Summary

The migration velocities of the boundary of As2S3 and Fe(OH)3 sols have been measured under constant current. A new set up for measuring the movement of the boundary under constant current has been devised. The changes in the boundary movement with time have been observed under constant current condition and it has been discussed and suggested that measurements of cataphoretic velocity of colloidal particles under constant current is theoretically more cogent than the measurements taken under constant voltage, because the changes in the resistance shown by the changes in the potential developed across the different elements in the U-tube at constant current give a more correct picture of what happens in the cataphoretic tube when cataphorisis takes place. A potentio-valve-voltmeter has been employed to measure the instantaneous changes of voltage across the mainU-tube without any time lag. This is a new device which has not been tried before.

Zusammenfassung

Die Wanderungsgeschwindigkeit an der Grenze von As2S3 and FeOH3-Solen wurde gemessen, und zwar bei konstantem Strom. Eine neue Methode zur Messung der Wanderung bei konstantem Strom wird vorgeschlagen. Die Veränderungen der Bewegung der Grenze mit der Zeit werden diskutiert, und es wird vermutet, daß Messungen der kataphoretischen Geschwindigkeit von Kolloidpartikeln bei konstantem Strom theoretisch mehr Aussagen geben als Messungen bei konstanter Spannung, weil Widerstandsänderungen in den einzelnen Teilabschnitten des Kataphoreserohres bei konstantem Strom ein korrekteres Bild gibt.

Ein Potentialröhrenvoltmeter wurde für die Messung des Spannungsabfalls angewendet, so daß zeitliche Änderungen verzögerungsfrei aufgezeichnet werden konnten.
