Physical and Chemical Properties | White luster metal (face-centered cubic crystal), ductility is second only to gold. Melting point 961.93 °c. Boiling point 2212 °c. Relative density d2010.5. Soluble in nitric acid, hot sulfuric acid, soluble in molten alkali metal hydroxide, alkali metal peroxide, alkali metal cyanide. Hydrochloric acid can corrode the surface, most of the acid is not active, do not dissolve in cold water and hot water. Silver is a good conductor of heat and electricity and is not eroded by water and atmospheric oxygen. It turns black when exposed to ozone, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur. Most silver salts are sensitive to light. |
Use | Used as electroplating and production of precision alloy, solder and other raw materials |

Introduction | silver has an atomic number of 47 and is a silver-white noble metal. Silver in nature is very small in the Free State of the existence of a single substance, mainly in the presence of silver compounds ore. Silver chemical stability, low activity, expensive, thermal conductivity, conductivity is very good, not susceptible to chemical corrosion, soft, rich ductility. |
properties | silver has good electrical and thermal conductivity, and has the best reflectivity for white light. Silver in dry air or oxygen does not oxidation reaction, but in sulfur-containing moist air, the surface will be black, strong resistance to alkaline substances, but very easy to nitric acid (HNO3) and concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) was dissolved. Silver in nature is often mixed with sulfides or with sulfides of other metals (lead, zinc, copper). |
distribution | silver reserves are larger. Although the reserves of silver in China is small, but the mineral quality is excellent, the origin is mainly in Hunan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan area. |
Application | in industrial alloys of silver, a large class of silver-based brazing alloys, it is widely used in all kinds of steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metal welding; Special ingredients of silver-based solder can also be used for welding tungsten, carbide, Diamond, ceramic, carbon and glass. |
Applications | for electronic industry materials. It can also be used in the preparation of highly pure silver salts and as a highly pure analytical reagent. used as hot hydrogen generator, Gel propellant, combustion activator, Catalyst, water cleaning adsorbent, sintering activator, etc. used for elemental analysis of organic compounds used for filter, ceramic tube capacitor, carbon film potentiometer, solid tantalum capacitor, composite transistor, conductive Fever components, etc. used as raw materials for electroplating and making precision alloy, solder, etc. used for electroplating and making precision alloy, solder and other raw materials microanalysis; Manufacture of silver salts and alloys; Catalyst; Reducing agent silver powder can be used as conductive materials in microelectronic thick films. For example, an electrode that can be matched with an Al2O3, zirconia and borosilicate glass matrix is manufactured by matching with glass, and an epoxy resin, modified phenolic resin or acrylic resin is matched to manufacture a low-temperature silver paste that can be printed and can be coated. |
production method | the industrial production adopts electrolysis method, that is, the metal silver is used as the raw material, dissolved in nitric acid, and the electrolyte composition is: containing Ag50 g/L,HNO33 ~ 10g/L, adding electrolytic cell for electrolysis. The electrolyte temperature was about 45 ° C., the cell voltage was 2.5V, and the cathode current density was 2.5~2.7 A/cm2. After electrolytic refining, high-purity silver powder was obtained. |
