Colloidal Silver Production / Re: availability of Soda and capping agents
« Last post by kephra on Today at 12:01:22 PM »Thank you for your reply. Makes sense what you say about moving silver between the electrodes. In fact the local consensus is (can you call it "consensus" if nobody has an explanation?) that it is not known why there is no sludge build-up at the cathode and what and if there is a difference between a clear and a yellow ahem liquid.Whoever you have bee listening to does not know what they are talking about.

Indeed, the product I gain from this mode tastes very metallic and has a strong Tyndall effect - which is supposed to be "good", until I learned more here. Also, there is a considerable dark fall-out.So what you made is overcooked ionic silver, the kind that turns people blue. This also tells me that your generator is useless for making quality colloidal silver.

@ baking powder: I looked up what the local baking powders are made of.Baking powder is not baking soda, also called bicarbonate of soda. Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate, and I can't imagine a country that does not have it available. Baking powder is not good because of the other ingredient in it.
They usually consist of one or more carbonates an/or bicarbonates, acid salts like disodium hydrogen phosphate or potassium acid tartrate. Plus starch or oats fibers up to 65% as bulk agent. Sometimes they contain lemon extract for taste and acidifying and artificial vanilla.
Eminently acceptable for a cake, but for making Colloidal Silver? I`ll rather get some carbonate from a chemistry dealer and be on the safe side. They have it 99,7% pure. Ironically, this is far cheaper than getting the small envelopes in the supermarket.
When a cake with baking soda is baked, the baking soda turns into washing soda (sodium carbonate), and if you have ever eaten cake, you have consumed washing soda.
