A Multi-Analytical Approach for the Evaluation of the Efficiency of the Conservation–Restoration Treatment of Moroccan Historical Manuscripts Dating to the 16th, 17th, and 18th Centuries

“…In addition, Ca has an important role in different steps of the papermaking process; it might originate from the processing water supply, bones and other animal parts used in gelatin size, from the lime (Ca(OH) 2 )used in disintegrating rags, or from the additives.44 Also noteworthy is the significant amount of Na, ranging between 39 070 and 47 200 μg/g; the sodium may have been used for the leaching of rags during the paper production. 5…”

“…Once dissolved, they were cooled and were made up to 10 mL, with ultrapure water in a polypropylene vessel. 5 The samples were kept refrigerated at 4 °C until analysis. The ICP-AES used in this work (Horiba Jobin Yvon model) was fitted with a cyclonic spray chamber and a Meinhard nebulizer.…”

Utilizing different analytical techniques to determine the composition of the paper support of historical lithographic plate from Belzoni's Atlas

“…Gelatin was identified in the examined sample by the amide I (Typical peptide C=O) and amide II (Typical peptide N-H) absorption bands at about 1643 cm -1 and 1560 cm -1 respectively [12,[40][41][42][43][44][45] and amide III (Typical peptide N-H) absorption band at 1315 cm -1 [13,[40][41][42][43]. As for calcium carbonate in the sample, its presence was confirmed by absorption band in the fingerprint region at 1424 cm -1 and absorption band at 875 cm -1 [13,21,24,27,33,42,43,[45][46][47][48][49]. A broad peak at 1424 cm −1 includes the vibration of C = O bonds in the carbonate ion (CO 3 2− ) [50,51], and the band at 875 cm -1 belongs also to the C=O bonds in carbonate anion [50].…”

Atomic spectrometry update. Industrial analysis: metals, chemicals and advanced materials

“…Such a multi-analytical approach has been employed by Pessanha and co-workers for the non-destructive analysis of 18th century Chinese wallpaper 119 and attenuated total refection (ATR)-FT-IR together with ICP-MS has been used for the characterisation of both organic and inorganic components in paper and inks. 120 2.2.2 LIBS and laser spectroscopies. In the previous review period 1 some interesting and important developments from the LIBS community were reviewed.…”
