- Résumé
- For decades, scientists and conservators have been working on researching and finding appropriate treatments of the iron-gall ink archives. There are a lot of iron-gall ink archives and they are very important and precious. This made finding a solution to the conservation and treatments of iron-gall ink archives all the more important.
- Hence, the goal of this paper is to find a way to remove iron-gall ink archives' backing without affecting the soluble Fe (II) ions. To do so, this paper looks at various worldwide researches to understand the properties, making process, degradation factors and treatments of iron-gall ink, and also the properties of Gellan gum and its use on conservation.
- Experiments are done using two methods - rigid Gellan gums and brushing solvents, to remove iron-gall ink archives' backing and test the soluble Fe (II) ions with bathophenanthroline/ethanol solvent. By experimenting with three different kinds of rigid Gellan gums and three different solvents with different humidified levels, the best results were found - when one uses 3% Gellan gum/ calcium phytate and brushes by 25:75 calcium phytate/ethanol solvent.
- In conclusion, the results of brushing calcium phytate/ethanol solvent is good, but we also have to make sure the iron-gall ink is insoluble. Also, before using Gellan gums, we have to consider the water content and penetration speed, which could be adjusted by the percentage and thickness of Gellan Gum. We could also add cation into Gellan gum to increase its intensity. The most important is the control of the environment for storing these archives. If under appropriate relative humidity, lighting, temperature, anoxic and alkaline conditions, the damage to the archives may be reduced and they may be preserved longer.
