Anything over about 110 deg F will probably cause agglomeration and the
CS will go yellow as the energy of motion overcomes the repulsive charge.
You can vaccuum distill water at a low temp or maybe even freeze dry it.
But, if you reduce water you increase saturation of ions in solution and
particles/crystals will form. Ions can't live without the water that
solvates them. What size particles? Who knows.
Try it.
Also, as water decreases oxidation of the ions increases.
If you completely dry ionic CS, it will stain the surface brown or black
with silver oxides.

would heating CS harm it.
I want to try to concentrate CS via distillation.
