Silver has been used by people since time immemorial to disinfect water and heal wounds. Even then, people noticed that water acquires healing properties when it comes into contact with this metal.
Even in the records of Herodotus it is mentioned that the Persian king always carried water in silver flasks.
In Russia, the healing properties of this metal have also been noticed for a long time. Even the custom of giving a silver spoon “by the tooth” to a child speaks of this. With the appearance of teeth, the child is transferred to complementary foods, and a silver spoon protects him from bacteria.
Silver kills all bacteria. Silver utensils were used in temples even before the advent of Christianity, and in rich houses it was generally customary to have silver utensils.
Doctors began to use silver during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904. Until the advent of antibiotics, silver was widely used in medical practice.
Silver nitrate (lapis) is applied externally in the form of aqueous solutions, ointments for ulcers, erosions, cracks, acute conjunctivitis, and some forms of laryngitis. The protein preparation of silver (protargol) is used as an astringent, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent for lubricating the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract and as eye drops. A colloidal preparation of silver (collargol) is used for washing purulent wounds, in eye drops, in drops for chronic rhinitis, in the form of ointments in the treatment of certain diseases.
Silver is one of the trace elements that are always present in human blood. It is used to accelerate tissue regeneration (with delayed wound healing, gastritis, cystitis, etc.), obesity, connective tissue pathology of various origins, and fluid retention in the body. It also has a regulatory effect on the function of the nervous system, skin and urogenital organs, therefore, it can be used for various diseases of these systems, the use of silver for autonomic dysfunctions, hysterical neurosis, and the consequences of a stroke deserves special attention.
Today, doctors consider silver not only as a metal that kills microbes, but also as a trace element, which is a necessary part of the tissues of a living organism. Silver trace elements are found in the brain, endocrine glands, liver, kidneys and bones of the skeleton.
Currently, silver water can be bought in pharmacies. Making water at home is quite a difficult task. Even if you have a pure silver bowl or jug and fill the vessel with pure water instead of chlorinated tap water, the concentration of silver in the water will not be very high. It is necessary to infuse water in a dark place, since silver ions lose their strength in the light. Such water can be drunk up to 200 ml per day. It is not recommended to obtain silver water by boiling silver items in it, since they must be of a very high standard. It is unlikely that you will find coins made of pure silver. Such coins are issued for anniversaries for collectors. Jewelry silver jewelry is completely unsuitable due to the large amount of impurities. In industry, silver water is obtained by electrolysis, and the saturation of solutions with silver can be dosed. For those who do not trust pharmacies and want to prepare silver water on their own, it is recommended to use industrial ionizers, the choice of which is quite large, or purchase a special silver filter.
It has been proven that water saturated with silver ions stimulates the immune system, normalizes the intestinal microflora due to the antibacterial effect on pathogenic microflora, without causing dysbacteriosis.
Silver water is used for a very wide range of diseases.
For anal fissures, anal itching, acute and chronic paraproctitis, medicinal enemas with an ionic solution of silver in a volume of up to 200 ml once or twice a day (after a cleansing enema), dressings and tampons in wounds are recommended.
For peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, chronic gastritis, enterocolitis, take 2 tablespoons three times a day 15-20 minutes before meals for 1-1.5 months.
With stomatitis, gingivitis and other inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity - rinses and applications. It is useful to take 1-2 teaspoons inside.
With otitis, sinusitis, laryngo-pharyngitis and tonsillitis - irrigation, rinsing the throat; drops and turundas with ionic silver. When rinsing with silver water, it is useful to swallow the last sip so that the solution gets on the back wall.
In inflammatory diseases of the female genital organs, silver water is used in the form of irrigation, tampons with a solution.
With urethritis, prostatitis and cystitis of various origins - instillations, irrigation.
With furunculosis, pyoderma, dermatitis - wet-drying warm dressings.
In acute intestinal infections - take a tablespoon every four hours.
In inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract - irrigation (four to five times a day), inhalation.
With influenza (for treatment and prevention) - rinse four to five times a day.
To stimulate the body's defenses, take 2-3 tablespoons orally three to four times a day 20 minutes before or after meals for 30-45 days. It is very useful to add a few drops of lemon juice to a spoon.
Silver water can be successfully used not only for the treatment of influenza, but also for preventive purposes during epidemics. Even if you get sick, the disease will proceed much easier and faster. It is highly recommended to take silver water during severe stress.
Silver is a universal precious metal, it is used not only for making jewelry, but also in many industries. For jewelry, high samples of silver are suitable, from 830 and above. And for industry, the amount of copper or other impurities in the alloy does not matter. Therefore, such silver, which is most often found in radio components and other mechanisms, is called technical. Investors are interested in the question of how much technical silver is worth, since you can earn interest on its sale.
Technical silver
The demand for the precious metal is growing due to the fact that silver does not have time to be mined on the required scale, which requires production, the metal reserves in the ground are becoming less and less. Therefore, investing money and adding silver to an investment portfolio is a profitable business. Even technical silver is in demand in the market.
Where to get technical silver?
Scrap silver is a synonym for technical silver. You can get such a metal yourself, but in small quantities, in such mechanisms:
- radio components;
- connectors;
- resistors;
- capacitors;
- relay;
- batteries.
Switches, transistors, generator lamps also contain a small amount of technical silver. It is used due to its physical and chemical properties, which make contacts tighter and more reliable. The fact is that silver has low resistance, so the metal conducts electricity well. Even on printing and X-ray film there are particles of this precious metal.
Silver scrap from electrical components
Most often, technical silver is subject to remelting. There are rare cases when a precious metal gets into radio components after refining, that is, cleaning, and is already contained in its pure form. Of course, such contacts will improve current conductivity, but they are more expensive.
In fact, technical silver differs from jewelry only in breakdown, and even then not in all cases. This phrase simply indicates the purpose for which the precious metal is used. Theoretically, jewelry can be made from technical silver 999. But in practice, no one does this. The functions of silver that are being looked at in the industry are:
- electrical conductivity;
- resistance;
- thermal conductivity;
- light reflection.
In jewelry production, plasticity, malleability, resistance to mechanical damage are important. In addition, alloys are added to the technical silver ligature, which are undesirable for use in contact with the skin, they cause allergies or are radioactive. Therefore, technical silver is cheaper.
The cost of technical silver
Any detail in the mechanism can be silver or coated with a layer of this metal. The price depends on the weight and sample of the product. Usually they buy not one detail, but by weight, and this is called technical silver scrap.
The average cost of such a metal per kilogram reaches five hundred dollars for a 999 sample. Per gram, the price ranges from 11–15 hryvnias or 4–7 rubles. Therefore, it is unprofitable to sell silver in small quantities.
When selling, pay attention to whether your parts are magnetic or not. This also plays a role for the buyer. Magnetic silver is not used in all industries. Therefore, its cost is cheaper. For a gram of magnetic silver, they offer 2-3 rubles or up to 5 hryvnias.
You can sell technical silver to a private person on an ad, as pawnshops are reluctant to accept it and underestimate the price. And many private entrepreneurs can leave the goods without payment, because they work illegally. There is a demand for such silver in the electrical, medical, film, photo, and radio industries. Choose wholesale buyers and compare prices. Many of them indicate specifically the types of parts that are accepted for sale.
It is not recommended for beginners to engage in technical silver, since this market requires well-established contacts between the buyer and suppliers. It is also necessary to know to whom in the future to sell silver for refining and remelting.

