Abstract
Described herein are various systems and methods for using acidic media to enhance the surface characteristics of glass articles while reducing the adverse effects of precipitate/sludge formation. The systems and methods generally implement a precipitation-capturing device that is configured to 1) permit formation of sludge thereon and 2) reduce formation of the sludge on other solid surfaces involved in the systems and methods.
