  • Silver recovery method
    Patent number: 4362608
    Abstract: A silver recovery apparatus for recovering silver from a solution containing silver ions, such as a photographic fixer bath, including an electrolytic recovery cell, a probe electrode located in a liquid conduit connecting a source of the solution to the cell, and a magnetic drive pump in the same liquid conduit between the probe electrode and the cell. The probe electrode senses the presence or absence of silver ions at the cathode of the cell and provides a signal that is used to regulate a pulsed plating current. The relative orientation of the probe electrode, magnetic drive pump and recovery cell, as well as the pulsation of the plating current, results in higher plating currents in the cell at high silver ion concentrations.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 22, 1981
    Date of Patent: December 7, 1982
    Assignee: Silver Systems, Ltd.
    Inventors: Don L. Biles, A. Alan Richardson

  • Method for clarification of lipemic serum
    Patent number: 3958939
    Abstract: A method for the elimination of sample turbidity in blood serum samples where the turbidity is caused by the presence of chylomicrons, by forming an interface between the sample and a fat specific solvent, centrifuging the thus prepared unit and thereafter either decanting the solvent or withdrawing the cleared serum.
