Happy New Years Listers,
There has been much discussion about the use of H2O2 when added to your
silver hydrosol.
Therefore I setup an experiment today to provide some positive answers to the
question.
Using the product of a 2 gallon microwave power supply brew made on 11-9-05
that was a light yellow color but clear. Tested on 11-10-05 and retested today
before and after adding 5 drops of 35& H2O2 to a one gallon jug.
Test data for 11-10-05: Ag+ =8.6 PPM; Conductance = 10.3 uS/cm
Retest; on 1-2-06: Ag+= 8.58 PPM; conductance = 8.3 uS/cm
Test data after the addition of 5 drops of 35% H2O2 per gallon.
The yellow color completely disappeared and then the test data taken.
1-2-06 Ag+ = 8.58 PPM; Conductance = 9.4 uS/cm.
The addition of the H2O2 does create a slight astringent taste but it is
masked with the addition of Gatorade.
Conclusion: Since the measurable concentration (PPM) did not change with the
addition of the H2O2 the color change must be due to change in particle shape.
If there had been a splitting of agglomerated silver ions then the PPM should
have increased.
