Abstract
The article lays out the findings aimed to develop the fine silver powder production technique for electronics industry by selecting the variable parameters whereby a number of powder grades can be produced in the existing production environment (JSC “Uralelektromed”, Russia). The tests for significance of the parameters of silver recovery by ascorbic acid such as pH level of nitrate silver solution, dispersant flow rate, initial concentration of silver, mixing rate and solution temperature made it possible to choose optimum conditions to produce powders of 0.8-6.3 μm in particle size, of 3.0-4.2 g/cm3 in tapped density and with the specific surface area of 2300-4300 cm2/g. Crystalline silver of 99.98 % purity served as a raw material for obtaining silver powders.
