Yes Kevin, But then why go to the trouble of electrically generating ionic gold when one can purchase soluble gold chloride.
Chemical reduction of gold chloride by various compounds (tannic acid, sodium citrate, etc.) as you mention is the traditional way of making commercial and batch quantities of CG, as used in large amounts by the bio-chemistry industry. With the ability to regulate a uniform particle size from about 6nm +, it would seem to be the way to go.

Ivan - suppose one used LVDC and an acid solution to produce ionic gold solution. Are there not chemical reduction methods that might not produce an acceptably fine gold colloid? I imagine rapid stirring may be needed when adding, eg, sodium carbonate (just guessing here). Traditional CG has been made that way I think. It would certainly avoid some of the Frankenstein HVAC requirements, including it seems boiling the water at times before completing a run. regards, Kevin Nolan > -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
