Abstract:
1. A substantially continuous process for forming gold nanoparticles in at least one liquid comprising: flowing at least one liquid comprising water through at least one trough member, said at least one flowing liquid having an upper surface and a flow direction and said at least one flowing liquid further comprising at least one processing enhancer comprising at least one material from the group consisting of NaHCO providing at least one plasma-forming electrode; creating at least one plasma between said at least one plasma-forming electrode and at least a portion of said upper surface of said at least one flowing liquid contacting at least one set of electrodes comprising gold with said at least one flowing liquid, and said at least one set of electrodes being located downstream in said flow direction from said at least one plasma-forming electrode; and causing at least one electrochemical reaction to occur at said at least one set of electrodes comprising gold to produce at least some gold nanoparticles within said at least one flowing liquid.
