The reaction of slaked lime with atmospheric CO 2 in the presence of humidity leads to the
formation of cementing carbonate phases in traditional aerial lime mortars and plasters. This …

Heritage buildings (HBs), which are unique landmarks across the world, have special
cultural significance. However, many of the HBs, in lack of proper maintenance …

The increasing use of lime-based mortars for the restoration of historic buildings and
structures justifies the research on these materials. The focus of this paper is the effect of …

Phase and morphology evolution of CaCO 3 precipitated during carbonation of lime pastes
via the reaction Ca (OH) 2+ CO 2→ CaCO 3+ H 2 O has been investigated under different …

One hundred eighty different mortars made with a natural hydraulic lime (NHL) and different
kinds of aggregates were prepared to be used in restoration works. The factors affecting the …

Air lime mortars were used in construction since immemorial times until at least the
beginning of the 20th century. This material may tell the history of construction, in large parts …

Awareness of the need for compatible materials for the preservation of the architectural
heritage has resulted in the revival of lime-based mortar technology and applications …

The uptake of carbon dioxide due to the carbonation reaction of Ca (OH) 2 in ambient
temperature of approximately 20° C has been studied. Different types of lime have been …

Aerial mortars and plasters have been widely used in construction throughout history, and
their compatibility with historic mortars and plasters has led to their recent re-adoption. This …

We have studied the carbonation process in different types of mortars, with and without
pozzolana or air-entraining additives, subject to a CO2-rich atmosphere and compared the …
