Cerium Salts in Photography Use in Paper Printing
Cerium salts are shown to rapidly reduce cerous salts to the serous state under light, enabling novel photographic processes. Gelatinized or sized paper is sensitized with ceric sulphate or nitrate, yielding a yellow color. Exposed areas bleach to the serous state, then treatment with organic compounds oxidizes ceric to colored images. Phenol yields gray, aniline colors green, alpha napthylamine blue, and amide benzvic acid brown. Some papers surpass iron or manganese papers in sensitivity.
