=== Carbonates  ===
=== Carbonates  ===
Carbonates are salts of the "carbonic acid"(H <sub> 2 </sub> CO <sub> 3 </sub>). The main structural element is the planar complex anion [CO <sub> 3 </sub>] <sup> 2 - </sup>. The carbonates have a number of characteristics that distinguish them well from other minerals / salts. The most important characteristic is that they all decompose more or less easily releasing CO<sub> 2 </sub> when treated with acids. The alkali and alkali earth carbonate salts are colourless. Most of the other carbonates are usually coloured pale, only the heavy metal carbonates can show strong colours (such as azurite, (Cu<sub>3</sub>CO<sub>2</sub>((OH)<sub>2</sub>. Noteworthy is the extremely high birefringence of the carbonates, which leads to higher order interference colors. Under thermal treatment the carbonates dissociate mostly at temperatures between 500-900 °C. The solubility in water is relatively good, especially in carbonated water.

Die Bindung des Stickstoffs der Luft, als dem Hauptquell der Nitrate, zum [NO<sub>3</sub>]<sup>-</sup>-Ion, erfolgt in den meisten Fällen über biogene Reaktionen; speziell unter Mithilfe von Bakterien, wobei auch stickstoffhaltige Ausgangsstoffe wie tierische Abfälle, Exkremente und andere organische Stoffe eine Rolle spielen können. Nahezu alle Nitrate sind leicht wasserlöslich. Die Nitrate haben bemerkenswerte strukturelle Ähnlichkeiten mit den Carbonaten; charakteristisch ist die Isotypie (gleiche Kristallstruktur) zwischen Nitronatrit und Calcit sowie Nitrokalit und Aragonit.

Sulfate sind Verbindungen mit dem zweiwertigen Anion [SO<sub>4</sub>]<sup>2-</sup>. Dieses Sulfatanion entsteht in der Natur durch Oxidation aus Schwefel oder Schwefelverbindungen, insbesondere der Sulfide. In vielen Fällen sind Mikroorganismen (z. B. Thio- oder Schwefelbakterien) an diesem Prozess beteiligt. Ein Großteil des atmosphärischen Sulfates und deren Vorstufen (z.B. Schwefeldioxid SO<sub>2</sub>) ist anthropogenen Ursprungs und entsteht durch Verbrennungsprozesse. Der relativ große [SO<sub>4</sub>] - Komplex bildet stabile reine Verbindungen nur beim Zusammentreten mit großen zweiwertigen Kationen wie Barium. Je kleiner die gebundenen Ionen sind, umso instabiler werden die Sulfate, und umso mehr sind sie gezwungen, sich zusätzlich durch Anlagerung bzw. Einbau von H<sub>2</sub>O zu stabilisieren. Daher sind die meisten Sulfate, insbesondere der ein- und dreiwertigen Elemente, wasserhaltig oder führen zusätzliche Anionen wie [OH], [CO<sub>3</sub>] u.a. Die Sulfate haben eine Reihe gemeinsamer Eigenschaften. Alle hier betrachteten Sulfate sind farblos. Die optische Doppelbrechung ist in der Regel niedriger als bei den Carbonaten und Nitraten. Ein sehr großer Teil der komplexen Salze ist leicht bis sehr leicht wasserlöslich.  
Sulfates are compounds with the divalent anion [SO<sub>4</sub>]<sup>2-</sup>. The sulfate anion is formed in nature by the oxidation of sulfur or sulfur compounds, particularly sulphides. In many cases, microorganisms (e.g., thio - or sulfur bacteria) are involved in this process. A large proportion of atmospheric sulfate and their precursors (e.g., sulfur dioxide SO<sub>2</sub>) is anthropogenic and produced by combustion processes. The relatively large [SO<sub>4</sub>] - complex tends to form stable compounds mainly with large divalent cations such as barium (probably one of the most insoluble compounds considering that Ba<sup>++</sup> is toxic but barium sulfate suspensions are given to patients that need X-rays of their intestinal tract). The smaller the cations are, the more unstable the sulfate compound, and they are stabilized by addition or incorporation of H<sub>2</sub>O. Therefore, most sulfates, especially those with mono- or three-valent elements contain water or have additional anions, such as [OH]. For the case of building materials, most sulfates encountered have a number of common characteristics: they are colorless; their optical birefringence is usually lower than for the case of carbonates and nitrates; and, a very large number of its complex salts tend to be very soluble in water.

Die Chloride der Alkalien und Erdalkalien bilden alle ausgeprägt ionare Verbindungen.

Die Chloride, insbesondere die der Alkalien, sind sehr leicht in Wasser löslich. Im Unterschied hierzu sind die Fluoride schwer löslich.

The chlorides of alkali and alkaline earth metals are all ionic compounds.

Abstract[edit]

All necessary data, graphics and images for the identification and characterization of a salt are presented. The structure of the salt systems is subject to the major anions.

The Salts[edit]

Here you will find a general overview of the salts. If you need detail information, please go to the pages of the individual salts. Recent reviews on salt and salt damage can be found at [Leitner.etal:2003]Title: Mauersalze und Architekturoberflächen

Carbonates[edit]

Carbonates are salts of the "carbonic acid"(H 2 CO 3 ). The main structural element is the planar complex anion [CO 3 ] 2 - . The carbonates have a number of characteristics that distinguish them well from other minerals / salts. The most important characteristic is that they all decompose more or less easily releasing CO 2 when treated with acids. The alkali and alkali earth carbonate salts are colourless. Most of the other carbonates are usually coloured pale, only the heavy metal carbonates can show strong colours (such as azurite, (Cu3CO2((OH)2. Noteworthy is the extremely high birefringence of the carbonates, which leads to higher order interference colors. Under thermal treatment the carbonates dissociate mostly at temperatures between 500-900 °C. The solubility in water is relatively good, especially in carbonated water.

Nitrates[edit]

Biogenic reactions are a major source for nitrates (having the [NO3] - ion) produced by bacteria which process nitrogen-containing raw materials, such as animal waste, manure and other organic substances. Nearly all nitrates are water-soluble. The nitrates have remarkable structural similarities with carbonates; characteristic is the isomorphy (same crystal structure) between nitronatrite/calcite and aragonite/niter.

Sulfates[edit]

Sulfates are compounds with the divalent anion [SO4]2-. The sulfate anion is formed in nature by the oxidation of sulfur or sulfur compounds, particularly sulphides. In many cases, microorganisms (e.g., thio - or sulfur bacteria) are involved in this process. A large proportion of atmospheric sulfate and their precursors (e.g., sulfur dioxide SO2) is anthropogenic and produced by combustion processes. The relatively large [SO4] - complex tends to form stable compounds mainly with large divalent cations such as barium (probably one of the most insoluble compounds considering that Ba++ is toxic but barium sulfate suspensions are given to patients that need X-rays of their intestinal tract). The smaller the cations are, the more unstable the sulfate compound, and they are stabilized by addition or incorporation of H2O. Therefore, most sulfates, especially those with mono- or three-valent elements contain water or have additional anions, such as [OH]. For the case of building materials, most sulfates encountered have a number of common characteristics: they are colorless; their optical birefringence is usually lower than for the case of carbonates and nitrates; and, a very large number of its complex salts tend to be very soluble in water.
