I have found that copper doesn't make a hydrosol and won't exceed around 3 uS conductivity.
It's a true metallic colloid and will oxidize into a blue grey sediment in a few weeks.

Hi Dan,


Interesting work. I have seen similiar work for silver using math to arrive at a PPM designation.
But my question is how can we account for the formation of oxides i.e Ag0 or Cu0?


Tomorow I will order the chenicals to go with my spectrophotometer to measure the Cu+1 ion.
I will have to find a standard to measure against as I have for the silver ion.


Next question for what and how do we use copper hydrosol.
