Abstract: | Thermogravimetry (TG), derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), were found to be suitable instrumental techniques for the study of monumental rocks because they need small amounts of sample and provide extensive qualitative and quantitative information. From DTG curves, the calcite/dolomite ratio in the samples as well as the differences between limestones and dolomites can be quantitatively determined. DSC curves are adequate for the identification of the degradation products in the monumental stones since they are usually salts (sometimes hydrates) which present first-order processes under 600°C. This technique makes it possible to carry out quantitative and semiquantitative analysis of the degradation of monumental rocks since it provides data about its mineralogic composition. |
