I washed x-rays industrial and medical x-ray film with lye and tapwatertap water. Can I add bleach to draw the silver out of the lye or would I just add salt water to get AgCl, then siphon off the excess water and wash with hot water, catch in filter, and finally melt in crucible with borax to obtain metallic silver?
