Protection of Colloids
Lyophobic sols such as those of metals like gold, silver etc. can be easily precipitated by the addition of a small amount of electrolytes.
They can be prevented from coagulation by the previous addition of some stable lyophilic colloids like gelatin, albumin, etc. This is because when a lyophilic sol is added to the lyophobic sol, the lyophilic particles form a layer around the lyophobic particles and this protect them from electrolytes.
If a small amount of gelatin is added to gold sol, it is not readily precipitated by the addition of sodium chloride. This process of protecting the lyophobic colloidal solutions from precipitation by the electrolytes due to the previous addition of some lyophilic colloid is called protection. The colloid which is added to prevent coagulation of the colloidal sol is called protecting colloid.
