Hi colloidal gold Forum,
This is my first post (aside from intro). I have a question.
First i am very happy to be here as it is seem the best forum where there is no ego, no people trying to sell products and everyone is in sharing and learning spirit.
Without yet having read the 1000's of posts here has any one used the following method to make stable colloidal gold successfully.
The reason why i like the method below is it is damn fast. But unfortunately not very successfully.
Equipment
1. stainless still pot ( 1 litre)
2. 100 VDC with 2 AMPS current supply
3. 1/2 litre distill water + 1/2 litre soda water
4. add 10 mls of mineral water
5. add 3 drops of H2O2 3% after 10 min
In approx 15min you have 1 litre of colloidal gold (guessing 50 ppm - 100 ppm)
Ok, you have a lot going wrong here.
First, forget the soda water. Soda water contains carbonic acid, and gold will not react with carbonic acid. The only thing gold will react with (except cyanide and aqua regia) is chlorine.
Second, forget the peroxide. It is too harsh a reducing agent, and leads to large particle sizes.
Third, that's a lot of power, perhaps too much.
Fourth, mineral water has a lot of unknown ingredients which will harm your process.
You need sodium chloride so the electrolysis can produce gold chloride. Nothing else works. I know there is a certain individual selling gold machines and telling people to use soda water. However, most people can only get it to work at all with certain brands of soda water. This is because some of the brands have residual chlorine in them from purifying the water. It is chlorine which makes it work.
Also, you need heat. To make good colloidal gold, your process must be kept near boiling temperature.
So electrolysis of a gold anode with salt makes gold chloride.
Then the gold chloride has to be reduced to gold metal nanoparticles. For over 50 years, this has been sodium citrate, but I have found other materials work even better. Cinnamon extract, maltodextrin etc. Read the articles I have posted.
I know the above maybe brutal but it is fast however unless you drinking the colloidal gold quickly it has fall out majority of times after 24-28 hrs.
Any thoughts ideas how to refine this process to make it more stable would be appreciated. I read about the cinnamon method and i like this as i read some scientist discovered this a few years back to make colloidal gold using cinnamon.
I have attached some pictures.
