Workshop on electrochemistry

The University of Amsterdam organizes Workshop Electrochemistry
16-19 June 2015 from 09:00 -17:00.  This workshop is given by Dr.
Christian Degrigny.

The electrochemistry course is an introduction on the use of
electrochemical techniques in conservation.  It will go from
corrosion aspects of metals, through the monitoring of
electrochemical parameters to the actual use of these parameters to
conserve electrolytically metal artefacts or composite artefacts
that contain metals to conserve.

The main contents of the course will be:

    Introduction to electrochemistry applied to conservation

    Main parameters to control electrochemical processes that are
    accessible to conservation professionals and factors affecting
    them

    Electrolytic techniques applied in conservation: determination
    of parameters

    Application to case studies: cleaning of silver tarnish,
    consolidative reduction of active lead, cleaning and
    stabilization of marine or archaeological copper and iron
    artefacts, stabilization of aluminium objects

The workshop is given in the Ateliergebouw, one of the locations of
the University of Amsterdam.  The participation fee is 625 euros.
