Photographic waste is one of the wastes produced by the paper and printing industries. Photographic waste usually contains metal ions mostly silver, sodium, potassium and iron. Since silver is photosensitivity material and its valuable increasing price, people tends to recover the silver from photographic waste to reuse it in paper and printing industries. A lot of research had been done to effectively recover the silver from photographic waste. This research is to investigate the ability of electrolysis process to recover the silver from photographic waste. In the process of electrolysis, or commonly known as electrolytic silver recovery, a direct current is passed through a silver-rich solution between a positive electrode (the anode) and a negative electrode (the cathode). During the process, an electron is transferred from the cathode to the positively charged silver, converting it to its metallic state, which adheres to the cathode.
