Résumé
"Alkaline solutions soaking are the most accepted treatment for the desalination of archaeological iron in an attempt to arrest further detrimental corrosion. The process displaces chloride ions (desalination) and diffuses them out of the artifact. The method relies on high concentrations of hydroxide and low concentrations of chloride in the solution. As the treatment progresses, chloride concentration increases decreasing desalination rates and the technique’s effectiveness. Conservators cope with this issue by regularly replacing solutions. This procedure generates significant quantities of waste, and requires personnel and considerable amounts of water and sodium hydroxide. The proposal aimed at investigating the applicability of ion-exchange technology to remove chloride from solution without the need to constantly replace the soaking solutions."
