El oro coloidal es un líquido cuyo color varía del rojo/rosado a un color púrpura. Ningún otro color es aceptable, pues evidenciaría algún componente agregado. Cuando el oro metálico se divide homogéneamente en partículas de tamaños que van de uno a cien billonésimas partes de un metro y dichas partículas son permanentemente suspendidas en la solución, el mineral se convierte en el producto conocido como coloidal y exhibe nuevas propiedades debido a una mayor superficie de oro disponible. 2, record 1, Spanish, - oro%20coloidal

Electrolytic processes(...) fall into two groups : those using an aqueous electrolyte, and those using a fused salt electrolyte maintained at a high temperature. In both, the electrolyte contains a compound that dissociates into metallic ions that are positively charged and therefore move to, and are deposited on, the cathode.(...) Aqueous electrolysis is employed to refine most of the copper recovered by smelting and to produce lead, gold, silver and several less common metals in exceptionally pure form. 1, record 6, English, - aqueous%20electrolysis
