Final note to James: The most important difference between ionic silver and silver particles is that ionic silver forms silver chloride when exposed to chloride ions. Silver particles do not.
Simple test to demonstrate this: Add one drop of diluted hydrochloric acid (HCL) to a glass full of ionic silver. The white cloud that forms is the silver chloride. Within minutes, the chloride ions from the HCL will precipitate all the silver ions, within seconds if the solution is stirred. HCL does not affect silver particles only silver ions. That is the difference. Seeing it work should help in understanding the process. frank key -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
