Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the applicant's earlier application, which has the application number CN202511740797.3 and is entitled "Active peptide remover, method and application for removing undue makeup on the surface of stone cultural relics". Technical Field
[0002] This invention relates to the field of stone cultural relic protection technology, and in particular to an active peptide remover, method and application for removing inappropriate decorations on the surface of stone cultural relics. Background Technology
[0003] Stone artifacts (such as grottoes, cliff carvings, stone statues, and steles) are important carriers of human history and culture. However, during long-term protection and restoration, some stone artifacts have been improperly decorated due to human intervention (such as the application of paint and synthetic resin pigments in modern times for "beautification" or "protection"), resulting in "inappropriate embellishments" that are inconsistent with the authenticity of the artifacts. These inappropriate embellishments not only cover up the original texture and color of the artifacts but also clog the pores of the stone, hinder the exchange of moisture between the rock and the environment, and accelerate the weathering of the stone (such as salt precipitation and freeze-thaw damage). Some chemical substances in the embellishments (such as resins and heavy metal pigments) can also react with the components of the stone, causing the stone to crumble and discolor, seriously threatening the safety of the artifacts.
[0004] Currently, the main techniques for removing inappropriate decorations from the surface of stone cultural relics include mechanical, chemical, and physical methods, but all of them have obvious limitations.
[0005] Mechanical methods, such as manual polishing and ultrasonic vibration cleaning, rely on physical external force to remove the paint. However, manual polishing is extremely inefficient and can easily cause scratches on the stone surface and loss of carving details. Although ultrasonic vibration can reduce direct friction, high-frequency vibration may cause micro-cracks inside the stone, making it particularly unsuitable for loose sandstone or thin-layer carved artifacts. It also has limited effectiveness in removing tightly adhered resin paint layers.
[0006] Chemical method: Organic solvents (such as acetone, ethyl acetate) or acidic cleaning agents are used to dissolve the cosmetics. Traditional organic solvents have poor biodegradability and are easy to remain in the pores of the stone, which will corrode the stone in the long term; acidic cleaning agents (such as oxalic acid, hydrochloric acid) can remove mineral pigments, but they will dissolve the calcium carbonate in the stone, causing the surface to become brittle and alkaline, which does not comply with the principle of "minimal intervention" in cultural relic protection.
[0007] Steam cleaning method: High-temperature steam softens the cosmetics and removes debris, but steam cleaning alone has limitations: if the temperature is too low (<50℃), the softening effect is poor, and if the temperature is too high (>80℃), it will cause the stone to expand and contract with temperature changes, especially for stone with cracks, which can easily cause new cracks; and steam is difficult to completely remove tightly adhered thick cosmetics (>100μm), requiring repeated operation, which increases the risk of damage to cultural relics.
[0008] Sandblasting cleaning: such as the nutshell medium sandblasting method disclosed in Chinese patent CN120461340A, although it is gentler than corundum, sandblasting without pretreatment requires high pressure (>0.5MPa) to remove stubborn paint, and may still scratch the stone surface or damage the original oxide film; moreover, single sandblasting is not precise enough to control thin paint (<50μm), and it is easy to over-remove and expose the stone.
[0009] In summary, existing technologies cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of "non-destructiveness," "environmental friendliness," and "high efficiency" in removing improper decorations from stone cultural relics. Therefore, developing a new removal method that can combine the advantages of multiple technologies and avoid the shortcomings of a single technology has become an urgent need in the field of stone cultural relic conservation.

[0018] According to an optional implementation, in step 300, the steam temperature is controlled to be 50-80℃ and the steam pressure to be 0.1-0.3MPa; and / or, the steam velocity at the nozzle outlet is 5-15m / s; and / or, the vertical distance between the nozzle and the surface to be painted is 10-30cm; and / or, the nozzle is moved at a constant speed of 10-20cm / s in a direction parallel to the stone surface; and / or, the cleaning time is 1-5min.
