Federowicz > Providence, Rhode Island Alexander, I'm sorry you feel that providing evidence that disproves a statement is such a terrible offense. But I'm sure Frank appreciates your support. I do not understand your reference to sale-oriented literature. As I have stated before, I have no intention of producing colloidal silver commercially. There are too many companies doing this already, and one more would only be lost in the noise. I have other interests that are far more compelling. But I am very interested in finding out how the process of making cs works. Frank stated the reason the mist forms is due to the electrons flowing through the solution combining with the silver ions. Now, it is true that electrons do flow in metals - that is how your lights work when you switch them on. Electrons also flow in a vacuum - that is how your display monitor works. Unfortunately, free electrons cannot exist in an electrolyte. A simple check in any chemistry text or encyclopedia shows this to be true. Here are two references: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Electrolyte Electrical conductor in which current is carried by ions rather than by free electrons (as in a metal). http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/e1/electroly.asp Oxidation-Reduction Equations An oxidizing agent (oxidant) is any substance can accept electrons (thus, itself reduced). A reducing agent (reductant) is a substance can donate electron (itself oxidized). Oxidation and reduction reactions must always coupled (free electron cannot exist in solution) http://web.njit.edu/~hsieh/ene560/General_CHem.html -------------------------------------------------------------------- Having free electrons in an electrolyte would also violate the principle of electroneutrality, and it would be impossible to write balanced equations for a chemical process. And, if free electrons could exist in an electrolyte, how could a battery work? It would immediately self-discharge. Frank's statement about electrons causing misting does not fit the observed facts. When you start the cs process using 3 nines, there is no mist. The mist does not appear until the end of the process, when the concentration of silver and hydroxyl ions is sufficient. If the mist was caused by free electrons, it would begin immediately at the anode where the silver ions are produced. Instead, it starts at the cathode, and only at the end of the process. Also, it is difficult to see how electrons could combine at the cathode to form a mist, then cross a great gulf between the cathode and anode without encountering any other silver ions, and then form another mist cloud around the anode. You can see this effect in the picture. http://www.utopiasilver.com/images/gen3.jpg So Frank's statement cannot be true based on theoretical grounds and by simple observation. Can you explain the reason for the differences? Best Regards, Mike Monett -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
