Need silver estimation instrument

2005

Hi
I am doing silver extraction business for last two months I wanted to know the correct way to check silver present in waste fixer/hypo. Right now I am using silver estimation paper. But it is very difficult to judge. Is there any instrument to check the silver from waste hypo please let me know.

Thanks

Hi, Sanjeev.

Is it not possible to titrate for the actual silver content? If you are buying and selling these solutions without knowing their actual silver content, it's tough to do proper business transactions. Good luck.
