Response to silver recovery

from Wayne (wsteffen@skypoint.com)
i think you need many drums before you have a lot, from a silver recovery perspective. Consider the miniscule amounts of silver present in film and paper, then the rather low price of silver, then the expenseof the recovery unit. My understanding is that the recovery units which are practical in price for a small operation also corrode away and have to be replaced just about when they've broken even. The better ones are more expensive and only practical for large volumes. I was told this by a Kodak support person a couple years ago. I would love to find out it isnt true, but I dont know why he would have lied since I had called because I wanted to buy a recovery unit and he talked me out of it!
