Marshall, you said,
The H2O2 reacts with the silver particles, producing
ionic silver
The final result is a mixture of ionic silver
(hydroxide and oxide) and very small colloidal
particles. If your CS has a large particle content,
and overall exceeds some minimum level (something over
26 ppm), then when the large particles are converted
to ionic, the ionic content can exceed the solubility
of silver oxide/hydroxide, and will produce a brown
sediment.
If you have mostly ionic in which you already have
brown suspension of the ionic precipitant, then that
will be converted to 2 atom colloid, reducing the
ionic content to under the solubility limit, and it
all then dissolves and goes clear.
Lets assume that after adding H2O2 you end up with
33% particle, and 67% ionic
What this basically says is that it does not matter
what the initial ionic vs particle content of the
batch is
These sentences are confusing. The H2O2 reacts with
the silver particles, producing ionic silver
It was
ALL ionic from the beginning. Every silver particle
had a charge.
The final result is a mixture of ionic silver
and
very small colloidal particles. ALL the particles are
ionic. The particles that are too small to be termed
colloidal also have a charge so they too are ionic.
What are you attempting to differentiate between?
If your CS has a large particle content
There is
nothing in the solution but particles. What else could
there be?
..when the large particles are converted to ionic
The large particles are already ionic, they already
have a charge.
If you have mostly ionic
I dont have MOSTLY ionic,
I have nothing but ionic.
..that will be converted to 2 atom colloid, reducing
the ionic content
So are you saying that some of the
ions will lose their charge?
Lets assume that after adding H2O2 you end up with
33% particle, and 67% ionic
So you are saying that
33% will not have a charge, and 67% will?
What this basically says is that it does not matter
what the initial ionic vs particle content of the
batch is
The batch is nothing else but ionic
particles. None of the particles are without a charge.
Can you use the same vocabulary that the rest of the
scientific world does, so I can understand what you
are saying?
