I suspect that the *solubility* of silver in plain water is extremely low, akin to that of other metals. For practical purposes, I think silver would be classified as *IN*soluble. You just won't see a lot of silver atoms floating off into the water without some help. However, silver ions could be driven off by electrolytic action, leaving individual Ag+ ions floating around. Pushing enough current through that you produce so many Ag+ ions all at once that they clump together, or are driven off as charged clumps, and you're describing our process for making CS pretty closely. Just my opinion. Mike D. [Mike Devour, Citizen, Patriot, Libertarian] [[email protected] ] [Speaking only for myself... ] -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
