Adding salt to a solution consisting of silver ions and some silver particles will cause the silver ions to precipitate out as silver chloride. If left to settle for a few days the silver chloride will eventually settle to the bottom. The remaining liquid could be decanted off the top leaving the silver chloride behind. The liquid would no longer contain silver ions, only silver particles along with sodium ions and chloride ions in the liquid. It is not clear what the benefit would be from doing this. The silver ions in home brewed ionic silver solutions are low enough in concentration that they do not pose an argyria risk. This would result in approximately the same, or slightly less, concentration of silver particles than you started with. frank key > I remain agnostic on the whole matter given the absence of answers to > these questions.
