In this work, we describe the growth of NaCl crystals by evaporating droplets of aqueous
solution while monitoring them with infrared thermography. Over the course of the …

The accumulation of salts in building stones can lead to weathering features such as
scaling, sanding or even slab detachment. To detect salts in walls at the early stages and to …

The reconstituted stone used in the Orval Abbey is highly susceptible to salt weathering. It
was produced from debris of natural stones (which were at that time in short supply) by …

In this work, the evaporation of sodium sulfate droplets with different concentrations and at
different temperatures were studied using infrared thermography (IRT). IRT allows to detect …

Abstract The Infrared Thermography (IRT) technique has been widely developed during the
last years. IRT is useful to observe changes in the fields of physics and chemistry, and has …

Salt crystallization is a weathering process encountered in building stones in several
environments such as coastal or urban areas. It occurs in different architectural positions …
