Cyclic voltammetric studies on reduction of silver from synthetic colour bleach fix solutions

Cyclic voltammetric studies were carried out to understand the electrochemical aspects of the reduction of silver ion from synthetic colour bleach fix solutions (SCBF solution). The results obtained have helped in throwing light on the mechanism of the above process and for optimising the various parameters with a view to increase the current efficiency. Based on the cyclic voltammetric informations, controlled potential electrolysis experiments were also carried out to find out the silver deposition efficiency
