This method may require the use, disposal, or both, of chemicals which may present serious health hazards to humans. Procedures for the ha

Hexeneuronic acid content of chemical pulp 1. S
7、cope This method describes a procedure to determine hexeneuronic acid groups (HexA) in chemical pulps. HexA affects the kappa number determination by reaction with permanganate, and can react with certain bleaching chemicals, e.g. chlorine dioxide and ozone, but not with some others such as oxygen a
8、nd peroxide. 2. Summary The method is based on the highly selective hydrolysis of HexA from a pulp sample in a mercuric chloride-sodium acetate solution. Complete hydrolysis of HexA from pulps is achieved within 30 minutes by choosing the appropriate hydrolysis conditions (the concentration of the h
9、ydrolysis agent and the composition of the hydrolysis solution) and temperature. The amount of HexA is directly determined by UV spectrophotometry from the resulting hydrolysis solution (1). A dual-wavelength spectroscopic technique (at 260 and 290 nm) is used to eliminate the spectral interference
10、from the leached lignin in the resulting solution. 3. Significance The presence of the HexA increases chlorine dioxide consumption in chlorine dioxide bleaching. It also causes overestimation of the residual lignin in pulps, which could lead to over dosage of peroxide in peroxide bleaching. Even a s
11、mall amount of HexA can bond with transition metals and reduce pulp brightness stability. These effects are more significant for hardwood chemical pulps. Because pulping temperature and alkaline profiles can affect HexA formation and degradation, the variation of HexA in chemical pulps is significan
12、t. Accurate quantification of HexA content in chemical pulps has practical importance. 4. Definition The main uronic acid group in chemical pulps is 4-deoxy-L-threo-hex-4-enopyranosyluronic acid (hexenuronic acid, HexA). This acid does not exist in native wood but is formed in chemical (alkaline) pu

Procedure 8.1 Weigh 0.05 0.0005 g pulp sample using an analytical balance accurate to 0.0002 g with known moisture content from the sample obtained from Section 7 and add it into a 20-mL vial containing 10 mL of hydrolysis solu

For samples where anticipated level (or the measured level of HexA found in a preliminary analysis) is below 5 mol/g, the analysis should be repeated using a 0.5 0.005 g sample to increase sensitivity. 8.2 Heat
