You may need at least 27 volts for the colloidal copper. I will try a run using 9 volt batteries. Maybe I can give you rough numbers of run times. - Steve N

Run current through silver electrodes in the citric acid same as you would for colloidal silver until you reach 50 ppm. Use the Faraday calculator (see below) to estimate the silver ppm. You will get higher currents if you do not have a current limiter due to the high conductivity of the citric acid solution but that is not a problem because the silver ions bind quickly with the citric acid to form silver citrate, e.g. no agglomeration problems. Add potassium carbonate, to get a pH of 5.5. Replace the silver electrodes with copper electrodes and do the same till you get the desired concentration (400 ppm) of copper citrate. Then adjust the pH of the solution to between 2.5 and 3.5 using additional citric acid. The Faraday calculator is available at: http://www.silvermedicine.org/faradaycalculator.html. To use the Faraday calculator you will need a digital multi-meter to measure the current passing through the electrodes. This link shows how to measure the current: http://www.atlasnova.com/CSMakingInfo.htm. For this application two 9 volt batteries wired to the electrodes will be ok to use since current limiting is not an issue. For the copper electrodes just use any copper wire. I make silver citrate regularly and it is very easy. If you are in a hurry and have a local beer/wine makers supply store you should be able to get citric acid and potassium carbonate there, although maybe not at the lowest price. I am not sure that the potassium carbonate is necessary but it is in the formula used in the patent. - Steve N -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
