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 …

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 …

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 …

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 hydration of reactive periclase (MgO) in the presence of hydromagnesite (Mg 5 (CO 3) 4
(OH) 2· 4H 2 O) was investigated by a variety of physical and chemical techniques …

We studied the synthesis and characterization of Ca (OH) 2 colloidal particles and their
application to the restoration of wall paintings. Submicrometer Ca (OH) 2 crystalline particles …

Incorporating the results of a meeting held in London in December 2000, sponsored by
English Heritage and The Getty Conservation Institute, this article reviews both consolidants …

The influence of storing slaked lime under water for extended periods of time (ie, aging) on
Ca (OH) 2 crystal morphology, texture, and carbonation evolution of various lime mortars …
