Colloidal Silver Production / Re: availability of Soda and capping agents

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.
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.
@ baking powder: I looked up what the local baking powders are made of.
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.
