Study on the Impregnation of Archaeological Wood with an Automated Equipment
Heng Lü · Global Journal of Engineering Sciences · 2019
Heated impregnation is a routine dealing operation for unearthed archaeological wooden artifacts. Most of the water can be replaced and the voids can be filled with stabilizing chemical agents by putting the artifacts in the solutions at elevated temperatures. The impregnation process usually lasts for days, even for months. Traditionally the concentration and temperature of the soaking solution are regulated manually, which leads to high labor intensity and low efficiency of impregnation.
