Bubbling sounds attractive from the standpoint of simplicity; considerably less
effort than building a decent stirrer arrangement. However it would seem to
present a potential problem re oxygenating the water (which after all is what
fish tank bubblers are all about). Could this convert a substantial portion of
the CS (ionic and/or particulate) into silver oxide, which by all and sundry is
deemed an ineffective form? If the oxide is stable and fine enough, presumably
the solution would remain clear - ie no tell-tale signs to go by. Please, no
"bubbled CS works fine for me" stuff - maybe you just left enough silver to do
the job, but lost 90% of what was potentially there. What is needed is input
from some folks with real knowledge of the relevant chemistry. Any takers?
