That is, silver halide is obtained by salting out a silver-containing waste liquid, which is reduced with metal aluminum to obtain muddy silver. After prepurification by washing this muddy silver with dilute sulfuric acid, it is poured into an electrolytic solution. The slurry silver is placed in the unglazed cylinder of an electrolytic device formed by immersing a water-permeable unglazed cylinder and a cloth basket in water, and providing an anode in the unglazed cylinder and a cathode in the cloth basket. This is electrolyzed to deposit sand grain-shaped bamboo silver inside the cloth basket.
