ABSTRACT Graffiti – as an act of vandalism – represents a real economic, cultural and
social plague for community and administrations of urban areas. Despite the many efforts to contrast this phenomenon, no definitive, practical and cost-effective approach has been developed yet.
Herein we propose a sustainable methodology to prepare and screen libraries of new low-environmental impact products, suitable for removing graffiti and murals from stone materials belonging to Venice and its Lagoon UNESCO site. A first series of two-component systems has been accomplished by exploiting silicon and organic carbonate chemistry. Inorganic silica gels have been conceived as the solid matrixes, which were synthesised in acidic non-aqueous conditions by means of the well-known sol-gel chemistry. Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) has been selected as the green organic solvent to load into the gel. DMC belongs to the family of dialkyl carbonates (DACs), whose low toxicity and peculiar features render them valid alternatives to chlorine-based solvents.
Three new cleaning agents has been investigated on mock stained sample of Istrian stones provided by Fondazione Marghera by comparisons with a variety of silica gel systems loaded with polar protic, polar aprotic and non-polar aprotic solvents.
This preliminary evaluation of silica gel/DMC systems by visual inspection and FT-IR spectroscopy has provided promising results for their application as cleaning agents and paved the way to further improvements.

INTRODUCTION
Chemistry for Restoration is a recognized discipline and Green Chemistry is gaining more and more authority in the design and development of innovative products and procedures for the diagnostics, restoration and maintenance of Cultural Heritage assets.
The increase of awareness campaigns promoted in the last few years in favor of the adoption of green materials and methodologies in the restoration and conservation fields, clearly testifies the urgent need to safeguard the operator health and the environment [1].
Green Chemistry is based upon the “benign by design” motto and in this scenario it can face up to new challenges arising in the context of ecological sustainability and product toxicity reduction, aiming at preventing any toxic or other harmful effects for human health and environment. The employment of hazardous chemicals in the interventions on Cultural Heritage artworks, such as solvents, biocides and other chemical substances exposes the restorers to the risk of developing serious diseases like carcinoma and endocrine dysfunctions. Moreover, there is the necessity to protect the environment through the sustainable design, manufacturing and use of eco-friendly products biocompatible at all life cycle stages. The correct disposal of hazardous chemical waste used in restoration is another critical issue, which should be conceived in order to create a more effective, cost-efficient and environmentally friendly waste management system.
Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is needed to face the complexity posed by a restoration/conservation project, since it is necessary to focus on the operators’ health, environmental impact, waste disposal and on the economic implications of the interventions.
Some of the abovementioned issues have been addressed in our project “Product and process innovation for maintenance, conservation and sustainable restoration and programmed Cultural Heritage” funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (see acknowledgement for more details).
This project aims to develop ad hoc researches relative to diagnostics, restoration and maintenance of Cultural Heritage assets, through the design and manufacture of innovative products and procedures for the restoration of architectural artworks and materials.
In this prospect, one of the major issues faced by our research team is graffiti vandalism in Venice, a real pervasive plague for historic centers and art cities (Figure 1) [2,3]. Figure 1.
Graffiti removal is always a critical, costly and time-expensive phase in a restoration project, due to the difficulty in defining the cleaning level and the possibility of damaging the artwork [4]. The spray, varnishes and the permanent felt tip markers used on the stone often damage the surfaces in irreversible way,
SCIENZA E BENI CULTURALI.2018 185
altering their appearance and preservation condition, often accelerating their decay with the consequent loss of materials.
The damages caused by this phenomenon are: 1) economical by involving extensive costs for the preventive and recovery interventions being faced by the community; 2) cultural by resulting in an inevitable negative impact to Cultural Heritage; 3) social by affecting citizens perception of the security of the area defaced by graffiti.
Possible solutions to the graffiti issue would be prevention strategies via public awareness and school education and simplification of administrative procedures dealing with graffiti clean-up operations, which may increase the number of cleaning interventions on buildings and monuments surfaces tagged by vandals.