The price of pre-war spoons starts from 40-50 rubles per 1 gram,
the sample is really not 925, but 830 + -, if European or 84th, if royal.
Scrap rubles from 30.
But this is in St. Petersburg.
04/05/2014 - 23:24
yackI needed to, I bought an ingot in a bank. Jewelers probably break not for silver, 30 rubles a gram to mine, but for work
Gentlemen, I have long wanted to make a bracelet with fox tail weaving, to order, but jewelers are mercilessly aching for the silver from which the product will be. So I was puzzled by the search for scrap silver. Please tell me where to get it?
Arlekin_2006 04/06/2014 - 12:01
Silver 999.9 is easier and cheaper to buy in a bank .. the price now for "purity" is about 21 rubles per gram .. The higher the dollar, the lower the price of silver ... I don’t understand this at all, ..

Nestor74 04/06/2014 - 12:54
why scrap?
All normal people now take a chistyak in the bank. The price is good. This is first.
Secondly, the jewelers themselves will make the correct ligature. They still have a problem with scrap, there is such a test, there is such and such. And if you bring technical silver, they can also fill your face 😊
Just Pooh 04/06/2014 - 08:18
Ask numismatists for killed 50 kopeck coins from the 1920s.
06.04.2014 - 10:38
Gentlemen, thank you for your participation. I'll go first to the jewelers to clarify the prices. And then to the bank
LPL 06.04.2014 - 11:11

There are such! I can sell, the state is true fairy tale!How much are fairy coins? At the price of scrap I will buy immediately!

But in fact, what is technical silver and where, besides tinkering, can silver contacts be used?
Grandfather Vasily 06.04.2014 - 14:06
Silver itself is not difficult to find at the prices that the comrades indicated above, for the sake of this there is no need to spoil the spoons with coins.
Nestor74 04/06/2014 - 15:18
LPLa lot of impurities, do not want to poison once again. And casting can behave unpredictably.
Enlighten why? Low test? Or a lot of impurities?
Grandfather VasilyWell, the work is the same.
I have a friend who is a jeweler. I was also going to make silver items for myself, but I abandoned this idea because the jewelers with whom I spoke take the same money for work on gold and silver.
Here they will order you a knife of a certain model from the material of the customer: X12MF, brass and apple trees, and they will order exactly the same from M390, silver and ebony. Works the same. Do you really ask for the first half as much as for the second? 😛
06.04.2014 - 15:44
I went to the jewelers, and they are off today.
Well, unless you really want to and do not pay attention to the cost.that's it, I didn't see it on sale, what I want, so I'll pay for the work as much as they say