[0019] According to one optional implementation, for stone artifacts with a porosity >15%, the steam temperature is 65-80℃ and the steam pressure is 0.2-0.3MPa; for stone artifacts with a porosity of 5-15%, the steam temperature is 60-75℃ and the steam pressure is 0.15-0.25MPa; and for stone artifacts with a porosity <5%, the steam temperature is 50-65℃ and the steam pressure is 0.1-0.2MPa.

[0022] A third aspect of the invention provides an application of a method for removing inappropriate decorations from the surface of stone artifacts.
[0023] The application of the method for removing inappropriate paint from the surface of stone cultural relics according to any one of the technical solutions of the present invention, wherein the removal method is applicable to removing one or more of epoxy resin paint, alkyd resin paint, polyurethane paint and acrylic paint from the surface of stone cultural relics; wherein the stone material of the stone cultural relics is one or more of sandstone, limestone, marble, granite and basalt, and the surface of the stone cultural relics has carved textures, inscriptions or thin oxide film.
[0024] The technical solution adopted in this invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: Firstly, the present invention provides an active peptide remover for improper decoration on the surface of stone artifacts. When used, it is applied to the surface of the improper decoration layer to form an active peptide layer. During subsequent steam cleaning and sandblasting removal, the active peptide layer acts as a protective film, preventing damage to the stone artifact from the high temperature of steam and the sandblasting medium. Furthermore, applying the active peptide remover to the surface of the improper decoration layer allows the peptide molecules to penetrate to the interface between the decoration and the stone, disrupting the bonding force between the decoration and the stone. This helps reduce the pressure, temperature, and time required for subsequent steam cleaning and sandblasting removal, and further reduces damage to the stone artifact.
[0025] Secondly, the present invention provides an active peptide remover for improper makeup on the surface of stone cultural relics. The surface active peptide is one or more of soybean peptide, deep-sea fish skin peptide, sea cucumber peptide, wheat peptide, corn peptide, silk fibroin peptide, and whey protein peptide. The selected surface active peptide is biodegradable, with a biodegradation rate of ≥90% in 30 days. It is non-toxic, leaves no residue, does not corrode stone cultural relics, and avoids the harm to the environment and operators caused by traditional organic solvents.
[0026] Thirdly, the present invention provides a method for removing inappropriate paint from the surface of stone cultural relics. First, an active peptide remover is applied to the surface of the inappropriate paint layer. Then, steam is used to clean the inappropriate paint layer. Finally, sandblasting is used to remove the residual paint. This "active peptide-steam-sandblasting" technology for removing inappropriate paint from stone cultural relics, with the active peptide remover as the core and combining steam softening with low-pressure sandblasting, can improve the removal efficiency of inappropriate paint by more than 90%. For a 100μm thick paint film, the processing time is short. It is applicable to paint of different thicknesses (>100μm) and (<50μm), without requiring multiple process adjustments. The active peptide remover, steam, and sandblasting medium used are all environmentally friendly materials that can naturally degrade after disposal, resulting in no solid waste pollution.
[0027] It is evident that the active peptide remover and method of the present invention for removing inappropriate decorations on the surface of stone cultural relics can achieve "non-destructive", "environmentally friendly" and "efficient" removal of inappropriate decorations on the surface of stone cultural relics. It solves the technical problem that the removal methods in related technologies are difficult to simultaneously meet the requirements of "non-destructive", "environmentally friendly" and "efficient" removal of inappropriate decorations on stone cultural relics.
[0028] Fourthly, the method for removing undue decorations from the surface of stone cultural relics has a wide range of applications. Specifically, this method can be used to remove various undue decorations such as epoxy resin paint, alkyd paint, and mineral pigments; it is applicable to various types of stone such as sandstone, limestone, and marble; by adjusting parameters (such as steam temperature, steam pressure, sandblasting pressure, etc.), it can be adapted to stones with different porosities and hardness; the method for removing undue decorations from the surface of stone cultural relics is portable and easy to operate, and is suitable for outdoor grottoes, open-air stone carvings, and other scenarios, eliminating the need for frequent transfer of cultural relics and reducing the risk of damage during handling. Detailed Implementation
[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0030] The following detailed description of the active peptide remover, method, and application for removing inappropriate makeup on the surface of stone cultural relics provided in this application is illustrated through specific embodiments and application scenarios.
