salt removal (YAY) (1 Viewer)

[kt1603]

Hey everyone,
I have to do an assessment based on 'shipwrecks, corrosion and conservation' generally. But I'm having some trouble finding info on the methods used to remove salt from submerged objects, and what would happen to salvaged artifacts if these methods weren't carried out. Could anyone help me out with this info, or head me in the right direction? I would really appreciate it. Thankyou

Have you read the info in Conquering Chemistry?
