Various cellulose samples were dipped in glacial acetic solutions of the acetylation catalysts, HClO
4 and H
2SO
4, and their sorption rates were measured for different concentrations and temperatures by non-aqueous titration method.
The following results were obtained.
1) Their equilibrium sorpions followed the Freundlich's isotherm
x=
kcn, and
k,
n were determined for each catalyst and temperature.
2) Apparent sorption heats obtained from the Clapeyron's equation were 4.3 for ZnCl
2, 8.5 for H
2SO
4, 13.6 kcal/mol for HClO
4.
3) From these values, it was deduced that ZnCl
2 combines with cellulose by the van der Waal's force, H
2SO
4 by the hydrogen bond, and HClO
4 by the hydrogen bond including some chemical bond.
4) The HClO
4-isotherms measured by the desorption method were lower than those by the concentration method, and their difference was ascribed to the presence of some chemisorption.
5) The amount of adsorbed H
2SO
4 was minimum for air-dried regenerated celluloses and maximum for the cellulose treated by H
2O-AcOH. These facts are probably related to the defficuity of acetylation of air dried regenerated cellulose and the easy reactivity of its inclusion cellulose.
6) The inclusion treatment was almost ineffective on the H
2SO
4-sorption for natural cellulose but effective for mercerised natural cellulose, and mercerisation-inclusion treatment was effective merely on the sorption rate for natural cellulose.
