Abstract

This invention relates to a method for accelerating the burnout of organic material from a glass, glass-ceramic, or ceramic body where the burnout is conducted in a gaseous, essentially non-oxidizing atmosphere. The invention comprises incorporating very minute amounts of a metal-containing material into the glass, glass-ceramic, or ceramic body to act as a catalyst in the burnout process. Metals operable as catalysts include Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, and Pt.