russian-hunter- 04/07/2014 - 11:15
And how to distinguish silver spoons and coins from, say, cupronickel (and similar, silver-white)?
chief 07.04.2014 - 11:36
It is very difficult to distinguish cupronickel from cupronickel, because cupronickel dishes are silvered ... True, MNC is usually written 😊

the blowtorch will not take, no one has tried it?
gor200766 04/07/2014 - 13:33
autogen is cool, I don't have it.I don’t have an autogen either, a blowtorch gives only 750%, and the melting point of silver is above a thousand ... Therefore, hands on feet, take contacts and go to a service station or construction site. By the way, I gave the silver melted by autogen to the jeweler, he said that the silver was almost pure, about 925 samples (at high temperatures, all additives in technical silver burn out and form a slag crust on top, which can be carefully removed with tweezers). The jeweler cast me such a medallion from an ingot (9 grams).
the blowtorch will not take, no one has tried it?
Alexander = - 04/07/2014 - 13:45
Grandfather VasilyI, too, was somehow puzzled, where to attach my silver crowbar. thought about making a print? talked to jewelers. everything, as Grandfather Vasily said.
the jewelers with whom I spoke take the same money for work on gold and silver ...
... But the game is not worth the candle there.
figured that for the same money you can take the finished product. and since the signet is not the goal itself, my scrap remained unclaimed, like a suitcase without a handle: it’s a pity to throw it away.

golden
if you want to pick up "heavy metals", then go ahead as you are advised.
Contacts happen - magnetic and not magnetic.
their sample is different from 500 to 800
and that only spectral analysis can show that it is reassuring.
The kind that forward, oncology your diagnosis.
Most do not have an autogenous plant and a construction site next to it, there is no muffle furnace and no desire to buy it, but many have an old microwave oven.
And many tons of such contacts have been accumulated by people around the country and no one knows what to do with them due to the economic inexpediency of working with home metal smelting.
The video is valuable because the person showed that there is a completely affordable way.
I personally meet this option of heating and melting metals for the first time.

Silver is a metal with good electrical and thermal conductivity. It lends itself very well to processing and, forged, rolled. It is these above qualities that are the reasons for its very wide application in radio engineering and electrical engineering.
In greater quantities it is present directly in massive radio devices, silver-plated products. However, it is quite difficult to extract it from them. This process is quite laborious. If we talk about the possibility of mining it using chemistry, then it should be noted that this is a weakly reactive metal.
Nevertheless, it has long been a good source of income for people who understand this business. This article will talk about the extraction of precious metals, in particular silver, from radio components and the percentage of its content in them.
The main source of obtaining the precious metal are electronic computers manufactured in the Soviet years, various control units, again Soviet, radio devices.
It should be borne in mind that most of all various precious metals are contained in Soviet civilian and military devices. If we take only silver, then it is contained in microscopic doses in radio products and electronics.
The largest percentage contains connector contacts, up to 60% silver. As a rule, silver in radio components is not in its pure form, but in an alloy.
Taken as a whole, there are few types, types of parts and elements containing this precious metal. Relay contacts, capacitors, diodes, transistors, resistance contacts and connectors - these are the radio products richest in this metal.
Extracting it from every detail is a rather time-consuming process, since silver is “smeared” on electronic scrap.
Therefore, its removal at home is possible only from certain types of radio parts.
We provide more specific information on the content of the precious metal in the fusible insert, capacitors, relays based on production in grams from one thousand pieces:
- VP1-1 15.611g;
- K15-5 29.901 gr;
- K10-7V 13.652 gr;
- RES6 - 157 gr;
- RSCH52 - 688 gr;
- RKMP1-132 gr;
- RVM - 897.4 gr.
There are only two most common options for the presence of silver in radio components:
- In the form applied in a thin layer on the outer or inner part of the part.
- It is kept almost pure.
The first option is more laborious both in time and effort. A topic that requires a separate long conversation, since various acids are used here in a certain ratio and temperature regime: hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric.
Cupellation, electrical and chemical refining methods are used,
In the second case, the simplest and most accessible to any student, the case is removed from the parts and the silver contacts are simply cut off. This process is quite time consuming, but simpler than the first.
The highest silver content in radio components: connectors, contact relays, starters, ceramic capacitors, radio lamps. But most of all its content is in relays and Soviet microswitches.
In one relay, you can get 2-3 grams of pure 817 silver. In massive electrical contacts, it is bitten off with wire cutters or sawn off.
Usually found in pure silver, but sometimes found as alloys. In this case, it is silver from 400 to 900 samples. It is easier to remove it from large structures, but, as a rule, silver is low-grade there, there is a large percentage of impurities.
Small parts require more time and effort, but the metal there is clean or 999. Unlike large radio components, chemistry is again used here.
