CORRELATION BETWEEN AEROSOLS, DEPOSITS AND WEATHERING CRUSTS ON ANCIENT MARBLES

摘要

The structure and physicochemical characteristics of weathered surfaces of marble in industrial environments can be attributed to the interconnected evolution of the processes taking place at the atmospheric environment-marble interface. The present work is an attempt to correlate the aerosols of a heavily polluted atmosphere with the different weathering Patterns observed on marble surfaces. Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence, X-Ray Diffraction. Porosimetry, Atomic Absorption, Atomic Emission Spectrometry, Ion Chromatography, Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy Results were used together in principal component and discriminant analysis.
