What is your definition of sludge. 100% of the silver goes into the colloid. I have never seen sludge. I would expect that if there was any sludge then it would settle out when left standing for several days. This does not happen. Also I see no way sludge could be made using HVAC. Unlike the DC process, there is no population of monotomic O molecules at the electrode to react with the silver, and even if it did, then the hydrogen produced on the other half cycle would strip it off a few milliseconds later leaving a silver atom. Any atoms of silver which accumulate on the electrode while it is negative which might cause silver sludge in a DC process is immediately sent back into the water as a colloid on the next half cycleas well. Why do you think that sludge is formed? Marshall
