Title: Method of separation/purification for high-purity silver chloride, and process for producing high-purity silver by the same
Inventor: KASAI MASUSHI
IPC: C01G5/02
Filed: 2004-08-31
Abstract: A method of efficient separation/purification for obtaining high-purity silver chloride which eliminates the necessity of a pretreatment of a refining intermediate comprising sparingly soluble silver compounds and impurity elements when silver chloride is separated from the refining intermediate and purified to a high degree and which enables the silver chloride to be used as a raw material to give high-purity silver metal without necessitating the pyrometallurgical refining or electro-refining of the silver metal. The method is characterized by comprising: a leaching step in which the refining intermediate is leached with an aqueous sulfite solution to extract silver with the solution to thereby form a silver-containing liquid resulting from the leaching and an insoluble residue; a silver chloride generation step in which the liquid resulting from the leaching is neutralized and acidified to precipitate silver chloride and thereby form the silver chloride and a mother liquor; and a silver chloride purification step in which the silver chloride is oxidized in an acidic aqueous solution by adding an oxidizing agent to dissolve and separate impurity elements and thereby form purified silver chloride and a solution containing the impurity elements.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à un ensemble d'administration destiné à être utilisé de concert avec un régulateur de débit pour dispenser à un patient un fluide provenant d'au moins une source de fluide. L'ensemble d'administration comprend un tube conçu pour se brancher à la source du fluide et acheminer celui-ci au patient. Un doigt de localisation est fixé à l'avant du tube dans une position propre à faire en sorte que lorsque l'appareil fonctionne, un élément de mise en place commande l'encliquage du régulateur de débit. Cependant, si le tube est branché au régulateur de débit alors que ce dernier n'est pas en marche, le doigt de localisation ne permettra pas à l'élément de mise en place de s'enclencher. On pourra ainsi s'assurer que le tube est bien branché au régulateur de débit alors qu'il est en position de marche.
