STAR of the Month

ANSI/TAPPI T 212 om-22: One percent sodium hydroxide solubility of wood and pulp

Scope
This method for determination of 1% sodium hydroxide solubility can be applied to wood and to unbleached and bleached pulp.

Summary
Wood or pulp is extracted with hot 1% sodium hydroxide solution for 1 h. The loss in weight is determined and calculated as percent solubility.

Significance
3.1 Hot alkali solution extracts low-molecular-weight carbohydrates consisting mainly of hemicellulose and degraded cellulose in wood and pulp.
3.2 The solubility of wood could indicate the degree of a fungus decay or of degradation by heat, light, oxidation, etc. As the wood decays or degrades, the percentage of the alkali-soluble material increases (1, 2).
3.3 The solubility of pulp indicates an extent of cellulose degradation during pulping and bleaching processes and has been related to strength and other properties of pulp (3).

Publishing date: November 2022

Searching and Ordering TAPPI Standards, TIPs, and Useful Methods

Details on how to search and order TAPPI StandardsTIPs, and Useful Methods can be found on the TAPPI website’s Search and Order page.

All individual TIPs or Standards are available for electronic or paper delivery. For electronic delivery, the documents are e-mailed in PDF format.  Hard copy documents can be mailed or faxed, but shipping and handling costs will apply.

For Individual TIPs, order Item Number: 0108____ (Insert TIP number)

For Individual Standards, order Item Number: 0104T____ (Insert Standard number)

For individual Useful Methods, order item number: 0104UM_____ (Insert UM number)
