Nuclear magnetic relaxation and diffusion of gas in partially water saturated natural soil
نویسنده
چکیده
Salt crystallization is one of the most important reasons for the decay of historical objects. A well known example is the historical city of Venice in which there is a lot salt decay. Reducing salt contamination is important for conservation of old historic buildings. Therefore often desalination treatments are done. The desalination of non-movable objects, like buildings, is usually made through application of so-called poultices. That is a moistened absorbent material is put on the surface of masonry. Water will than penetrate and desolve the soluble salt present. By subsequent drying the ions will be transport fror the substrate into the tpoultice. The removal of water-soluble salts sounds easy, but it can prove difficult in practice. To achieve a better poultice performance, knowledge about salt transport in the combination poultice/substrates is needed. We have studied the moisture and ion transport for various desalination systems by NMR. Based on these measurements one can categorize poultices according to their working principle of salt extraction and indicate the effectiveness for various desalination methods.

متن کاملSelf-diffusion of water and oil in peanuts investigated by PFG NMR.
Pulsed field gradient (PFG) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has been used to study self-diffusion characteristics of water and oil in natural peanuts and in peanuts saturated with water. From the dependence on diffusion time of the echo decay due to diffusion, regions of completely restricted diffusion for the oil molecules were identified. The mean size and size distribution function of these...

متن کاملEstimation of water retention parameters from nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation time distributions
[1] For characterizing water flow in the vadose zone, the water retention curve (WRC) of the soil must be known. Because conventional WRC measurements demand much time and effort in the laboratory, alternative methods with shortened measurement duration are desired. The WRC can be estimated, for instance, from the cumulative pore size distribution (PSD) of the investigated material. Geophysical...
