Abstract

Abstract Ancient pottery stored in northern Chinese museums is apt to powder during long-term storage. A detailed investigation of the efflorescent products of such pottery was performed to shed light on the role of water-soluble salts, a type of curing-salt-laden colloidal substance that shows smooth edges and shrinkage holes containing Cl − , NO 2 − , NO 3 − , SO 4 2− , Na + , K + , Ca 2+ , etc., in pottery efflorescence. For comparison, recent specimens of pottery, buried soil and storeroom dust were characterised as well, demonstrating that, in this samples, water-soluble salts mainly originated from the surrounding atmosphere.
