EIS 1] Dissolved silver oxides of various configurations. 2] Dissolved silver hydroxides. 3] Suspended silver oxides when the concentration exceeds the saturation point of dissolved silver oxides. 4] Suspended silver hydroxides when the concentration exceeds the saturation point of dissolved silver hydroxides. 5] "Some" pure metallic silver particles. 6] A mixture of crystaline formations that may contain one, two or all of the above suspended solids with one form dominating according to EIS making procedure.
..all of which stay suspended if they meet the 'max and under' size parameters of the definition of a colloid. Some percentage of crystaline forms may be too small to refract visible wavelengths of light. High concentration zones can make crystals form before the whole of the water becomes saturated. Once a crystal is formed, it doesn't tend to dissolve back into solution. Color and hue of color is dominantly, but not entirely due to particle size. Energetic content [heat] can cause these crystaline forms to collide and grow larger before they are fully formed and stable and cold can cause them to fall out of suspension after they are stable. Hydrogen peroxide can de-nucleate a crystal and break it apart, resulting in variations of TE effects from getting more dense to vanishing completely as particles reduce to invisible sizes, but conductivity stays pretty much the same showing that they did not 'dissolve' into solution for the most part. Since peroxide makes certain silver oxides 'vanish' and peroxide also makes that yellow or red color vanish, both from the water and from colored deposits that may be stuck to the sides of the container... that nucleus in a dark hued crystaline form is 'probably' a silver oxide particle where color comes, both, from size and from content. Some small amounts of Hydrogen Peroxide might be made and destroyed during the process in some locations, amount depending on the process parameters being used, further complicating things. No "free" ions exist after a few hours as evidenced by the time sensitive various catalytic actions of hydrogen peroxide...turning it brown cloudy/ white cloudy to not cloudy at all, an increase of TE or a decrease to zero TE... or, zero effect.... depending on when and how much is added to what. That said, using very fresh EIS seems to have a dramatically different effect. There are no simple answers. It's not 'This or That', it's a variety of 'This, That AND Something Else... added to a surprise clumped with an unknown stray environmental element'. No two batches are exactly the same, but you can tweek the process for a dominance probability 'fairly' repeatably. ..and it all seems to work. Some variation ranges seem to work better for one thing and another variation for another thing. Note the words, "Ranges" and "Variations". No matter what is DOING something in a particular application, there's some content of that in there. What DOESN'T do something is irrelevent in a given particular application. Experimenting is worthwhile to tweek for max effect in a given application. EIS is a dynamic liquid and making it is a dynamic process. Dynamic means, you'll never nail it down. The wind is dynamic. If you do nail it down, it's no longer wind. But that doesn't mean you can't use it. EIS is like an idea in an imagination bottle. ..in my case..an image in a gin bottle idea. [I don't drink gin..well, I did drink enough to get a bottle for my EIS and find out why I don't drink gin.] Ouch! How can something that tastes so good, hurt so bad, before it even gets done tasting so good? Ode -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
