Does anyone have a copy of this article? All I can get is the abstract, and $37.50 for this seems rather absurd. Long ago I tried mixing colloidal silver with hydrochloric acid and was unable to get any observed reaction without heating it (with the colloidal part). There is some very important information missing from the abstract, such as what concentrations, temperatures are needed and how long the reaction takes.

High chemical reactivity of silver nanoparticles toward hydrochloric acid

"High chemical reactivity of Ag nanoparticles was observed in the reaction with hydrochloric acid: Ag (nanoparticles) +HCI -> AgCl + H-2; the reaction product silver chloride was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction to give a direct evidence for the reaction which has been proved impossible for the bulk Ag."

Hey Steve,


I had been wondering that. It seemed strange to me that it was automatically assumed that particles could get by the stomach acid untouched, as if it was self evident. If you have any info on that, I would like to have it.

Thanks,

You have probably read the claim by some suppliers of particle based CS that ionic silver is not effective and that only silver particles are active. And that the effectiveness of particle silver is dependent on the total surface area if the silver particles. It turns out that nothing is further from the truth. A fairly recent study has shown that stomach acid is highly reactive with silver nanoparticles and converts the silver nanoparticles the same as it does ionic silver. If the silver particles are large enough some of the particle may escape conversion but the same would be true of the silver particles in CS generated by electrolysis.