[0031] This embodiment describes an active peptide remover for removing inappropriate makeup from the surface of stone artifacts, comprising the following components by weight percentage: 0.5-5% surface active peptides, 0.1-1% auxiliary ingredients, and the balance being deionized water. For example, the surface active peptides are one or more selected from soybean peptides, deep-sea fish skin peptides, sea cucumber peptides, wheat peptides, corn peptides, silk fibroin peptides, and whey protein peptides. For example, the auxiliary ingredients are stabilizers and / or pH adjusters. For instance, the stabilizer is one or more selected from xanthan gum, carrageenan, bentonite, and kaolin, and the pH adjuster is citric acid or sodium hydroxide, and the pH value of the active peptide remover is 6.5-7.5.
[0032] The pH value of the active peptide remover in this embodiment is 6.5-7.5. On the one hand, this avoids chemical corrosion of stone artifacts (especially carbonate rocks) by the active peptide remover. On the other hand, the neutral environment is conducive to maintaining the chemical structure stability and biological activity of the active peptide remover itself, thus ensuring its cleaning efficiency.
[0033] This embodiment describes an active peptide remover for improper makeup on the surface of stone artifacts. The surface active peptides are one or more of the following: soybean peptides, deep-sea fish skin peptides, sea cucumber peptides, wheat peptides, corn peptides, silk fibroin peptides, and whey protein peptides. The selected surface active peptides are biodegradable, with a biodegradation rate of ≥90% in 30 days. They are non-toxic, leave no residue, do not corrode stone artifacts, and avoid the environmental and operator hazards associated with traditional organic solvents.
[0034] In some embodiments, the surface active peptide is 1-3%, and the surface active peptide is a mixture of soybean peptide and deep-sea fish skin peptide, with a weight ratio of soybean peptide to deep-sea fish skin peptide of 1:1-2:1. For example, the weight of soybean peptide is 1% and the weight of deep-sea fish skin peptide is 1%; or the weight of soybean peptide is 2% and the weight of deep-sea fish skin peptide is 1%; or the weight of soybean peptide is 0.5% and the weight of deep-sea fish skin peptide is 0.5%. In this embodiment, the compound combination of surface active peptides has a small molecular weight, allowing it to quickly penetrate into the interior of the cosmetic (penetration speed increased by 40% compared to a single peptide). The deep-sea fish skin peptide contains a proline structure, which can form a more stable hydrogen bond protective film with the hydroxyl groups on the stone surface. The synergy of the two can significantly reduce the bonding force between the cosmetic and the stone interface.
[0035] Not limited to this, the surface active peptides can also be 1-3%. The surface active peptides are a mixture of silk fibroin peptides and whey protein peptides, and the weight ratio of silk fibroin peptides to whey protein peptides is 1:1.
[0036] Not limited to this, the surface active peptides can also be 2-4%. The surface active peptides are sea cucumber peptides.
[0037] In some embodiments, the auxiliary component is 0.3-0.5%, and the auxiliary component is xanthan gum. Xanthan gum can keep the viscosity of the active peptide remover stable at 600-800 mPa·s, without dripping after application, and the viscosity change rate is small under different temperature conditions, making it suitable for different outdoor temperature scenarios. It has a better effect in delaying solvent evaporation and can extend the penetration time of peptide molecules to 60 minutes.
[0038] Not limited to this, the auxiliary ingredients may also be a mixture of xanthan gum and citric acid. The weight percentage of xanthan gum is 0.4-0.6%, and the weight percentage of citric acid is 0.03-0.08%.
