TLDR
In this paper, the results of electromigration desalination of two soluble salt-contaminated Galician granites were described, which had not been previously applied to granite, was assessed for two types of granite contaminated with a 20% NaCl solution and seawater.About:

Rising damp removal from historical masonries: A still open challenge
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a coherent picture of technologies so far proposed for the removal of rising damp and the results obtained, both in laboratory and on-site, based on the results, the open challenges for research in this field are tentatively pointed out, according to the author's opinion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salt weathering in granitoids: an overview on the controlling factors
TL;DR: In this paper, the porosity and the pore network are important parameters in salt weathering; therefore, pore radii distribution and capillary water uptake were measured, which are the main factors controlling the behavior of the studied stones under salt action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure to artificial daylight or UV irradiation (A, B or C) prior to chemical cleaning: an effective combination for removing phototrophs from granite.
TL;DR: Although the biofilm was not totally removed by any of the treatments, UV-B irradiation followed by benzalkonium chloride was potentially useful for cleaning stone, with results comparable to those achieved by UV-C irradiation, which is known to have germicidal effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of the properties of granite and sandstone in the desalination process by electrokinetic technique
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the efficiency of electrokinetic techniques for desalination of two different kinds of rocks: granite and sandstone, and compared the percentage of salt removal at different depths and the time needed to get the same percentage removal (effectiveness) achieved in both stones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation of stony materials in the built environment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the main issues related to the struggle against these alteration processes, from the consideration of the intervention criteria to strategic considerations on the organisation of the interventions that must include temporal and spatial features of alteration processes.

Electrokinetic soil remediation — critical overview
TL;DR: Several emerging in situ electrokinetic soil remediation technologies, such as Lasagna, Elektro-Klean, electrobioremediation, etc., are reviewed, and their advantages, disadvantages and possibilities in full-scale commercial applications are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salts in the deterioration of porous materials: an overview
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview on salt-induced deterioration of inorganic porous materials focusing on those topics considered the most relevant for understanding this phenomenon, such as movement of both water/moisture and salts within the pore system, influence of the presence of salts in moisture absorption, effect of the simultaneous presence of more than one salt; salt distribution in masonry; deterioration mechanisms; and weathering patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indicators and ratings for the compatibility assessment of conservation actions
J. Delgado Rodrigues,A. Grossi +1 more
TL;DR: A system of translating the diverse quantifying units or descriptive terms into a uniform system, thus allowing the integration of components that are intrinsically inhomogeneous in nature to be integrated into the overall assessment of compatibility.
