Ivan, Thanks for the equation & spread sheet. Now for the practicalities: It is obvious by the crud that forms on the electrodes and falls to the bottom that not all the silver being electrolytically removed from the electrode ends up as colloids. And some of the silver ends up as ions. So what is a practical factor to apply to the result of your PPM calculation? I am guessing one would multiply the result of the Faraday equation by a third to a half.
By the way, do you still believe the Hanna PWT readings should be multiplied by 0.59 (going by memory here) that you stated in this forum two years or so ago? --Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "herx" <her...@yahoo.com> To: <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 10:53 AM Subject: CS>Answer how to calculate ppm of CS at home Hello list, long time listener, first time caller. I've read many posts here regarding calculating ppm of CS. I can help you figure out the ppm of the CS you're brewing at home, or help you determine how long you need to brew in order to get any desired ppm. There are several ways of knowing the PPM of your homemade CS. One way that doesn't require an expensive PWT meter is to use Faraday's equation for electrolytic deposition. If you know how much current is flowing through your electrodes, you can calculate the PPM being produced. If you're not up on electrochemistry, I've written a spreadsheet that will calculate it for you. <snip> -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