In the Venetian context, the Superintendence of Archeology, Fine Arts and Landscape for the City of Venice and Lagoon must conform to national rules and comply with the specificity of the area [5]. In general, the recovery interventions imply [6]: • A preliminary study at microanalytical level of the varnishes/inks used, to
define their composition; often their specific chemical composition is unknown. • A preliminary study of the conditions of the stone surfaces and their state of
conservation. • Post factum cleaning interventions:
- physical-mechanical methods: pressure washing, air-powder abrasion, steam cleaning, laser technologies, sand blasting, brushes etc.
- chemical methods often using organic solvents. • Preventive intervention: the use of antigraffiti products to create a protection
layer on the surface to prevent the penetration of the inks and sprays in the porous network of the material and to make future graffiti removal faster and more cost-effective. There are different types of antigraffiti that range from the temporary to the permanent ones.
In this view, herein we report a preliminary investigation of a novel class of eco-sustainable and cost-effective cleaning agents, suitable for removing paint stains from stone masonries and artworks belonging to Venice and its Lagoon UNESCO site.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The new products to be employed as cleaning agents have been conceived as two-component systems: dimethyl carbonate (DMC) as a solvent and silica gel as an adsorbent solid support in which the solvent is trapped. The general purpose was to exploit the properties of DMC as low volatile green solvent (b.p. 90 °C), which may dissolve the polymeric binder and additives included into a paint and thus detach the pigment from the surface of the treated stone. Then, the gel acting as a
186 SCIENZA E BENI CULTURALI.2018
sponge-like material may adsorb the dissolved polymer along with the additives and complete the pigment extraction from the stone. Once the DMC evaporates, the partially dried gel may be easily removed from the treated surface, without altering the stone composition/morphology.
DMC has been chosen as lead solvent, in as much it belongs to the family of dialkyl carbonates (DACs), which play a pivotal role, both as solvents and reagents, in synthetic procedure focused on developing compelling alternatives to chlorine derivatives [7-9]. In fact, since 2006, after the entry into force of Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals – REACH – regulation, many chemicals and processes extensively employed in industry have been banned and stricter safety standards adopted [10]. Therefore, as the Restoration and Conservation of Cultural Heritage are not exempted from this greener change, DACs may represent a valid low toxic and low impact replacement to those chlorine-based solvents (e.g. dichloromethane), routinely used by restores and art conservators.
DMC, diethyl carbonate (DEC) ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) are already added in small amount to formulations, such as solvent mixtures and micro/nano emulsions, being used in cleaning procedure of paintings and stone artworks [11,12]. However, the potential role of DACs in art restoration and conservation has been barely investigated and thus it is still far to be unveiled.
Silica gels, selected as inorganic matrixes, can be easily achieved through well-known sol-gel chemistry methodologies. Silicon derivatives such as silica, silicates, silanols and siloxanes are commonly used in restoration as matting agents (e.g. micronized silica) and components of commercially available consolidating agents (tetraethylsilicate) [13,14] and hydrophobic coating agents [15,16].
The general mechanism of silica gels formation consists in the hydrolysis by basic or acidic aqueous conditions of a tetraalkylsilicate – generally tetramethoxysilicate (TMOS) and tetraethoxysilicate (TEOS) – followed by its condensation with at least another molecule of silicate (Scheme 1) [17]. An alcohol is usually added to the mixture as organic co-solvent to dissolve the hydrophobic tetralkylsilicate and to render the gel formation more uniform. Basic aqueous conditions provide highly branched oligomers/polymers as major components of the final colloid, while acidic aqueous conditions favour the formation of linear structures (Scheme 1). Scheme 1.
In our research, we have focused on the formation of silica gels in non-aqueous acidic conditions using formic acid (pKa = 3.75) as organic solvent and protons source [18]. In these conditions, the hydrolysis of a molecule of tetralkylsilicate produces the corresponding alcohol and/or alkylformate, which act as co-solvents and lead to the formation of a colloid with intermediate features relative to those of
SCIENZA E BENI CULTURALI.2018 187
gels formed in basic and acidic aqueous media (Scheme 1-3). Results of our preparations are reported in Table 1. Table 1.
