  Silver Conservation
Silver is a very noble metal and is often found in a native state combined with gold, tin, copper, and platinum.
Silver is particularly susceptible to the effects of the sulfide radical.
During electrolysis, the reduced silver corrosion layers regenerated on the surface of the metal in formic acid are left in granular or particulated layers, which are physically weak and tend to separate from the metallic core.

It was found that the iron in the bleach solution did not affect the silver precipitate and did not precipitate with the silver, so that the residue consisted of sulfur and silver sulfide which leads to the economic removal of the silver from the residue.
The extraction of silver from the treatment solution by nitric acid precipitation of silver sulfide is insignificantly affected by the strength of nitric acid used.

The organophosphine sulfides may be added at any stage of the preparation of the silver halide emulsions prior to digestion, e.g., during precipitation of the silver halides, or after the washing and redispersion stage, or during digestion.
The organophosphine sulfide compounds were added to silver halide emulsions during the precipitation of the silver halides, during the redispersion after washing the emulsions to remove unwanted water-soluble salts resulting from the precipitation of the silver halides, or during the digestion period.
Silver chlorobromide emulsions were made according to Procedure A and remelted according to Procedure D except that the sulfur sensitizer was omitted in one control emulsion and included in a second control emulsion.

 Tarnish Removal from Silver
Silver tarnishes because it undergoes a chemical reaction with sulfur-containing substances in the air.
Silver combines with sulfur to form silver sulfide, which is fl, and darkens the silver.
Two ways to remove the silver sulfide are to: remove it from the surface, or reverse the chemical reaction and turn silver sulfide back into silver.

 Toning prints for image protection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Metallic silver forming the image in b&w prints is far from inert, and it undergoes chemical interactions with environmental pollutants not to mention moisture and air.
One of the leading threat to the silver is the oxidative agents contained in the environment, which can cause a variety of change to the image, such as discoloration, fading, mirroring, etc. Peroxide is one such oxidizing agent most commonly encountered in film and print storage environments.
This stabilizer protects silver image which is vulnerable to strong oxidizing reagents and environmental pollutants, such as ones from automobile exhaust fumes, present in the air.

 Electrochemistry Encyclopedia --- Extracting metals from sulfide ores
The underlying sulfide zone, which comprised the bulk of the resource, was less amenable to treatment in the smelters of that era, and a method was required to recover the metal values if the potentiality of the primary ore was to be realized.
The interaction of the organic collector with the sulfide mineral surface occurs by a corrosion-type mechanism in which an anodic oxidation reaction attaches the organic collector to the mineral surface and the electrons transferred to the mineral by this reaction are returned to the solution phase by the reduction of oxygen.
Silver, gold and platinum group metals present in copper ores follow the copper in both the flotation circuit and the smelter, and are recovered in the final, electrorefining stage.

 Nano bridge builds logic 012605
The researchers made the switch by depositing a 1-nanometer thick layer of silver on a silver sulfide-coated silver wire, positioning a platinum wire on the silver layer, and applying a negative voltage.
The voltage caused the atoms in the silver layer to be incorporated into the silver sulfide coating, leaving a one-nanometer gap between the silver sulfide and platinum wires.
A positive voltage turns the switch on because it draws enough silver atoms to the surface of the silver sulfide to bridge the gap between the two wires.

If you have any objects made from silver or plated with silver, you know that the bright, shiny surface of silver gradually darkens and becomes less shiny.
This happens because silver undergoes a chemical reaction with sulfur-containing substances in the air.
