Research Abstract |
When a liquid phase in a material is changed to supercritical state or exchanged to a supercritical fluid, it is possible to dry the material without phase change, consequently without the dimensional change. This drying method is called supercritical fluid drying. In this study, we have developed a new conservation technique for wet organic archaeological materials with supercritical carbon dioxide. Since it is difficult to dry wood by extracting water with supercritical carbon dioxide, it is necessary to use ethanol that is soluble to both water and carbon dioxide. The two methods were investigated. In one of them, firstly water in a material was exchanged to ethanol, and then supercritical fluid drying was carried out. In another, both impregnation and drying processes were conducted simultaneously. In former method, it was considered that elevation of elevation control of temperature during drying process effects on wood sample shrinkage. In latter, it was suggested that wet organic archaeological materials were treated successively owing to rapid impregnation of reinforcement chemicals and drying without phase change. It is significant that supercritical fluid drying was proposed as a new conservation technique for wet organic archaeological materials in this study. A further direction of this study will be to develop appropriate conditions of treatment according to the materials and the degradation degree of the wet organic archaeological objects.
