Friends,
I sent this message several days ago but am imagining it may not have
been delivered.......
I've recently come across some info on a way of treating a ceramic water filter
with silver nitrate, then reducing to silver metal, similar to what's done with
mirroring. But I'm hoping some of our worthy members here may be able to fill
me in the information I lack on reagents,
amounts and procedures. Please.
I recently came across a 1972, Indian purblication with partial explanation of
the use of 'an ammoniacal solution of silver nitrate reduced with
acetaldehyde,' then kiln firing in reduced oxygen, to achieve a silver ceramic
bond. We are quite familiar with this last step in kiln firing, and now we
have the acetaldehyde in hand. But how to combine these materials and process
is what we are not sure of. Can anybody give some ideas for a starting point
in our adopting this methodology?
Thanks,
Reid
