X-ray film contains silver (Ag). The medical industry & defence, marine, oil/gas industries have ‘000s of te of x-ray film in storage. There are two types of X-ray film - ‘Traditional’ and ‘Dry View’. Currently there is no method to recover Ag from ‘Dry View’ film other than incineration. ALL such film from UK & EU is sent abroad for incineration, but this is very inefficient (85% Ag recovery) & energy intensive. We have created a new process that can treat all x-ray film types together. We believe we can eliminate the sorting cost, increase yield & eliminate any data security risk, as films can be shredded without separation. Our process should recover virtually 100% of Ag, and so we would provide a much better rebate to our customers including all NHS Trusts. We need an independent expert to perform a technical and economic feasibility study of our lab scale process, before we undertake more extensive research and development. If we can successfully develop and commercialise this technology then we will be able to build a business with multiple revenue streams. A process plant to generate revenue from the recovery of silver from all film types; license revenue from processing licensees operating throughout the EU; royalty revenue from silver recovered; and revenue from plant installations. Creating a multi-million £ business.

X 射线胶片含有银 (Ag)。医疗行业和国防、海洋、石油/天然气行业存储了数十张 X 射线胶片。 X 光胶片有两种类型：“传统”和“干观”。目前，除了焚烧之外，没有其他方法可以从“干观”胶片中回收银。来自英国和欧盟的所有此类薄膜都被送往国外焚烧，但效率非常低（85% 的银回收率）且能源密集。我们创建了一种新流程，可以同时处理所有类型的 X 射线胶片。我们相信我们可以消除分选成本，提高产量并消除任何数据安全风险，因为薄膜可以在不分离的情况下粉碎。我们的流程应该回收几乎 100% 的 Ag，因此我们将为包括所有 NHS 信托机构在内的客户提供更好的回扣。在我们进行更广泛的研究和开发之前，我们需要一位独立专家对我们的实验室规模工艺进行技术和经济可行性研究。如果我们能够成功开发这项技术并将其商业化，那么我们将能够建立具有多种收入来源的业务。一个加工厂，通过从所有类型的薄膜中回收银来产生收入；来自在整个欧盟运营的加工被许可人的许可收入；白银特许权使用费收入恢复；以及来自工厂安装的收入。创建数百万英镑的业务。
