Thanks for the reply. I was making a quart, and the current varied a little bit between .2 and .3, it seems to me the average was .23mA- I can't find my production notes, just my calc, and that is what I wrote in the formula. The electrodes are fine silver wire 10 gauge, 5& 1/4 inches submerged, spacing is 2 inches. I am using a Frito bean dip can to hold the light similar to what you described.
I think what I'm going to do next is use half of what I made before, and fill it up with distilled water, then crank it up to 1mA, see if it goes faster this time- and what I end up with ppm-wise. I read some discussion of particle size being related to Tyndall effect, and when I started the Tyndall was what I used to tell if it was ok. Now maybe that means the particles are larger? Is there a consensus about whether Tyndall is important in making this stuff? I was trying to keep the particle size down, and the other stuff to a minmum (silver oxides and like that). Kathryn ________________________________________________________ Hi Kathryn. I dont know if this got posted to the list or not so I will repost. Need more info. What size batch are we taking about? What was the current .2-,3 or ,275 mA? What are you using for Electrodes and what size. Whats the spacing on the electrodes. At .275 mA I would run the batch 24 hours per quart with electrode spacing of 1.5 inch's using a total of 12 inch's of 12 gauge wire (6 inch's per electrode).. If you take a peanut can , drill a one inch hole in the top center and a one inch hole in the side, put the light bulb in the hole in the side and the cs on top, this will work good on a short glass jar. The thermal stirring wont go above 5 inch's or so. The batches I make = 50 ppm or so on the Faraday calculations but some of the silver is left on the electrodes or on the glass container. The cs stays clear most of the time. Faraday calculations work but their are many of other factors involved to produce a good CS. Stirring is very important as is current control per sq inch of electrodes. Ode from silver puppy sells a magnetic stirrer of which has solved many of my problems, I have used very low current before with somewhat good results. I prefer to use 1 mA of current per 12 inch's of 12 or 14 gauge wire or .5mA per square inch of total wet electrodes. Hope this helps. Sam L.

I changed 2 of the parameters, adding a light bulb under the jar as a thermal stirrer, and I lowered the current to .2-.3 mA. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Any questions?
