Hello,
From the time I first started making my own CS I have occassionally had
it tested at our local college. {atomic level tests} My latest tests that I
had them do was to see if indeed whether or not H202 mixed at 1 drop for every
2 ounces did actually decrease the partical size. I had three tests done:
1. First a test on 1 gallon of my CS unaltered.
2. A test on a second gallon of my CS after adding 64 drops of H202 [I ordered
this test to be done within 30 minutes of adding the H202]
3. A test on a third gallon of my CS after adding 64 drops of H202 after
waiting for at least 24 hours.
I have not received yet the paper showing partical sizes......but I did talk to
them on the phone. First of all my CS unaltered was 75% ionic and measured 18
ppm.
Tests 2 and 3 were dramatically different........number 2 was 88% ionic and 3
was 100%. This actually proves what I had suspected: that the reaction
actually takes much longer to complete than what I had originally been told. I
suspected this for 2 reasons.......first......the older my CS got after adding
H202 it had less of a tyndall effect........and second.........the older it
gets after adding H202 the stronger it tastes.
I have some mixed H202/CS that is more than 2 weeks old and it hasn't
precipitated or shown any other signs of "going bad"........anybody who doubts
the advantage of adding H202 should have their own tests done. I'll post all
of the numbers when I get them in the mail. Robb
