This paper presents an examination of the timescale of phase transition behaviour of a series of salts known to cause damage to wall paintings and other cultural property. The rate of deliquescence and crystallisation of single salts (nitromagnesite and halite) under different RH regimes, and the extent to which this was affected when mixed with other salts (niter, nitratite and gypsum), was investigated...
The use of environmental control as an indirect means of reducing salt damage has long been proposed, but is only now becoming more feasible with the availability of new information on the thermodynamics of salt behaviour. Recent research has led to the development of a computer program Environmental Control of Salts (ECOS), which utilises a thermodynamic model to predict which solid minerals will...
