It would seem that there is a belief that silver dissolves in water. If that were so, then a simple test would be to place metallic silver in pure water for some period of time and then test the water for presents for silver ions.
Atomic absorption could detect silver ions down to about 50 parts per billion. So the question is what should the protocol be for a silver dissolving test using AAS. An alternative approach would be to weigh the silver before and after. One could argue that even a 5 place lab balance does not have resolution high enough to read the value of silver lost in dissolving. A five place balance reads to 10 micro grams. Would anyone care to propose how such a test should be conducted? frank key -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
