Hey Roger.... I have not commented on your chemistry equation because frankly it has been ages since I've done so - my own competency would hardly indicate anything. I think the effort put forth is extraordinary and I was waiting to see if anyone would challenge it.
I do, however, have an associate that I know on staff at Purdue University, who is an extremely capable chemist. With your permission, I'd like to forward your data and conclusions on. Sometimes it takes ages to hear back from him, and sometimes he does not have the time to delve deeply into a topic, but I figure it may be worth the effort.

And dissolved oxygen/ozone, some nitrates, CO2 and such are always present to some small degree to account for being able to go over the limit a bit. Ken Ken: You said, "And dissolved oxygen/ozone, some nitrates, CO2 and such are always present to some small degree to account for being able to go over the limit a bit." My calculations clearly indicate that this conclusion is false. Professor Maass arrived at an incorrect conclusion because he initiated his calculations at an incorrect starting point. The CORRECT starting point is to ASSUME that a typical LVDC product is in equilibrium with air, and the pH of the CS product is representative of this TOTAL equilibrium (This is how I INITIATED my earlier calculations). THEN you set up your RELEVANT equations and solve them. I would love to conduct a tutorial about how to determine the solubility of ionic silver in a typical LVDC product. At the moment I feel totally frustrated that not one person on this list knows what the hell I'm talking about. Any thoughts about how I should proceed would be greatly appreciated. Roger
