The first evidence of silver mining dates back to 3000 B.C., in Turkey and Greece. Ancient people even figured out how to refine silver.
However, the one who discovered silver was lost in the history, it's still an unknown right now.

  1. Water Purifiers
    • Microdyns help remove 
    • Bacteria
    • chlorine
    • trihalomethanes
  2. Filtration
    • Water purification systems in
    • Hospitals
    • community water systems
    • pools
    • spas
    • are slowly replaced by silver iron instead of chlorine
Electronic Devices:
  1. Batteries manufactured with silver are 30% better than the lithium
  2. Over 40 silver tipped switches could be found in a fully-equipped automobile.
Green Technology:
  1. 100 million ounces of sliver are projected for use by solar energy
Glasses Application:
  1. Over 23 million squared meters of silver-coated glass are used in homes in the US each year.

  1. Find a silver ore
  2. Mine out that ore!
  3. When you get a stone just like the one that's in the right side of the image, you might think it is not really look like the one that's on the left hand side, this situation is perfectly normal, just wait for the next step.
  4. Start to refining, this  long video well explained the whole process of refining silver ores.The process is based on the principle that precious metals do not oxidise or react chemically, unlike the base metals; so when they are heated at high temperatures, the precious metals remain apart and the others react forming slags or other compounds.

Silver is a very inactive metal. It react slowly with sulfur compounds in the air. The product of this reaction is silver sulfide (Ag2S), a black compound.]]> 2018-10-25 13:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/aries_tai/silver_aries/wish/296908607 Interesting Facts aries_tai https://padlet.com/aries_tai/silver_aries/wish/296910414
  • Silver is exceptionally shiny! It is the most reflective element. Polished silver reflects 95% of the visible light spectrum. 
  • Silver is stable in oxygen and water, but it tarnishes in air because of a reaction with sulfur compounds to form a black sulfide layer.
  • Coins minted in the United States prior to 1965 consists of about 90% silver. Kennedy half dollars minted in the United States between 1965 to 1969 contained 40% silver. 
  • Silver is the best thermal conductor of any metal. The lines you see in the rear window of a car consist of silver, used to defrost ice in the winter.
  • The words for 'silver' and 'money' are the same in fourteen languages or more.

    These elements could use to make useful items/utilities in real life and could make our life better with these elements.

    These elements are very important and if we don't have these elements our life won't be so convenience as now. ]]>     2018-10-27 14:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/aries_tai/silver_aries/wish/297652913     MLA 8 Works Cited aries_tai https://padlet.com/aries_tai/silver_aries/wish/297655923 “Silver.” Wikipedia, www.wikipedia.com/en/Silver.
