capable of dissolving silver contained in it, e.g. a solution containing sodium thiosulfate, and agitated therein to ionize silver. Thereafter, polyester and gelatine as a film base are removed from the solution contg. dissolved silver in it by a method such as filtration. From the obtd. solution containing the ionized silver, silver is separated by electrolysis or the like.

Conventionally, methods for separating silver from waste film include incinerating the waste film in a furnace.1. There are two methods: an incineration method in which the silver is recovered as ash, and an alkaline treatment method in which the waste film is immersed in a strong alkaline solution to separate the gelatin and silver halide on the film surface, but these methods require equipment limitations. and had various drawbacks in terms of pollution. In order to solve these problems in the conventional technology, a method (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 57-76159) has been developed in recent years in which silver is separated by crushing the waste film together with a liquid. In this method, silver is removed together with seratin from the polyester film base, and the next step is to separate silver from gelatin. Silver is separated from gelatin by conventionally known separation methods such as incineration or alkali treatment. Ta. , waste film 4) In the separation of silver from gelatin, it is more difficult to separate silver from gelatin than from polynisdel, and as described above, the polyester, gelatin and silver are first separated by crushing. Separation would be preferable since it would cause less pollution, but the difficult task of separating silver from gelatin remains.

In the method for separating silver from waste film according to the present invention, the waste film is immersed in a solution in order to ionize the silver contained in the waste film using M iQ'4 L. At this time, it is preferable to stir the inside of the tank in order to improve the contact between the waste film and the solution. The solution and I- should contain a drug capable of dissolving silver, preferably a solution containing sodium thiosulfate, a so-called fixing solution, and 1'#:, a solution containing cerium nitrate is used. used. In the case of a fixer, a fixer having a concentration of 60 to 50 is usually used, but other concentrations may be used. First, cerium nitrate is often used in concentrations of 6 to 12, but higher concentrations are dangerous. Hot water is also preferable because it requires a large amount of liquid if the concentration is low (2〈T'l: The temperature of the solution can be kept indoors, but it should be kept at a high temperature to increase the reaction rate. In most cases, the temperature should be kept at about 1~10°C.

Silver dissolved in solution exists in an ionized form, and therefore separation of such silver by electrolysis, or metal substitution, is easily accomplished by chemical reaction agglomeration methods, etc. . When separating silver by electrolysis, for example, an electrode (
Electrolysis is carried out by using carbon for the anode and stainless steel for the cathode, and high-purity silver is deposited on the anode. Moreover, since silver is dissolved in the solution, all the silver contained in the waste film is decomposed and recovered. The solution after electrolysis can be reused and does not cause pollution. In addition, even if the solution after recovering silver is disposable, it will only be about 1/10 of the amount of silver used in the production of silver.In the case of chemical reaction aggregation method, for example, in a solution containing ionized silver, Silver is recovered by adding hydrochloric acid to precipitate silver chloride, and separating and scouring the silver chloride precipitate. In addition, silver can be obtained from the silver chloride by replacing it with zinc or the like.

As mentioned above, in the method of the present invention, high-purity silver can be obtained by recovering silver by an electrolytic chemical reaction, and silver contained in gelatin can be recovered after removing polyester as in the conventional method. Since it does not involve the difficult step of separating, silver can be easily separated. In method 1-, all the silver contained in the waste film can be completely separated, that is, the entire amount thereof, and therefore the recovery yield of silver can be significantly reduced. <It can be improved. Moreover, there will be no problem of pollution.

Incidentally, the polyester waste film is often reused with synthetic cotton or the like, but it is essential to remove the gelatin at the same time. Separating gelatin containing silver from polyester is a difficult task and has low workability, but as in the present invention, silver is first dissolved and removed from waste film and only gelatin is removed from polyester. This is easily done with alkaline chemicals such as caustic soda. Therefore, there is an advantage in terms of reusing polyester.
