Highlights: [•] Digital image processing of EDX analysis allow knowing the composition of the salts inside and over the walls. [•] The arithmetic combinations of the logical images allow establishing the spatial distribution of the efflorescences. [•] The methodology developed is very useful to carry out an in-depth study of the stratification of saline minerals on walls. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
