Colloidal Tellurium.—On reduction of dilute solutions of tellurium dioxide or telluric acid by means of hydrazine, hydroxylamine, hypo-phosphorous acid, sulphurous acid or salts of these compounds, brown or blue colloidal solutions can be obtained, the stability of which is greatly increased by the presence of an organic colloid such as gum arabic, sodium lysalbate or sodium protalbate.8 Similarly the addition of an extract of the seeds of Plantago psyllium, in amount not exceeding 0-3 per cent., renders extremely stable the sols obtained by the reduction of telluric acid with hydrazine hydrate.9 Stable sols may also be obtained by the reduction of telluric acid with dextrose in the presence of ammonia. Dialysis does not completely remove the adsorbed dextrose and this undoubtedly contributes to the remarkable stability.10 The particles of colloidal tellurium in these sols are negatively charged.
