Abstract[Bearbeiten]
Crystals growing in confined spaces can generate stress and are a major cause of damage in porous materials. While the behavior of several single salts is well characterized, only few studies have been carried out on the behavior of salt mixtures and, especially, mixtures involving the formation of double salts have not been systematically investigated. Double salts show a complex crystallization behavior and an incongruently soluble salt may have a great damage potential, because a solution supersaturated with one of its single salt compounds is formed during its dissolution. In this study we report on wetting-drying experiments with an equimolar Na2SO4MgSO4 salt mixture. In situ Raman microscopy was used to study the phase transformations during the wetting of the double salts Na2Mg(SO4)24H2O (bloedite) and Na2Mg(SO4)25H2O (konyaite). Though both salts are incongruently soluble and should form mirabilite upon dis-solution, it was found that they behave similar to congruently soluble salts. Most likely, the resulting supersaturation is not sufficient for mirabilite nucleation to occur. Due to the low supersaturation the damage potential of the dissolution of the incongruently soluble double salts bloedite and konyaite is not only much lower than that of sodium sulfate and magnesium sulfate but also in comparison to the incongruently soluble double salt darapskite.
