I have tried to synthesis the Nickel nanoparticles in eatable jelly via electrochemical reduction after performing the experiment I observe the black particles which can be confirmed by characterizing them as they been synthesized or not; but problem is to separate these particles from sticky eatable jelly, please also see the attached pic. thanks if any one help me in this regard.
If the black particles are in colloidal range they will get dispersed during solution making otherwise they will settle down. And surely you can make dilute solutions in small vials to collect maximum particles through magnet if they are magnetic
Thanks for answering Farid F. Orudzhev. Please suggest commonly available organic solvent in which dissolution does not take metallic particles but selectively dissolve organic matter. Thanks
Make a solution and use a stronger Magnet along the side of wall of Falcon tube and discard the solution,you will get black ppts on the wall of falcon. and similarly wash them 2 to 3 times.
Thanks for your valuable suggestion dear Muhammad Abbas, I usually do separation of my metallic magnetic particles when I synthesize it from different routes after grinding and separation works well; here sticky nature causes problem. Now OK! on your suggestion if I make solution of this material say in water then what about black particles will they not be dissolved along with this water soluble Jell?

Thank you Muhammad Abbas for your answers. I really appreciate your understanding and solution providing to my problem.
