Journal ArticleDOI
Salt weathering: influence of evaporation rate, supersaturation and crystallization pattern
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that salt damage due to crystallization pressure appears to be largely a function of solution supersaturation ratio and location of crystallization, which are constrained by solution composition, environmental conditions, substrate properties, and salt crystallization growth patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbonate and silicate phase reactions during ceramic firing
Giuseppe Cultrone,Carlos Rodriguez-Navarro,Eduardo Sebastian,Olga Cazalla,Maria Jose De la Torre +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of clay-rich materials following firing is presented, showing that initial mineralogical differences between two raw materials (one with carbonates and the other without) influence the texture and mineralogical evolution of the ceramics as T increases from 700 to 1100°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation of ornamental stone by Myxococcus xanthus-induced carbonate biomineralization.
Carlos Rodriguez-Navarro,Manuel Rodriguez-Gallego,Koutar Ben Chekroun,Maria Teresa Gonzalez-Muñoz +3 more
TL;DR: It is reported that Myxococcus xanthus-induced calcium carbonate precipitation efficiently protects and consolidates porous ornamental limestone and forms new carbonate crystals that are more stress resistant than the calcite grains of the original stone.
Journal ArticleDOI
How does sodium sulfate crystallize? Implications for the decay and testing of building materials
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that both thenardite and mirabilite (Na2SO4·10H2O) precipitate directly from a saturated sodium sulfate solution at room temperature (20°C).
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal decomposition of calcite: Mechanisms of formation and textural evolution of CaO nanocrystals
Carlos Rodriguez-Navarro,Encarnación Ruiz-Agudo,A. Luque,Alejandro B. Rodríguez-Navarro,Miguel Ortega-Huertas +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the thermal decomposition of calcite was proposed to explain how decarbonation occurs at the atomic scale via a topotactic mechanism, which is independent of the experimental conditions.
