I forgot to add this: http://www.tutorvista.com/content/chemistry/chemistry-iii/hydrogen/hydro gen-peroxide-properties.php
"Reducing properties In the presence of other oxidizing agents, hydrogen peroxide acts as a reducing agent. This is because it can take up an atom of oxygen to give water and oxygen gas. It reduces silver oxide to silver. Ag20 + H2O2 ----> 2Ag + H2O + O2" - Steve -----Original Message----- From: Norton, Steve [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 9:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: CS>tyndall again From http://www.h2o2.com/applications/industrialwastewater/photowaste.html: "Silver Recovery Ionic silver is precipitated by hydrogen peroxide primarily as metallic silver. The reaction is: 2 Ag+ + H2O2 ----> 2 Ag0 + H2O + 1/2 O2 The weight ratio of hydrogen peroxide to silver, based on the above equation, is 0.15 to 1.0. Tests have shown that the silver content can be reduced to less than 0.1 microgram/L using hydrogen peroxide treatment." This following links do not add much to the question of what actually happens when you combine H2O2 with CS but they are informative: H2O2 and Colloidal Silver http://www.silvermedicine.org/h2o2.html Commentary on Hydrogen Peroxide ( H2O2 ) and Colloidal Silver http://www.silvermedicine.org/h2o2archives.html - Steve N -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
