Abstract
Data on the influence the solution's ionic composition and amino acids (histidine, methionine) have on the anodic dissolution of silver are presented. The dissolution is most effective in intensively agitated nitrate solutions containing methionine in excess of 0.05 M (current efficiency reaches 75%). By analogy with the gold dissolution, acceleration of the silver dissolution is attributed to oxidized methionine complexing with metals.
