Consolidation of these materials with liquid products via the surface is a common practice; however, the most used consolidation products (e.\u2009g. TEOS-based) show a poor physical-chemical compatibility with calcareous substrates. For application on calcareous materials, the so-called nanolimes, i.\u2009e. dispersions of lime nanoparticles in alcohols, are an alternative to TEOS-based products, thanks to their chemical compatibility with lime-based substrates. Nanolimes can help to recover a superficial loss of cohesion. However, their in-depth consolidation effect is not always satisfactory. Previous work has shown that a better deposition of lime nanoparticles in depth can be achieved by adapting the properties of the nanolime dispersion (kinetic stability and evaporation rate) to the moisture transport properties of the substrate, through optimization of the solvent. In this paper, freshly synthetized nanolimes were dispersed in pure ethanol and\/or in binary mixture of ethanol (95\u2006%) and water (5\u2006%). These nanolimes were applied on Maastricht limestone and on a lime-based mortar by capillary absorption (method commonly used for laboratory tests) and by nebulization (method widely used<jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic>). The aim of this research is to fill the gap between laboratory tests and on site application, providing an application protocol for restorers and professionals in the field. The research shows that results obtained by application by capillary absorption do not always correspond to those obtained by nebulization. This fact should be considered when deciding on the use of a consolidation surface treatment in practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/rbm-2016-0008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,1]],"date-time":"2017-02-01T10:04:37Z","timestamp":1485943477000},"page":"99-109","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Application Protocol for the Consolidation of Calcareous Substrates by the Use of Nanolimes: From Laboratory Research to Practice"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Borsoi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Barbara","family":"Lubelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Rob","family":"van Hees","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ros\u00e1rio","family":"Veiga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Santos Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"374","reference":[{"key":"ref651","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"171","DOI":"10.1016\/j.colsurfa.2016.03.007","article-title":"Effect of solvent on nanolime transport within limestone: How to improve in-depth deposition","volume":"497","year":"2016","journal-title":"Colloids Surf A"},{"key":"ref371","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"251","DOI":"10.1016\/S1296-2074(03)00050-5","article-title":"The experimental test for the evaluation of protective treatments: a critical survey of the \u2018capillary absorption index\u2019","volume":"4","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Cult Heritage"},{"key":"ref541","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"11457","DOI":"10.1021\/la4017728","article-title":"Alcohol dispersions of calcium hydroxide nanoparticles for stone conservation","volume":"29","year":"2013","journal-title":"Langmuir"},{"key":"ref261","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"38","DOI":"10.1016\/j.culher.2007.06.004","article-title":"Stone consolidation: The role of treatment procedures","volume":"9","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Cult Heritage"},{"key":"ref491","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110","DOI":"10.1016\/j.culher.2006.02.001","article-title":"Nanotechnology in cultural heritage conservation: nanometric slaked lime saves architectonic and artistic surface from decay","volume":"7","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Cult Heritage"},{"key":"ref561","volume-title":"Stone conservation.