[0039] Not limited to this, the auxiliary ingredient may also be a mixture of kaolin and citric acid. For example, the weight percentage of kaolin is 0.4-0.6%, and the weight percentage of citric acid is 0.03-0.08%. Citric acid is used as the pH adjuster to avoid excessive local pH changes in the active peptide remover.
[0040] As can be seen, the weights of the above components are calculated based on the total weight of the active peptide remover.
[0041] The following provides a method for preparing an active peptide remover.
[0042] This embodiment describes a method for preparing an active peptide remover for improper makeup on the surface of stone artifacts, comprising the following steps: Raw material pretreatment: Surface active peptides are filtered through an 80-mesh sieve to remove agglomerated particles. Stabilizers (such as xanthan gum and carrageenan) are pre-dissolved in deionized water at 60℃ for 10 minutes to prepare a 5% stock solution; when bentonite and kaolin are used as stabilizers, no special treatment is required. Deionized water is filtered through a 0.22μm microporous membrane to remove coarse particulate impurities. The treated raw materials are then set aside for later use.
[0043] Preparation of main solvent: Add deionized water to a temperature-controlled 316L stainless steel reactor, turn on the stirrer (300~500 r / min), control the temperature at 25-30℃, slowly add the pretreated surface active peptide (feeding rate 1g / min), stir for 12-15min until completely dissolved, and the solution is transparent.
[0044] Preferably, during the preparation of the main solvent, the stirring speed is controlled at 300 r / min and the temperature is controlled at 28℃. Under these conditions, the dissolution efficiency of the surface active peptides is the highest, and there is no aggregation (particle size < 1 μm). Compared with 20℃ or 35℃, the dissolution time is shortened by 20-30%.
[0045] Stabilizer addition: Slowly add xanthan gum mother liquor to the above solution at a rate of 5 mL / min, increase the stirring speed to 450-500 r / min, stir for 20-25 min, and the solution viscosity is 600-800 mPa·s.
[0046] pH adjustment and purification: Adjust the pH to 6.8-7.2 dropwise with 10% citric acid solution, stirring for 5 minutes after each drop to ensure pH uniformity; filter the solution through a 100-mesh nylon filter cloth and let it stand for 10-15 minutes to allow the bubbles to escape naturally, thus obtaining an active peptide remover for removing inappropriate makeup on the surface of stone cultural relics.
[0047] Preferably, during pH adjustment and purification, the standing time is 12 minutes, which allows air bubbles with a diameter >1mm to escape completely, preventing voids from forming during application and ensuring that the peptide formulation evenly covers the makeup surface. Specifically, the coverage uniformity is >95%.
[0048] This embodiment describes a method for removing inappropriate decorations from the surface of stone artifacts, including pretreatment, surface active peptide treatment, steam cleaning, sandblasting removal, and post-treatment. Each step is described in detail below.
[0049] Step 100: Pre-treatment. Use a soft brush to remove surface dust from the stone artifact, then wipe the surface with a lint-free cloth soaked in deionized water to remove water-soluble dirt and expose the intact and untreated paint layer.
[0050] For example, wipe ≤ 3 times. For cracked areas, use a 0.5mm needle syringe to draw deionized water and slowly rinse, then immediately dry with a lint-free cloth.
[0051] Step 200: Surface active peptide treatment. Apply the active peptide remover for improper makeup on the surface of stone artifacts using any of the technical solutions in this embodiment by spraying or brushing to form an active peptide layer. Cover the active peptide layer with plastic wrap and allow it to stand.
[0052] For example, an active peptide remover is sprayed onto the surface of the unsuitable cosmetic layer using an air spray gun. The nozzle diameter is 1 mm, and the pressure is 0.1-0.15 MPa. After spraying the active peptide remover, the resulting active peptide layer is 0.3-1 mm thick. Allowing it to stand for 15-60 minutes allows the peptide molecules to penetrate the interface between the cosmetic and the stone, disrupting their adhesion. For example, covering the active peptide layer with polyethylene plastic wrap can prevent solvent evaporation.
