I retired from the printing industry years ago, but have maybe 8-10 pounds of material from a shop centrifuge device that processes fixer. We used to sell it and used litho film to a guy who processed or resold it. The device spun and used an electrolytic process to extract the silver. I don't know the chemical form...maybe silver oxide?
Is it worthwhile trying to extract the silver? Since litho film is not used much (or at all) anymore, I don't think I can sell it as is? Can someone point me to the way to handle this? Since this is a one time thing and not a hobby, I know there will be an upfront cost for required materials and also a time cost. I apologize in advance for not researching this site before posting. Past experience tells me, I'll waste a lot of time poking around and may get it wrong anyway. thx!
