Gas phase transport of gold with gold(III) oxide and carbon monoxide.
A transport reaction of gold occurs during the reaction of Au2O3 with CO at temperatures around 400 degrees C. The reaction proceeds through a short-lived gas phase species of Au; analysis of quartz powder substrates placed downstream of the AU2O3 indicates volatilisation yields of a few wt% AU2O3.
