A review of selected inorganic consolidants and protective treatments for porous calcareous materials Eric Hansen, Eric Doehne, John Fidler, John Larson, Bill Martin, Mauro Matteini, Carlos Rodríguez-Navarro, Eduardo Sebastian Pardo, Clifford Price, Alberto de Tagle, Jeanne Marie Teutonico and Norman Weiss Abstract Incorporating the results of a meeting held in London in December 2000, sponsored by English Heritage and The Getty Conservation Institute, this article reviews both consolidants and protective treatments for the conservation of deteriorated limestone and lime plaster. Carbonate deposition (including both inorganic solutions and bio-mineralization), barium hydroxide treatment, ammonium oxalate and tartaric acid treatments are covered. The article reviews selected literature, identifies open questions and promotes discussion of a range of issues, encompassing application techniques, performance, compatibility and retreatability. While many questions concerning these important systems have been addressed in published sources, there are significant opportunities for new research. Introduction Conservators today employ a limited array of consolidating and protective methods and materials to treat critically weakened surfaces. While the use of polymer and silica gel consolidants for friable limestone and wall paintings is well documented in the conservation literature, the materials and methods discussed here - both old and new - are not as well represented, despite their past use and potential usefulness. The authors assembled for a meeting of experts, held in London in December 2000, with the hope that a greater understanding of the merits and appropriateness of selected consolidants and protective treatments for limestone and lime plaster could be established. This paper has evolved from that meeting and looks at several treatment processes: carbonate deposition (including both inorganic solutions and biomineralization), barium hydroxide treatment, ammonium
