Silver preparation

Silver [7440-22-4]—The coloi additive silvei (EEC No. E 174) is a crystaUine powdei of high purity silver prepared by die reaction of silver nitrate with ferrous sulfate in the presence of nitric, phosphoric, and sulfuric acids. Poly(vinyl alcohol) is used to prevent the agglomeration of crystals and the formation of amorphous silver. 

The experiments are demonstrated and explained by two students. After work, the remaining silver preparations and their solutions are to be handed in to the laboratory assistant. 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has clamped down on colloidal-silver preparations, banning the sale of any such product that claims to deliver health benefits. Unfortunately,...

Kummer (38) measured the rate of oxidation of ethylene on single crystals of silver prepared parallel to the (111) face, nearly parallel to the (110) face, and nearly parallel to the (211) face. The relative reaction rates between faces were found to vary by a factor of 2 at the most, and the fraction of ethylene oxidized to ethylene oxide varied between 31 and 38 %. The surfaces were prepared by mechanical polishing followed by electropolishing and were determined by an electron microscope to be smooth within the limits of 100 A. 

Gold and Silver prepared for the work were called Sophie Gold and Silver. Except native gold and silver, which are sufficiently pure, these metals were first purified gold by cementation, or antimony silver by coupellation, that is to say, by lead.

It is likely that the unusual effectiveness of the silver preparations described herein is due to the relationship between the surface properties/inner properties (i.e., oxide/ metal) of the particles and the size distribution of the particles. The smaller the average particle size, the greater the surface area and the greater the contribution of the particular surface chemistry. However, if the particles are excessively small there can be a loss of stability and/or other interactions that negatively affect the product. The sifver compositions of the instant invention are remarkabie because they are stable in essentially pure water without surfactants, etc. Also, the materials are essentially colorless while other colloidal silver preparations (particularly with larger particle sizes) usually show colors. These properties are a result of the exact manufacturing conditions as discussed above. 

The most unstable form of the amorphous variety is colloidal silver, prepared by reduction of an ammoniacal or dilute alcoholic solution of silver nitrate with sodium citrate, sodium potassium tartrate, dextrin, tannin, or formaldehyde, with subsequent addition of ferrous sulphate.13 If forms a chocolate, pale-lilac, blue, or green mass, and dissolves in water to a deep-red solution. The colour depends partly on the mode of...

Argyria, also called argyrism or argyrosis, which occurs as a result of prolonged silver therapy, was first reported in 1647 [11], and was reviewed in depth by Hill and Pillsbury [11] in 1939. It presents as an irreversible grey to blue-black colouring of the skin and mucous membranes, for example, the conjunctiva, and also of internal tissue. With the decline in use of many silver preparations in therapeutics, the condition is less likely to be encountered today. However, a recent case has been reported in a 59-year old patient undergoing silver sulphadiazine therapy for recurrent venous leg ulcers [12],...

From different ways of the preparation of this electrode [92-94], the method of anodization of a silver plate (wire) or silver deposited on a Pt support in sulfide solution is advised. Also the platinum support covered by porous silver (prepared from thermal decomposition of silver oxide paste) placed into aqueous solution of hydrogen sulfide led to the formation of the Ag Ag2S system. 

The U.S.P. however use a volumetric assay which is also used by the B.P. and B.P.C. for other silver preparations.
