Hi Bob, Excellent tutorial. I haven't looked at most of this stuff for twenty years!
There's an omission from your analysis, somewhere, probably. I'm seeing some orders of magnitutde that don't quite make sense.

That also 0.5868 milligram (mgm) of silver. .028 g per 8 oz would be .112 g/quart. Using the rough approximation of a quart being equal to a liter, that's 112 milligrams/liter or 112 ppm! We only seem to actually get on the order of 5 to 20 ppm. The obvious destination for that "extra" 100 ppm that we usually *don't* get in our product is that grey sludge of silver particles and the black oxide that form on the negative and positive electrodes, respectively. We're talking maybe 10% efficiency here! I wonder if that is one effect of the use of salt as an electrolyte: greater efficiency in the conversion of bulk silver to silver colloid? Not an important issue unless you're making CS for mass market purposes and every penny counts. All of which still says nothing at all about the characteristics of the particles themselves. Good analysis, Bob. I'm looking forward to the next installment! Mike D.
