Silver Recovery for All Outfalls |
Some of the 30 plus Spent Fixer outfalls are already being recovered by UT Southwestern but some are collected and shipped out as wastes. EH&S will collect all spent fixer and move it to a central location for recovery. EH&S has found a vendor that will do the recovery for free using an Electorlytic Unit followed by Ion Exchange. No more spent fixer will be shipped off campus as hazardous waste. |
