When the water cools to room temperature, the solution becomes supersaturated and the silver ions are forced out of solution as large metal flakes. If at room temperature the ionic silver is greater than 13.3 ppm, then the only explanation is that carbonates are providing the anion for the additional silver cations. frank key >>
Frank: Are these statements a result of experimental observations, or speculation based on solubility product calculations? If it's the latter, experiments could demonstrate whether CO2 plays a role by using a bubbler during CS electrolysis. Two gases could be used, CO2 and argon or nitrogen. According to what you said above, without CO2 present, silver ions would saturate water at a lower concentration compared to water saturated in CO2. After electrolysis, make a separation with your super centrifuge. The supernatant liquor should reflect saturation with and without the presence of CO2. In addition, by varying the "brew time" you can determine if there is a relationship between run time and silver concentration. If saturation is indeed controlling, there will be no such relationship after a finite time (to reach saturation) has passed.
