%0 Journal Article %T ARTIFICAL YELLOW PIGMENTS: PRODUCTION AND CHARACTERIZATION THROUGH SPECTROSCOPIC METHODS OF ANALYSIS %A Claudia Pelosi %A Giorgia Agresti %A Ulderico Santamaria %A Elisabetta Mattei %J E-Preservation Science %D 2010 %I Morana RTD d.o.o. %X Artificial yellow pigments (lead-tin yellow type I and type II,lead antimonate yellow and lead-tin-antimony yellow) havebeen produced, starting from various recipes and from purechemicals, in different experimental conditions. The productswere analysed using micro-Raman spectroscopy.Differences in stoichiometric ratios, in melting temperaturesand in crucible typologies were examined. Other analyticaltechniques were required to characterize the stoichiometricratios of the obtained products (X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersivespectroscopy and differential thermal analysis).The resultsare analysed and discussed in terms of correlations amongchemical composition, melting conditions and colour hue. %K Artificial yellow pigments %K Raman spectroscopy %K X-ray diffraction %K Scanning electron microscopy %U http://www.morana-rtd.com/e-preservationscience/2010/Pelosi-10-05-2010.pdf
