Jason and Paula, You don't need to have silver flakes, any elemental particles will be ionised by H2O2. The process generates O2 gas, and it is these very tiny gas bubbles which turn the CS cloudy or turbid. They will dissipate in time, and if you have added enough H2O2, the CS will become a crystal clear solution of dissolved silver ions.

Paula: Chances are you had some tiny silver flakes in your colloidal silver, or a significant amount of larger particles. The H2O2 starts to break the silver down, and thus can cause turbitity. A slightly yellow colloidal silver without any silver flakes will rapidly turn upon adding the H2O2.

Hi all, I decided to try putting some 3% peroxide in CS (16 drops to just over a quart of CS) and it immediately turned very milky/cloudy. Is this normal? If it isn't normal what happened? This particular batch of CS had turned out fairly yellow..... TIA, paula -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
