From the mid-1800s to the late 1950s, conservation by alum salts (aluminum potassium sulfate dodecahydrate)—with some variations—was a routine method for treating highly deteriorated waterlogged archaeological wood in many countries, especially in ...

From the mid-1800s to the late 1960s, conservation by alum salts (KAl(SO4)2·12H2O—potassium aluminium sulphate), using various recipes, was a common method to prevent shrinkage and to strengthen waterlogged archaeological wooden objects.

Alum-treated wooden artefacts suffer from extreme deterioration, and the stability of these objects and the salts they contain to variations in climate conditions is an important issue.

DATA MODELING FOR MUSEUM COLLECTIONS [PDF]
Abstract. The relationship between cultural heritage, digital technologies and visual models involves an increasingly wide area of research, oriented towards the renewal of archives and museums for the preservation and promotion of culture. Recent research activities are the result of the progressive strengthening of digital technologies and the needs ...

We present here (1)⊂MIP‐216(Zr), a new hybrid material composed of an FeII spin crossover complex (1) loaded in the pores of a new hydrophobic metal–organic framework (MIP‐216(Zr), that presents a high affinity toward acetic acid and acts as a highly sensitive colorimetric sensor of acetic acid vapor due to a spin state switching of the encapsulated ...

Ammonium alum in alum-treated wooden artefacts: discovery, origins and consequences
Alum-treatment was extensively applied to archaeological wood from the Oseberg collection in the early 1900s, and was a common conservation method at the time involving impregnating objects with hot concentrated solutions of potassium alum (KAl(SO4)2 ...
