BS 1561:1966

This standard BS 1561:1966 Specification for silver anodes and silver salts for electroplating is classified in these ICS categories:

• 25.220.40 Metallic coatings

1.1.1 This British Standard specifies requirements for silver anodes, silver potassium cyanide and silver cyanide for electroplating.

Silver is normally electrodeposited from a solution containing essentially, a double cyanide of silver and an alkali metal, additional alkali cyanide (free cyanide) and other alkaline compounds. This solution is usually produced from silver potassium cyanide or silver cyanide and pure silver anodes are normally used.

Silver anodes, silver potassium cyanide (double salt), silver cyanide (single salt). Minimum silver content, maximum insoluble matter. Methods of analysis appended.
