Nanolime is a promising consolidant for the conservation of most historic structures thanks to
its high compatibility with carbonate-based substrates. Nanolime can recover the superficial
cohesion of deteriorated surfaces thanks to its potential to complete the carbonation
process, recreating a thin network of new cementing calcium carbonate. In this paper, the
nanolime was produced by an innovative, time and energy-saving and scalable method,
and its efficacy was tested preliminary on biocalcarenite stones from Agrigento. The stones …
