Abstract
A method and apparatus for recovery of metallic silver from a silver containing aqueous solution employing an electrolytic cell by introducing such solution to a hollow central anode and jetting the solution from the anode through a plurality of apertures having outwardly flared exit sections in generally conically configured streams from the anode toward an outer circumscribing cathode of the cell. The solution issuing forth simultaneously from the several apertures is moved in a plurality of streams toward the cathode, each stream diffusing as it nears the cathode.