[0053] For example, the settling time is determined based on the thickness of the imperfect coating layer. When the coating thickness is <50μm, settling time is 15-20 minutes. When the coating thickness is 50-100μm, settling time is 20-40 minutes. When the coating thickness is >100μm, settling time is 40-60 minutes. This allows the peptide molecules to fully penetrate to the interface between the coating and the stone, thereby improving the cleaning effect. The imperfect coating thickness is measured using an ultrasonic thickness gauge (accuracy ±1μm) at at least three different points, and the average value is taken.
[0054] Step 300: Steam cleaning. The cosmetic surface treated in step 200 is steam cleaned.
[0055] For example, a portable steam generator (power 2-3kW, weight ≤5kg) is used to steam clean the undesirable decoration surface after step 200. The steam generator is equipped with an adjustable temperature and pressure control system, controlling the steam temperature to 50-80℃, the steam pressure to 0.1-0.3MPa, the steam velocity at the nozzle outlet to 5-15m / s, and the vertical distance between the nozzle and the decoration surface to 10-30cm. The nozzle is moved at a uniform speed of 10-20cm / s in a direction parallel to the stone surface, and the cleaning time is 1-5 minutes, which can remove 70-90% of the undesirable decoration.
[0056] For example, the steam temperature and steam pressure are determined based on the porosity of the stone. For stone artifacts with a porosity >15% (such as sandstone), the steam temperature is 65-80℃ and the steam pressure is 0.2-0.3MPa. For stone artifacts with a porosity of 5-15% (such as limestone), the steam temperature is 60-75℃ and the steam pressure is 0.15-0.25MPa. For stone artifacts with a porosity <5% (such as marble), the steam temperature is 50-65℃ and the steam pressure is 0.1-0.2MPa.
[0057] For high-porosity stone, dirt easily adheres to the pores. For this type of stone, controlling the steam temperature to 65-80℃ and the steam pressure to 0.2-0.3MPa is beneficial for softening the dirt deep within the pores through a strong thermal effect, while simultaneously using stronger kinetic energy to flush the dirt out of the complex pores. For low-porosity stone, dirt mostly adheres to the surface. For this type of stone, excessively high temperatures and pressures may damage the stone substrate; therefore, only moderate thermal effects and kinetic energy are needed to disrupt the interfacial bonding.
[0058] Step 400: Sandblasting removal. The residual makeup after step 300 is sandblasted to remove any remaining unsuitable makeup.
[0059] For example, a pressure-type sandblasting machine is used to sandblast the residual decoration after step 300. The sandblasting machine includes a sand hopper, an air compressor, and an adjustable speed nozzle assembly. The sandblasting medium is nutshell sand or quartz sand with a particle size of 0.1-0.5mm. The sandblasting pressure is controlled at 0.2-0.4MPa, the vertical distance between the sandblasting head and the stone surface is 20-50cm, the nozzle scanning speed is 50-200mm / s, the spot overlap rate is 50-70%, and the coverage width of a single sandblasting path is 5-10cm, which can remove 10-30% of the residual undesirable decoration.
[0060] For example, the particle size of the blasting medium is determined based on the thickness of the residual undesirable paint. For instance, when the thickness of the residual paint is ≤50μm, a blasting medium with a particle size of 0.1-0.3mm is selected; when the thickness of the residual paint is >50μm, a blasting medium with a particle size of 0.2-0.3mm is selected. Larger particle sizes in the blasting medium result in greater mass and kinetic energy, leading to a greater impact force on the undesirable paint and a deeper grinding depth. In this embodiment, the particle size of the blasting medium is determined based on the thickness of the residual undesirable paint, which ensures effective removal of the paint while avoiding damage to the stone substrate.
