Silver Recovery Chemistry

Non-cyanide silver stripping and leaching for PV panels and industrial scrap.

Silver Recovery Chemistry — PolyGO chemistry in context

Our silver chemistry covers two recovery routes. Stripping products recover silver in solid form directly from solid waste — no precipitation needed. Non-cyanide leaching products dissolve silver from PV panels and decorative-coating waste for downstream precipitation. Both routes are formulated for modern environmental compliance.

Products in this family

  • Stripping — Silver (solid-form recovery)

    Non-cyanide silver stripping that recovers silver directly in solid form from industrial scrap, electronic feedstock and decorative components.

  • Non-Cyanide Silver Leaching

    Dissolves silver from PV panel and decorative-coating waste streams into solution for downstream precipitation.

Why operators choose it

  • Stripping route recovers silver in solid form — skip precipitation
  • High silver/copper separation efficiency
  • Non-cyanide across the stack
  • Built-in safety features in the recovery system design
  • Feasibility-first — sample characterisation before commitment
  • PV-panel ready chemistry

Frequently asked

What's the difference between your stripping and leaching products?

Stripping recovers silver in solid form directly from solid waste — no precipitation step. Leaching dissolves silver into solution, which is then followed by a precipitation step. We pick the route that fits your feedstock.

Can your silver chemistry handle PV panel feedstock?

Yes. The non-cyanide silver leaching formulation is specifically validated against the silver-paste contact layer used in crystalline-silicon photovoltaic modules.

What recovery rates should we expect?

Recovery depends on feedstock grade and line design. Our standard reference deployments operate at up to 98% silver recovery when paired with PolyGOResin™ Select Series capture.
