Uses and Applications of SILVER SULFATE:
-Silver(I) sulfate is a white compound that is used in the silver plating process in an effort to replace silver cyanide. -silver(I) sulfate is not as effective in silver plating as silver cyanide, and it doesn't produce the same high quality plating as silver cyanide.
-Silver(I) sulfate is used for medicinal purposes. 
-Silver is a documented antibacterial agent. 

-Bandages used to cover woulds ranging from basic skin wounds to serious lacerations and skin abrasions are impregnated with silver compounds including silver sulfate. 
These bandages do not stick to the skin, which is a big relief to the patient!
-Silver has the ability to kill bacteria cells, and the bandage prevents bacteria from coming in contact with the wound.
-Silver sulfate is an ionic compound of silver employed in silver plating

-Antibacterial remedy, binding agent.
-Silver(I) sulfate is employed in silver plating, and in electrolysis. 
-Silver(I) sulfate is a useful non-staining substitute to silver nitrate. 

-Silver sulfate/iodine is an excellent iodination reagent for alkyl, alkoxybenzenes, aromatic amines and uridines. 
-Silver(I) sulfate is used in batteries; its pharmaceitucal composition is used as an antimicrobial agent.
-Silver Sulfate is a catalyst used in the treatment of wastewater. 

-Silver Sulfate is used in the formation of nanostructured metallic layers below Langmuir monolayers.
-Iodination of alkyl and alkoxybenzenes with iodine and silver sulfate at room temperature gives iodinated aryl compounds in good yield.
-Antibiotic

-Lubricant
-Antioxidant
-Catalyst

-Silver sulfate is used as a catalyst to oxidize long chain aliphatic hydrocarbons in the determination of chemical oxygen demand (COD).
-Used in Silver Planting
-Non staining substitute for Silver Nitrate
