Electrochemical surface treatment of glass by a lead-copper melt

Abstract

Electrochemical surface treatment of a glass by lead-copper melts was investigated and the contents of the anode elements in the glass were determined. It was shown that the glass colour changes as a function of the treatment time. The variation in the content of lead and copper in the glass was established also as function of the treatment duration. Based on the data obtained a technology for the production of new materials from glass can be developed. The surface of these materials is coloured by the ions of lead and copper.