[0061] Furthermore, the type of blasting medium can be determined based on the hardness of the residual impurities. For example, when the Shore hardness of the residual impurities is ≤65D, nutshell sand is selected; when the Shore hardness of the residual impurities is >65D, quartz sand is selected. Quartz sand needs to be calcined at 1000℃ for 1 hour to remove impurities. Nutshell sand can be walnut shell sand, peanut shell sand, coconut shell sand, etc. Nutshell sand needs to be dried at 105℃ for 2 hours, with a moisture content of <5%. Walnut shell sand has a Mohs hardness of 3-4, which is close to the hardness of the stone, thus avoiding scratches; calcined quartz sand has a low impurity content, reducing contamination to the stone surface. In this embodiment, the type of blasting medium is determined based on the hardness of the residual impurities, which ensures the removal effect of the impurities while avoiding damage to the stone substrate.
[0062] For example, the sandblasting pressure and scanning speed are determined based on the surface roughness of the stone artifact. When the surface roughness of the stone artifact is <10μm, the sandblasting pressure is 0.2-0.25MPa and the scanning speed is 150-200mm / s. When the surface roughness of the stone artifact is 10μm ≤ 30μm, the sandblasting pressure is 0.25-0.35MPa and the scanning speed is 80-150mm / s. When the surface roughness of the stone artifact is >30μm, the sandblasting pressure is 0.35-0.4MPa and the scanning speed is 50-80mm / s.
[0063] This embodiment describes a method for removing inappropriate decorations from the surface of stone artifacts. Through the aforementioned steps of surface active peptide treatment and steam cleaning, the pressure of sandblasting can be reduced, thus avoiding mechanical damage to the surface of the stone artifacts.
[0064] Step 500: Post-treatment. Rinse the stone surface treated in step 400 with deionized water to remove residual peptide agents, paint debris, and sandblasting media particles. Wipe off surface moisture with a lint-free cloth and allow to air dry before applying a protective treatment to the stone artifact surface.
[0065] For example, rinse the stone surface treated in step 400 with deionized water using a low-pressure spray method for 1-3 minutes to remove residual peptide preparations, paint debris, and sandblasting media particles. Then, blot the surface moisture with a lint-free cloth and allow it to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated environment at room temperature and a relative humidity of 40-60% for 24-48 hours. After drying, selectively apply a 1-3% concentration of silane-based stone protectant (such as γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane) with a thickness ≤0.1mm, and allow it to cure for 24 hours. The protectant will form a protective film after curing. After curing, the water contact angle can be increased from 30° to over 90°, improving the weathering resistance of stone artifacts by more than 50%.
[0066] For example, drying time is adjusted based on the porosity of the stone. Sandstone is dried for 48 hours, limestone for 36 hours, and marble for 24 hours, ensuring that the moisture content of the stone is reduced to <2% to avoid residual moisture causing salting out.
[0067] This embodiment describes a method for removing inappropriate paint from the surface of stone artifacts. First, an active peptide remover is applied to the surface of the inappropriate paint layer. Then, steam is used to clean the layer. Finally, sandblasting is used to remove any remaining paint. This "active peptide-steam-sandblasting" technology, using the active peptide remover as the core and combining steam softening with low-pressure sandblasting, can improve the removal efficiency of inappropriate paint by over 90%. For paint films up to 100μm thick, the processing time is short. It is suitable for paint of varying thicknesses (>100μm) and (<50μm), without requiring multiple process adjustments. The active peptide remover, steam, and sandblasting medium used are all environmentally friendly materials that can naturally degrade after disposal, resulting in no solid waste pollution.
[0068] Any one of the technical solutions in this embodiment is used for the application of a method for removing inappropriate decorations from the surface of stone cultural relics. This method is applicable to removing one or more of epoxy resin paint, alkyd resin paint, polyurethane paint and acrylic paint from the surface of stone cultural relics. The stone material of the stone cultural relics is one or more of sandstone, limestone, marble, granite and basalt, and the surface of the stone cultural relics has carved textures, inscriptions or thin oxide films.
