From page 277...
... The amount of mediating ion to be recovered will depend on its concentration in the solution, which will in turn depend on important system variables the chemical reaction rate and the concentration of oxidizing ion required to achieve the organic destruction and the flow past the anode to re-oxidize the ion (i.e., Ag+ going to Ago+. This ion loss cannot be predicted but could be substantial: several hundred pounds of silver per ton of GB destroyed, for example.
