I'm still alive, can you believe this crazy year/last year we have had... unreal. hope all of you are doing good and staying safe and healthy...
----------------------------------
i'm going to put forth an idea i have... not tested..
gold can form a colloid, and has stability and resistance to aggregation
this gold colloid goes through filters, nano-meter range nm, is unseen, and is almost impossible to get to... or is there???
is there a way to simply break up the colloid to form an aggregate? which could then be dealt with due to size and clumping?
many on the boards say...where's my gold? it might still be their, just really really small.
possible solution... Add Salt -NaCI
gold particles in colloidal solutions are negatively charged, so they repel each other. they cannot clump together.
salt shields negative charges, causing clumping.
colloidal gold should change color (blue) because of change of light
spectra. (from the nm range) as it begins to clump
the aggregation of colloidal gold should increase with temperature increase... don't know but that needs testing...
note: citric acid is what produces, creates colloidal gold into nano-particals from 2-100nm or so...
you may be throwing gold out in solution (that tests don't even see) that nothing can see, but it's there in the liquid colloid form.
test: if you have a liquid that you believe has colloidal gold, do a test-tube test with some salt, try cooling it in the freezer or heating it a bit... see if it changes color, or if you have a spectrum meter, measure the light before and after... mostly look for changes in the blue-violet-ultraviolet between 100-500nm range.
hope to hear some results.
thanks in advance.