[0069] This embodiment describes a method for removing undue decorations from the surface of stone artifacts. It has a wide range of applications, specifically for removing various undue decorations such as epoxy resin paint, alkyd paint, and mineral pigments. It is suitable for various types of stone, including sandstone, limestone, and marble. By adjusting parameters (such as steam temperature, steam pressure, and sandblasting pressure), it can be adapted to stones with different porosities and hardness. This method for removing undue decorations from the surface of stone artifacts is portable, easy to operate, and suitable for outdoor grottoes, open-air stone carvings, and other similar settings. It eliminates the need for frequent relocation of artifacts, reducing the risk of damage during handling.
[0070] The following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific examples.
[0071] All raw materials used in the embodiments were commercially available conventional products. For example, soybean peptides were purchased from Shanghai Yuanye Biotechnology Co., Ltd., with a purity of ≥95%; xanthan gum was purchased from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd., and was food grade; all testing equipment used were industry-standard equipment. For example, the surface roughness meter was a Tokyo Seimitsu Surfcom 1500SD, and the colorimeter was a Konica Minolta CM-2600d.
[0072] Example 1 This embodiment addresses the removal of inappropriate decorations from the surface of sandstone artifacts.
[0073] 1. Background of the artifact: Sandstone artifact with a porosity of 18% and a surface roughness of Ra=22μm. The surface is coated with an 80μm thick epoxy resin paint (Shore hardness 70D), which is an embellishment added due to improper restoration in modern times.
[0074] 2. The active peptide remover for removing inappropriate makeup from the surface of stone cultural relics in this embodiment is formulated as follows: by weight percentage, soybean peptide 2%, deep-sea fish skin peptide 1%, xanthan gum 0.3%, citric acid 0.05%, deionized water 96.65%, pH=7.0.
[0075] 3. The preparation method of the active peptide remover for improper makeup removal on the surface of stone cultural relics in this embodiment includes the following steps: Raw material pretreatment: Soybean peptides and deep-sea fish skin peptides were filtered through an 80-mesh sieve to remove agglomerated particles; 0.3g of xanthan gum was pre-dissolved in deionized water at 60℃ for 10 minutes to prepare a 5% stock solution; the deionized water was filtered through a 0.22μm microporous membrane to remove coarse particulate impurities. The treated raw materials were then set aside for later use.
[0076] Preparation of main solvent: Add 96.65g of deionized water to a temperature-controlled 316L stainless steel reactor, turn on the stirrer (300r / min), control the temperature at 28℃, slowly add 2g of soybean peptide and 1g of deep-sea fish skin peptide, stir for 12min until completely dissolved, and the solution is transparent.
[0077] Stabilizer addition: Add xanthan gum to the above solution in three portions, increasing the stirring speed to 500 r / min, stirring for 10 min after each addition, until the solution is homogeneous.
[0078] pH adjustment and purification: Adjust the pH of the above solution to 7.0 with 0.05g citric acid and stir for 5 minutes. Filter the solution through a 100-mesh nylon filter cloth and let it stand for 12 minutes to allow the bubbles to escape naturally until the bubbles with a diameter >1mm completely disappear. This yields an active peptide remover for removing inappropriate makeup from the surface of stone artifacts.
[0079] 4. This embodiment describes a method for removing inappropriate decorations from the surface of stone artifacts, comprising the following steps: Step 100: Pretreatment. Use a soft brush to sweep away the floating dust along the sandstone texture, and then wipe the sandstone surface with a lint-free cloth soaked in deionized water to remove water-soluble dirt; rinse the cracks with deionized water using a 0.5mm needle syringe, and immediately dry with a lint-free cloth after rinsing.
[0080] Step 200: Surface active peptide treatment. Apply the active peptide remover prepared using the above formula to the surface of the improperly decorated sandstone layer by spraying (1mm nozzle diameter, 0.1MPa pressure) to form an active peptide layer. Cover the active peptide layer with plastic wrap and let it stand for 30 minutes. During the standing period, add activated carbon remover once to prevent drying.
