CsNO3 solubility

Submitted by Cam on Tue, 09/30/2008 - 14:41

I want to use Cesium in my experiment but I can't get the CsNO3 to dissolve in the pH5 ink base to .5M. Has anyone else encountered solubility problems? If I decrease the pH of solution to promote solubility will it damage the print head?

I think that pretty much everybody has experienced solubility problems! :)

We haven't done a lot of testing on lower pH solutions, although we have found that using too much nitric acid will definitely rust the housing. Are you using acetic acid for your solutions? We believe that acetic should dissolve the salts just fine and should be safer for the print head.
