I dunno much about RO systems but its not simply about the membrane. It
also takes a lot of pressure to make them work. Is a bit of electrical
current going to draw a silver ion through a membrane? I have my doubts.
'Ion exchange' deionising and demineralising systems are interesting too.

As I understand, silver ions are about 0.13 nanometers in diameter and
that is right in the range of pore size in reverse osmosis filters.
Clusters of hundreds to thousands of silver atoms would be much larger,
in the 10s to hundreds of nanometers in diameter. So R.O. membranes
should do nicely.

Could a RO membrane perform a similar function?

I think these ideas could be tested by placing a
semipermeable membrane between the electrodes that would
pass silver ions, but have too small pore size to pass
colloidal particles. Then a laser beam could find out where
the visible colloidal particles are concentrated.
