Mechanism of deterioration in open-air stone cultural relics due to salt erosion in humid environments
To study the deterioration mechanism of open-air stone cultural relics in humid environments caused by soluble salt erosion,the cliff carvings of Shifosi in Chongqing were examined.Multiple analytical techniques,such as scanning electron microscope energy dispersive spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction,X-ray fluorescence,ion chromatography,and infrared thermal imaging,were employed to characterize surface deterioration and soluble salt types.Moreover,the study analyzed the effect of soluble salts on cave temples in humid environments,providing a scientific basis for preserving stone cultural relics.
