That is interesting. Well, that leads to another idea. If magnets can cause ions to migrate, that could possibly be used to make a super high ion concentration product. Picture a mason jar with CS with a strong magnets on the bottom. Imagine if the magnets caused the ions to migrate to the bottom of the jar. One could then take a syringe and suck off the top 90% of the water very slowly. That 90% of the CS can be reprocessed to make more CS. But that last 10% could be up to 10 times more concentrated assuming all the ions where there.
Then say you let it settle some more and hopefully the ions huddle in closer to the magnet again. Then yo such off another 90% of the water. This leaves 1/100th the original volume (just 10ml). But who knows. Could one get 1000PPM EIS that way? Or perhaps silver would plate out by the magnet? Or perhaps a better approach would be put the magnet on the top of the jar, and then use a syringe to remove the separate the 10% with the ions at the top? Just dreaming. David And might as well hear what Mike M. had to say magnets: "When you move charges in a magnetic field, a force is generated that wants to move the charges at right angles to the field. Positive ions would go one way, negative ions would go the opposite direction. If the field is uniform, they end up wanting to go in circles. This is called the Lorentz force and is an extremely important topic for anything to do with electromagnetism. You can see the direction the charge wants to move by scolling down to the second figure where it start with "Trajectory of a particle.." in this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_force The problem is the force that is generated is proportional to the velocity of the charges. Since the drift velocity is so slow in a cs brew, the force is negligible, and the magnet would have little effect."
