Abstract

Cleaning treatments necessary for stone conservation consist of removing compounds that were superimposed on the original material by means of physico-chemical processes.,The purpose of this work is to identify the transformation of stone surface by the LASER treatment. Cleaning test on Istria stone with LASER radiation at different energies and in different regimes have been performed. The depletion of the original material has been evaluated by means of SEM microprobe analyses.
