Chloride ions combine with silver ions without any current flow needed. Metallic silver is stable, ionic silver will readily combine many anions. In fact, it is very difficult to prevent silver ions from combining with chloride ions. frank key -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
