Abstract
The Influence of temperature on the recovery reaction of silver in aqueous solution was investigated based on Pourbaix diagram constructed by thermodynamic calculation at different temperatures. It was observed that the stability of water is more strongly affected by pH variation and the stable region of ${Ag^+}_{(aq)}$ is diminished at higher temperature. It was shown that the recovery of $Ag_{(aq)}$ in the forms of $Ag_{(s)}$ and $Ag_2O_{3(s)}$ is more advantageous thermodynamically at lower temperature, however, the recovery of $Ag_{(aq)}$ in the forms of $Ag_2O_{(s)}$$Ag_2O_{2(s)}$ is more advantageous as temperature increases. The rise of temperature is considered to demote the recovery of silver thermodynamically in strong acidic condition ($pH{\leq}2$), but more silver is regarded to be recovered with temperature above pH 2. Finally, The recovery of silver in the elemental state is shown to be more sensitively influenced by temperature variation compared with the recovery of silver in its oxide form.
