Happy Thanksgiving Day, Some time ago I tried polarity reversing experiments with constant current, stirred LVDC method. I think the reversal time was somewhere between half and one minute. What I found was for the same brew time and all other conditions being constant, the reversal CS was not nearly as "strong", as measured by a Hanna PWT, as the unreversed CS.
Why? At the onset of each reversal, is there a period of time wherein some sort of electrochemical reaction to "undo" something at each electrode before it can start producing more CS? This seems borne out because the voltage across the electrodes at constant current changes at the onset of the reversal before gradually settling back to about the voltage before the reversal. I don't remember if the voltage rose or dipped at reversal time. Electrochemists - what's going on here? Even though it make take longer to end up with the same strength brew, is the reversal method still advantageous? --Steve -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
