Go to the library and read the "Colloidal Chemistry" reference book, it is probably one of the easiest to find, but I have found at least 8 references that state the same thing, some textbooks, and others in scientific journals. > Then how can my small DC units produce clear CS at 20ppm and higher as > measured by the Ion Selective Electrode method? Don't know. What is the Ion Selective Electrode method? Send me some of your clear 20 ppm and I will do a ppm test on it. In no case have I ever found it possible to exceed 5 ppm by much wihout getting some color. We use a $5300 machine purchased specifically to test the ppm of silver, and it is accurate to about 1 part per thousand. If you have found a way to exceed this level and maintain small particle size I would sure like to know how you do it. > C'mon mate, the fact that you can not or do not does not necessarily > apply universally. > > Ivan. > True. Please send me a sample. First we need to know if the ppm you are reporting is accurate. I will also run a spectrograph on it so we know exactly what color it is as well (even if it is uv). That will allow me to easily see if it departs from everything we have tested before. Marshall. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
