Dear James-Osbourne: Holmes, I am not familiar with the means by which Microdyn and others in Mexico are making their concentrated CS, but am under the impression that they could be making by the same means that I do. Here are the basic components of my generator (courtesy of educate-yourself.org): 1. a two liter erlenmeyer flask with rubber stopper, through which is set a thermometer and the two electrodes 2. a double boiler into which the flask is set 3. an electrical converter which outputs 27volts DC During the process the temperature is kept just under boiling. Polarity is switched every minute, in order to prevent current runaway. This also minimizes the amount of silver oxide that collects on the electrodes. I generally run the generator for three or four hours which yields ~200ppm, but if one were to run it for a couple of days they'd get upto ppm in the thousands. At 200ppm it looks like glorious *mud* to reflected light, but put a strong light behind it and you'll see that it's still clear.
I am unfamiliar with zeta potential so would welcome your observations on that. Reid James-Osbourne: Holmes, Are the very high concentrations made electolytically? If they are made by precipitation, the Zeta potential may be very different. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
