Instead of charcoal you could also try
Lamp black

as this is much more conductive than charcoal,
but it is just a fine powder and maybe it would not get coated too good
by the colloidal silver atoms.
You can try that too.

Good luck.

Thanks again Hans.

But after visiting Wiki I have decided that working with this stuff is well above my pay grade, and beyond my capability's on this scale.

Nssb Your comments on this subject are well founded and appreciated.

Hans offered a solution to a question and I appreciate his willingness to help and his insight/warnings.

Now I am leaning more towards commercial products as in rust remover or wheel cleaner that list the same chemical as Hans pointed out even if the concentration takes longer.

Be Well

G'day Tinker,

I have done a bit of checking on this, one way to remove carbon is using liquid CO2, it must be thoroughly de-greased before you can use it as grease contaminates the CO2 and the action stops, another source suggested caustic soda. Now this one is worth trying as caustic soda (lye) is available everywhere and not too difficult to handle. It is also cheap.

I'll have a look if I can get my hands on some of those pellets and give it a try.

I think de-carbonising the CAT is a superb idea. Hey Hans, can you reference your info on the CO2 removal of carbon deposit please? Just for my knowledge (Aint for the kids I think are gonna freeze their hands off )

I know a few mechanics, I'll ask them if they could possibly source me some old CATs and see what I can come up with. Perhaps they even know of other de-carb methods.

@Dave: Do you have any idea how much you would have invested in current setup? (Current materials in your report)
            And how long do you think it would take to replicate your experiment? (For the layman with zilch experience )

Thanks again Hans

Caustic Soda I have some experience with and can be neutralized  easily but even it is nasty stuff. But I think you are right, that is the ticket.