Silica gels were obtained by mixing TMOS or TEOS (1 eq) with formic acid (4 eq.) and letting them react under stirring at r.t. until the gelation point (at 90 and 360 min respectively). Then, gels were left aging for 60 min prior to the solvent loading. G1 and G2 silica gel were prepared starting from TMOS and TEOS respectively and DMC was used for the solvent loading. DMC was replaced twice a day for three days to allow a complete solvent exchange, which was ascertained by measuring the acidity of the solution gels were placed in.
In order to evaluate and compare G1 and G2 efficiency as graffiti removal, different freshly prepared gels (from TMOS) were loaded with: protic polar solvents such as water (G3), MeOH (G4), EtOH (G5); aprotic polar solvents such as acetone (G6), ethyl acetate (G7); aprotic non- polar solvents such as toluene (G8), and xylene (G9), commonly used as solvents in aerosol paint spray cans. Finally, a nanofluid or microemulsion described by Baglioni et al. [12-19] to remove acrylic coatings from paintings and composed by water (73.3%), sodium lauryl sulfate (3.7%), pentanol (7%), ethyl acetate (8%) and propylene carbonate (8%) (G10) was also tested (Table 1).
In all the preparations, the solvent exchange step led usually to the formation of glassy gels, which had to be crushed finely before the application over the stained surface. Aiming to achieve easy to handle formulations, i.e. gelatin-like gels, three further gels were prepared by adding to the reaction mixture another polymeric material (w/w of TMSO): 0.5% of Agar (G11), 0.5% of polyacrilic acid or Carbopol (G12); 0.5% of Cellulose (G13) (Table 1). Gels were dried pre- and post- applications and analysed by FT-IR spectroscopy.
New gels systems efficiency in extracting polymer colours was investigated over samples of Istrian stone provided by Fondazione Forte Marghera. Istrian stone is the local stone of Venice its lagoon UNESCO site; it has been widely employed as architectural and decorative material in many historical buildings (e.g. Palazzo Ducale and Ponte di Rialto) for its peculiar composition and low porosity, which rendered it an ideal barrier to contrast the rising damp [20].
Istrian stone mock samples of different dimension were stained using commercially available red and blue aerosol paints, (Rubin Red, Enamel Acrylic Spray, Arexons). The aerosol paint was sprayed over samples from a distance of 20 cm and with an angle of approximatively 45°. Two layers of paint were applied over specimens that were stored in laboratory at 20 °C for one week prior to being used.
Si gel/solvent systems were applied over stained samples by following two different procedures: 1) by using a spatula and covering a surface of 10-20 cm2 protected with a PVC film to further limit the solvent evaporation; 2) by placing

over the sample surface a Pyrex glass blowing tube (l = 10 cm; dØ = 1 cm) filled with a gel (3 cm) that was pushed down through a glass piston, which worked also as a cap to limit the solvent evaporation. This latter was used to visually evaluate polymers colours extraction by gels (Figure 2). Figure 2.
After 10, 30, 60, 120 min the gels were brushed away from the stone. At end of the test, the collected gels were dried under vacuum and analysed via FT-IR spectroscopy by mixing samples with KBr.
In this preliminary investigation G1, G2, and G11 were identified as the most promising Si gel/DMC system of this series to extract polymer colours from stained stone samples within 60 min. Products optimisation and characterisation, as well as specific analysis of gel system-stone material and gel system-paint interactions are on-going.
Although further improvements and studies still need to be accomplished, this methodology represents a novel, green and cost-effective approach to easily develop and screen new cleaning agents based on the chemistry of silicon and dialkyl carbonates.
Moreover, a silica gel features, such as physical state (solid, solid-like or liquid-like), 3D-network, porosity, superficial tension, adhesive properties, thermal resistance etc, can be modulated by the synthetic procedure employed in its synthesis, the introduction of different functionalisation on its matrix [21,22], as well as the solvent or the mixture of solvents included into it. In turn, by tuning these features, a gel cleaning efficiency and suitability on various substrates can be properly tailored.
