This experimental study analyses the extent of chemo-mineralogical changes that occur when a building stone encounters cycling isothermal treatment at 600 °C. Four carbonate and two silicate European stones were analysed in their fresh quarried thermally treated conditions by means colour measurements, situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy. Furthermore, powdered samples characterised Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, simultaneous thermal analysis, thermogravimetry (TG). The...
Natural weathering of carbonate building surfaces exposed to outdoor conditions can be effectively tackled by appropriate products. The aim this experimental study was evaluate the effectiveness nano-zirconia (n-ZrO2) as a consolidant for calcite surfaces. Sorption kinetics were investigated in batch experiments applying aqueous dispersions n-ZrO2 onto model, crushed Apuan marble samples different bead sizes. Adsorption and desorption action simulated rainwater an environmentally relevant...
