>From what I can determine, the ionic will reach the maximum solubility, which is around 25 ppm, plus any from dissolved CO2, and from that point either a precipitate will form of silver oxide or the nanosilver portion will continue to increase. There does not appear to be a hard limit on the amount of silver that can in the nonosilver particle portion like there is for the molecular ionic portion. The amount that can stay in suspension depends on a number of things, including particle size, particle shape, zeta, temperature and pH of the water. Frank Key may have a better feeling for what concentrations pure colloidal can sustain without instability. Marshall -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
