The desalination of ceramics using a semi-automated continuous washing station

The soaking of ceramics in changes of water to remove soluble salts can be a slow and laborious undertaking. A simple method is proposed to set up a w ashing station that recycles the wash water by pumping it through a deioniz ing column. The small water-circulating pump can be turned on or off as req uired by the soaking procedure, and tanks of different sizes can be used to accommodate large or small ceramics.
