160 Ralf Steudel Fig. 1 Schematic model for the composition of the particles in hydrophilic sulfur sols consisting of long-chain polythionates Sn(SO3􏱐)2 and sulfur homocycles Sn The average density of the sol particles has been determined both before and after precipitation. For the dissolved particles a value of 1.92 g cm􏱐3 has been found at 16 􏰹C [30, 36] which is close to the density of liquid sulfur when extrapolated to 16 􏰹C [37]. A value of 1.9 g cm􏱐3 was obtained for sol particles precipitated by K+ or Ba2+ ions, while coagulation by Na+ ions yields particles with densities of between 1.2 and 1.4 g cm􏱐3 [36]. Evidently, the sodium salts of Raffo sol particles contain considerable amounts of H2O molecules and therefore can be peptized in water while the more or less water-free potassium and barium salts do not re-dissolve in water. The reversible coagulation of Raffo sols is strongly temperature depen- dent. The higher the temperature the more “soluble” the particles are. In other words, peptization is promoted by increasing temperatures, and since this dependence is exponential an increase in temperature T from 10 􏰹C to just 17 􏰹C may result in an increase in sulfur concentration c in the aqueous phase by a factor of 1000 (at a NaCl concentration of 0.101 mol l􏱐1) [14]. OdØn has shown that Raffo sols can be separated into fractions of differ- ing particle size by fractional precipitation with increasing concentrations of NaCl. As larger the particles as less NaCl is needed for precipitation [38]. Under special conditions monodispersed Raffo sols of particle size between 0.1 and 1.0 mm can be prepared directly from very dilute aqueous thiosulfate and sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid without fractionation. These sols are characterized by higher order Tyndall spectra [39]. Several authors [12, 40] prepared Raffo sols free of cations other than H3O+ by removing the sodium ions by electrodialysis and studied the prop-
