Aristotle named mercury liquid silver and Dioskorides named it silver water . From this comes the Latin name of mercury—hydrargium. 

The solutions we offer are based on two main technologies electrolytic silver recovery from fixer solutions and cascade fixing. In what follows we will give more teclmical details about these teclmologies. We will clarify the key-factors to obtain reliable and more ecological solutions for the silver in the rinsing water. 

Depending on the boundary conditions, the optimal technology to decrease the silver in the rinsing water, may either be electrolytic desilvering or cascade fixation. 

To comply with existing and future legislation with respect to silver content in processor rinsing water, the approach developed by Agfa is threefold. 

First, we want to offer G335SF in combination with STRUCTURIX SILVERFIX as a viable solution to customers who want to upgrade their existing equipment (installed base processors) in order to decrease the silver content of their rinsing water.
