Silver & Plating Solution Recovery    BENEFIT: Only steel wool combines the desirable properties of chemically available iron, extremely high surface area to weight ratio, and its own structural integrity in a single component system. None of the common alternatives offer all of these properties economically. Wire cloth lacks in surface area and is difficult to refine. Iron powder lacks structural integrity and must be applied to expensive inert carriers. Resins are extremely expensive and must be replenished frequently. FORMATS: The metallic ion exchange process for recovering silver from spent fixer and rinse water solutions generated by silver halide photochemistry.

Design considerations such as fiber thickness (grade), density, overall dimensions, and core type can be specified to meet the individual needs of your application. Our Technical support personnel can assist in choosing the proper configuration of steel wool reels for your application. • Chopped Fiber - Where finely divided steel fibers exhibiting superior flow characteristics are required, we offer a range of chopped steel wool fibers. These fibers are used primarily in applications with narrow mouth vessels requiring a dense pack of fibers with uniform flow-through characteristics.
