Ivan: Thanks for taking the time to "oil this rusty gate." I'll be going off line to study your electrochemical reactions and reasoning. In the meantime, perhaps you could explain that since, "There is a net OH- increase from reaction (3). As reaction (2) does not take place because of the high potential, there are no H+ ions to offset the OH- and form water," why doesn't the pH rise above 7 in the CS product? Most LVDC CS products have a pH between 5 & 7. Isn't that correct? BTW, don't the anodic and cathodic silver reactions have an over voltage as well? How much is each one?
