I am making up some CS for a vet who wants it H2O2 energized. Previously on this list we have discussed exactly what H2O2 does when added to brewed EIS (CS). Basically the action is fairly complex, and can result in clearing yellow cs, and in other cases clouding clear cs, depending on the colloidal content, the ionic content, and the amount of hydrogen peroxide added. I will be analyzing the addition of 3% H2O2, if you are using 35% then then amount used should be cut by slightly over 10:1.
H2O2 has the unique property of combining with the colloidal component of EIS, making silver oxide AND reacting with silver oxide producing colloidal particles of only 2 atoms each releasing oxygen. If during this time the amount of silver oxide exceeds the solubility limit of about 13 ppm*, the solution may become cloudy. If the EIS has color, this will also typically disappear if the solubility limit of the silver oxide is not exceeded. At this time is is unclear what the stochastic are of the two reactions. They likely do depend on H2O2 concentration, and possibly temperature or other factors. However an analysis of the chemistry does indicate that one does not want an excessive amount of H2O2 once it is mixed with anything else or taken internally. The reason for this is that as long as there is any remaining H2O2 there is a continuous conversion back and forth between silver particles and silver oxide, and if you mix it with anything that has a chlorine component (saliva, stomach acid, blood), the silver oxide immediately becomes silver chloride and is no longer available to make particles, and if over about .8 ppm, will precipitate out. This will stop the conversion of the ionic portion to the particulate portion, but will not stop the particulate to the ionic, thus causing the colloidal portion to decrease while the silver chloride increases over time. This is one reason for the recommendation to let it sit for 5 or so minutes before taking, to hopefully allow the excess H2O2 to be used up. So what we want to add is probably something on the order of the amount of H2O2 that represents a 5:1 to 10:1 ratio of molecules of H2O2 to silver atoms. The reason why we want an excess over 1:1 are twofold. First we start with about 90% ionic, and 10% colloidal, but the particles are much larger than 2 atoms each. We must break down the larger particles which is going to use up some of the needed H2O2 to convert them to silver oxide first. But even more importantly, as we convert 2 atom silver oxide to silver particles, 2 atom silver particles are being converted back to silver oxide. So we have an exponential rate of change over time with increasing particle content, where the final result is approached exponentially. This basically means we will need an excess of H2O2 to get anywhere near the highest conversion to particles, an excess which I estimate to be on the order of 5:1 to 10:1. Now for some numbers. 60 drops = 1 teaspoon 48 teaspoons = 1 cup = 8 oz 16 cups = 1 gallon mw of silver = 108 mw of H2O2 = 34 10 ppm of silver in water will require 3.14 (10*34/108) ppm of H2O2 to have an equal number ot atoms of silver vs molecules of H2O2. One cup of EIS will contain 2880 drops, so 3.14*2880/(.03*1000000) = 0.3 drops of 3% H2O2 would correspond to a equal number of molecules of H2O2 vs silver atoms. A 5:1 to 10:1 excess would indicate the optimum amount of 3% H2O2 added to a cup of 10 ppm CS would be 1.5 to 3 drops. This agrees very well with the experimental results people have reported here that an effective ratio is a couple of drops per glassful. That works out to about 1/2 teaspoon per gallon. Of course 20 ppm CS would require twice those values. * silver oxide spontaneously hydrates to silver hydroxide, which spontaneously dehydrates back to silver oxide. The result is that normally one will have approximately equal amounts of both giving a total solubility limit of the two of them of about 26 ppm total (13 ppm each).
