This document specifies a methodology applying poultices for the desalination of porous substrate constituting cultural heritage. The desalination methodology can be applied to salt-loaded porous inorganic materials either affected by salt weathering and/or to allow conservation treatments incompatible with soluble salt(s) contamination, or to prevent salt damage where contamination is known to be present. In all cases the desalination aims to decrease salt content.
Furthermore, this document gives the fundamental requirements for the desalination operation and guidelines for the choice of the most appropriate poultice components according to the characteristics of the substrate and types/quantities of salt(s) present in order to optimize the desalination process.

Describes a method applicable to products having cobalt contents equal to or greater than 0,1 mg/kg. The principle of determination is based on dissolution of a test portion, formation of the coloured cobalt 2-nitrose-1-naphtol complex, extraction with chloroform and photometric measurement at a wavelength of about 530 nm.

Specifies a method applicable to products in which the nickel content being determined exceeds 0,1 mg/kg. The principle of determination is based on dissolution of a test portion, formation of the coloured nickel furil -dioxime complex, extraction with chloroform and photometric measurement at a wavelength of about 435 nm.

The principle consists in removal of the boron by evaporation with methanol and separation of manganese and other metals from the residue, by extraction with chloroform, as their diethyldithiocarbamates. Wet destruction of the diethyldithiocarbamates with a sulphuric acid/ hydrogen peroxide mixture. Removal of any interfering iron by extraction as the thiocyanate. Formation of the coloured manganese formaldoxime complex in alkaline solution and photometric measurement at a wavelength of approximately 450 nm.
