Scope1.1 This test method2is intended for application todissolving-type cellulose pulps prepared from cotton or wood.The procedure i

3、s not directly applicable to unrefined pulps foruse in chemical conversion processes because solubility equi-librium may not be attained within the specified extractiontime.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3

Summary of Test Method3.1 Pulp is steeped in a sodium hydroxide solution of aspec

6、ified concentration for1hat20C. The soluble fraction isestimated by dichromate oxidation of the filtered steepingalkali. The concentration of sodium hydroxide used in the pulpextraction process must be reported as part of the analyticalresult. Sodium hydroxide concentrations of 10, 18, and 21.5 %are

7、 most frequently used. Data are reported as percent of drysample weight.3.2 The extraction procedure avoids dilution sequences, andtherefore, the results are not comparable to data obtained by thealpha, beta, gamma methods of pulp fractionation (see TAPPIMethod T 429). The terms “alpha-,” “beta-,” o

8、r “gamma-”cellulose must not be applied to any test values obtained by thisprocedure since they are defined only by the method of theirdetermination.3.3 The essential feature of the method is to prepare sodiumhydroxide extracts and oxidize the soluble material withdichromate as described. Alternativ

9、e methods of estimatingdichromate by titration with ferrous ammonium sulfate andsodium thiosulfate are described.4. Significance and Use4.1 The measurement of soluble oxidizable components ofcellulose in sodium hydroxide is indicative of the purity of thecellulose sample, since pure cellulose is ins

10、oluble in sodiumhydroxide. The extracted components are typically hemicellu-loses, which are naturally present in the wood. Differences inpulp purity can have a dramatic impact on the processing andproperties of the cellulose derivatives produced from the pulp.5. Apparatus5.1 Constant-Temperature Ba

Preparation o

28、f Samples8.1 Condition the air-dry pulp samples to obtain moistureequilibrium by exposing them to the atmosphere for 24 h in theroom where the portions of this sample will be weighed formoisture and solubility analysis.8.2 If the pulp is in sheeted form, tear it into pieces about 10mm square. Do not

29、 use cut edges. Weigh a portion for moistureanalysis and immediately also weigh, to the nearest 1 mg,about 1.6 g of the air-dry sample for the solubility determina-tion.8.3 Determine the moisture content of the air-dry sample inaccordance with Test Methods D1348. Calculate the oven-dryweight of the

30、sample for the solubility determination.9. Procedure9.1 Precool the NaOH solutions to 20C. Pulp solubility in18 and 21.5 % NaOH solutions is not affected by a few degreesvariation in temperature. Hence, temperatures of 20 6 2C aresatisfactory in this case. However, pulp solubility in 10 %NaOH soluti

31、on is very sensitive to temperature variation. Theoperator must control temperature to 20 6 0.2C in all phasesof pulp extraction with 10 % NaOH solution.9.2 With a pipet or buret, transfer 100 mL of the NaOHsolution of the desired concentration (10, 18, or 21.5 %) into a250-mL beaker. Add the 1.6 g

32、air-dry pulp sample to thesolution. Allow the pulp to swell for 2 min; then introduce thestirring apparatus into the beaker so that the surface of theliquid coincides with the draft tube top. Disintegrate the pulpby stirring for 3 min (Note 1). Adjust the stirring speed toprevent addition of air to

33、the slurry (about 1500 rpm). Removethe stirrer. Carefully clean the stirring apparatus and walls ofthe beaker with a glass rod so that all pulp fibers are retainedin the alkali. Cover the beaker with a watch glass and leave inthe 20C bath until a total of 60 min have elapsed from the timeof addition

34、 of NaOH to the sample. For solubility determina-tions in 10 % NaOH solution, all extraction operations must beperformed with the sample container in the constant-temperature water bath. In work with 18 or 21.5 % NaOH, thesample container may be removed from the bath for thedisintegration process.NO

35、TE 1Most pulps are completely disintegrated after 3 min. Areasonable increase in the time of disintegration does not sensibly affectthe solubility. On the other hand, low values are obtained if thedisintegration is not complete. The stirrer should, therefore, be run untilcomplete disintegration is o

36、btained, even if the time required exceeds 3min.9.3 At the end of the 1-h total extraction time, remove thebeaker from the bath and immediately filter the slurry througha coarse fritted-glass filter. Apply suction but do not pull airthrough the cellulose mat on the filter. Discard the first 10 mLof

37、filtrate. If suspended fibers are noted in the filtrate, recyclethe filtrate through the cellulose mat to clarify. Retain thefiltrate in a stoppered Erlenmeyer flask.9.4 Transfer 10-mL aliquots of the NaOH filtrates to250-mL Erlenmeyer flasks. Add 10 mL K2Cr2O7solution toeach flask; then carefully a

38、dd 30 mL of H2SO4to each flask.After 10 min (Note 2), cool to room temperature. Include ablank test with the original NaOH extraction solution in thisoperation.NOTE 2It is suggested that heat be applied to maintain a temperaturein the range of 125 to 130C for the entire 10-min period. A reflux syste

39、mis highly satisfactory.9.5 The 10-mL aliquot of the NaOH filtrates specified in 9.4is generally suitable for dissolving-type pulps; however, if thealkali solubility is greater than 16 %, reduce the volume offiltrate to 5 mL and the volume of H2SO4to 25 mL. For pulpswith alkali solubility less than

40、5 %, use 20 mLof filtrate and 45mL of H2SO4.9.6 After dichromate oxidation, add 50 mL of water to eachsample and the blank. Cool again to room temperature. Titratethe excess K2Cr2O7with 0.1 N ferrous ammonium sulfatesolution. An electrometric titrimeter is preferred for thisoperation. If this equipm

41、ent is not available, ferroin indicatormay be used to detect the end point.9.7 An acceptable alternative for measuring dichromateconcentration is to use iodometric methods. In this case,transfer the cooled solution with about 500 mL of water to a1-L Erlenmeyer flask. Add about 2 g of Kl and after 5

42、mintitrate the solution to a visual end point with 0.1 N Na2S2O3solution, using starch as the indicator. Make a blank test on theoriginal NaOH extraction solution in the same manner.7This reagent is required only for the iodometric method for measuringdichromate (see section 9.7). Thyodene, supplied

43、 by Fisher Scientific Co., Pitts-burgh, PA is an acceptable substitute.D1696 95 (2011)310.