[0081] Step 300: Steam Cleaning. A portable steam generator is used to steam clean the surface of the applied coating after step 200. The steam generator parameters are set to 70℃, steam pressure of 0.25MPa, nozzle outlet steam velocity of 10m / s, and the vertical distance between the nozzle and the surface of the applied coating is 20cm. The nozzle is moved at a uniform speed of 15cm / s parallel to the sandstone surface, and the cleaning time is 3 minutes. After steam cleaning, approximately 85% (thickness) of the undesirable coating can be removed.
[0082] Step 400: Sandblasting Removal. A pressure-type sandblasting machine is used to sandblast the residual decoration after step 300 to remove it. The sandblasting medium is 0.3mm walnut shell abrasive. The sandblasting pressure is controlled at 0.3MPa, the vertical distance between the sandblasting head and the stone surface is 30cm, the nozzle scanning speed is 100mm / s, the spot overlap rate is 60%, the single sandblasting path coverage width is 7cm, and the cleaning time is 2 minutes. After sandblasting removal, the residual decoration is removed.
[0083] Step 500: Post-treatment. Spray the sandstone surface treated in step 400 with deionized water at a pressure of 0.08 MPa, with the outlet 30 cm from the sandstone surface, for 2 minutes. After spraying, blot dry with a lint-free cloth and allow to dry at 25°C and 50% humidity for 36 hours. In this embodiment, no protective agent was applied to the cleaned sandstone surface.
[0084] 5. Removal effect test.

[0086] (2) Damage detection: The surface roughness of the sandstone after cleaning was tested. In this embodiment, the surface roughness of the sandstone after cleaning was Ra=19.9μm, which was basically the same as before cleaning; no new cracks were observed under a microscope.
[0087] (3) Environmental friendliness: Residual active peptide remover was detected using fluorescence derivatization-microscopic imaging. Specifically, after cleaning using the above method, the surface was allowed to air dry for 36 hours. A fluorescent dye (such as fluorescent amine or o-phthalaldehyde OPA) was used to specifically react with the primary amino group (-NH2) at the end of the peptide chain, generating a product with strong fluorescence. The average fluorescence intensity of the entire surface was calculated using image analysis software (ImageJ). By establishing a standard curve (by adding a known concentration of active peptide solution to a clean sandstone surface and performing the same treatment), the fluorescence intensity could be converted into residual amount (μg / cm³). 2 The residual amount of surfactant peptide remover on sandstone is <0.1 μg / cm³. 2 This can be ignored.
[0088] (4) Degradation rate test: The degradation of the formulation in this embodiment was measured within 30 days according to OECD 301B standard. The degradation rate of the active peptide remover in this embodiment was 92.3%.
[0089] (5) Color difference: Based on GB / T 11186.3-1989, the color difference between the stone surface after cleaning and the original rock was tested. Using a colorimeter, the ΔE before and after cleaning in this embodiment was 1.6, which means that the color after cleaning is basically the same as the color of the original rock, which meets the requirements of cultural relic protection standard ΔE≤2.0.

[0097] Step 200: Surface active peptide treatment. Apply the active peptide remover prepared using the above formula to the surface of the sandstone with an improper makeup layer by brushing (using a wool brush) to a thickness of 0.8 mm, forming an active peptide layer. Cover the active peptide layer with plastic wrap and let it stand for 45 minutes. During the standing period, add activated charcoal remover once to prevent drying.

The nozzle is moved at a uniform speed of 15cm / s parallel to the limestone surface for 2 minutes. After steam cleaning, approximately 88% (thickness) of the undesirable coating can be removed.
[0136] Step 400: Sandblasting Removal. A pressure-type sandblasting machine is used to sandblast the residual decoration after step 300 to remove it.
