I believe CG's colour should be pale purple through red and then to deep
blue with increasing gold concentration. I don't know if particle size would
effect the concentration.
One method that's used to produce CG is an underwater high voltage arc
between gold electrodes seperated by about 1/4". A neon sign transformer
typically is used as it has the characteristic of being effectively current
limited and able to produce enough voltage to keep the arc sustained.
Commercial neon sign transformer are limited in the range of 20 to 120mA,
with the most common units being 30 mA. It has been mentioned to me that
15Kv (15 thousand volt) neon sign transformer with 60mA capacity is what
gives good results. These neon sign transformers have an alternating (AC)
output. The high voltage (15Kv) would, I assume, start the arc, and then the
neon sign transformer will adjust output voltage to some lower voltage to
keep it's current limited output going through the arc. Electrode spacing
apparently has some effect on current as well. In a previous post, it was
said that keeping the gold electrodes small was required to sustain the arc.
I believe, the arc, in effect, releases colloidal gold particles. This
method also uses distilled water that's cooled and kept in motion during
the process; a bit different than the process described by akaJhon.
BTW, I've received many responses to my query about creation of a colloidal
gold discussion grup. They are all encouraging me to setup this list, so
I'll proceed. It's been suggested by several that moderation is essential
for such a group for various reasons. More details to follow.
Thanks!
Brian.
