If, for example, Bob's typical product is 98% ionic, that would leave only 10 PPM as particulate. That's not too high. I know the remaining 490 PPM may precipitate as a carbonate or as a hydroxide, but I wonder if that has even been demonstrated experimentally (Are you there Frank?). Might be interesting to do a test or two to find out (1) if silver actually does precipitate, and (2) what is (are) the compound(s) that form. Roger
