Application: Production of colloidal silver
What is colloidal silver?
Colloidal
silver
is
made
of
extremely
small
silver
particles.
A
silver
colloid
particles is about 60,000 times smaller than a red blood cell.
How long will the silver electrodes last?
For
about
5,000
liters
of
Colloidal
Silver
(50
ppm).
The
electrodes
are
gradually
dissolving.
The
silver
wires
are
supplied
with
high
purity,
ie
consist
of
99.99%
silver, 2mm in diameter, 90 mm long, hardened (do not bend so easily).
What water should I use?
The
purest
colloidal
silver
is
made
with
distilled
water
(purified
water
from
the
pharmacy),
but
also
reverse
osmosis
filtered
water
will
work.
The
purer
the
water,
the
smaller
the
current,
the
smaller
the
colloid
particles,
the
greater
its
surface
area
and
their
(antibacterial)
effect.
But
many
report
excellent
effectiveness of even mere tap water.
Should I stirr or heat the water?
Heating
increases
the
conductivity
and
thus
the
electrolysis
process.
Stirring
helps
to
avoid
particle
clumping
in
the
conductive
particle
cloud
between
the
electrodes.
Only
distilled
water
should
be
heated
(30-80°
C),
if
time
matters.
The
miniSilver is powerful enough to give good results at room temperature.
How should I store colloidal silver?
Protect
it
from
light,
but
don’t
store
it
in
the
fridge.
It
is
preferable
to
use
freshly
produced silver.
Which mA (Amperage) should be used?
Another
source
states
that
the
best
colloidal
silver
is
made
by
using
an
electrode
(anode)
current
of
0.15
mA
/
cm
2
.
The
surface
of
the
2*90
mm
rod
(as
used
with
the
miniSilver®
colloidal
silver
generator)
is
5.6
cm
2
,
that
is
around
5
cm
2
in
water,
which
would
require
a
constant
current
of
0.75
mA.
The
Secondly
it
is
best
to
limit
the
concentration
of
the
colloid
at
any
point,
so
it
is
best
to
stir
it
as
well.
Which ppm concentration works best?
Opinions
differ
greatly.
We
think
10
ppm
are
sufficient.
More
than
15
ppm
are
said to tend to clumping of colloids and silver ions.
How can I measure the ppm concentration?
Because
colloids
are
electrically
non-conductive,
they
can
only
be
measured
optically.
If
you
use
a
ppm
meter
,
you
can
determine
only
the
80-85%
silver
ions,
which
are
always
produced
simultaneously
with
colloids
.
The
ppm
of
all
silver
particles
(ions
and
colloids)
would
therefore
be
calculated
as
[final
ppm
reading
-
initial
ppm
reading]
*
1.2.
The
ppm
of
the
colloids
alone
would
be
[final
- initial] * 0.2.
Can I determine the concentration by taste?
Sure!
10
ppm
taste
slightly
bitter.
We
recommend
that
you
go
by
the
taste,
if
you
don’t
have
a
ppm
meter
(it
should
simply
slightly
metallic,
noticeable,
but
not
too strong).
Can I measure the particle size of colloids?
With
a
laser
pointer,
even
light
smoke
becomes
visible.
The
Tyndall
Effect
is
caused
by
reflection
of
light
by
very
small
particles
in
suspension
in
a
trasnparent
medium.
It
will
increase
to
the
third
power
of
particle
size
(measured
in
nm
=
nano
meter)
for
any
given
concentration,
so
a
weaker
beam
indicates
smaller
particles.
The
brightness
of
a
laser
beam
in
a
solution
of
1
ppm
/
10
nm
is
100
times
higher,
compared to 10 ppm / 1 nm, although it has 10 times lower ppm!
It
is
generally
accepted
that
only
clear
to
light
gold
silver
colloids
have
particle
sizes
small
enough
to
be
effective.
Ionic
silver
has
an
absorption
band
in
the
uv,
and
thus
is
virtually
clear.
As
more
atoms
aggregate
into
a
particle,
the
absorption
band
moves
from
the
uv
into
the
violet,
blue,
green,
yellow,
orange
and
red.
Since
the
color
of
a
substance
is
the
complement
of
the
color
absorbed
colloidal
silver
will
go
from
clear
to
very
light
yellow,
gold,
orange,
red,
blue
and
green.
Colloids
that
contain
a
broad
range
of
sizes
can
absorb
wavelengths
across the spectrum resulting in brown and black.
Does it need a separate control electronics?
Not
really.
The
purpose
of
additional
electronics
is
primarily
the
increase
of
voltage,
and
the
miniSilver®
has
it
already
integrated
in
the
switching
power
supply.
Although
the
miniSilver
does
not
provide
a
constant
current
control,
this
is
not
necessary,
because
even
with
an
exponential
increase
in
conductivity,
you
get
sufficiently
good
results,
if
you
stop
the
process
in
time
(only
slight
milky
particle
clouds
visible).
Our
philosophy
is
to
keep
devices
simple
and
yet
affordable. See the

Advantages of mini silver®
•
Can be used with all levels of silver bars and gold
bars (because he has alligator clips)
