Abstract

Summary: A potential method for the de-acidification of water-logged archaeological

wood is through a treatment with alkaline nanoparticles. In previous studies,

we have shown that strontium carbonate nanoparticles are especially effective in

removing sulfuric acid from the Mary Rose timbers. In this contribution, we report

the effect of these nanoparticles on other known sulfur compounds in the timbers.

Overall, these effects are beneficial, yielding benign compounds and removing the

possibility for the conversion to sulfuric acid.
