To make clear that the characteristics of S-W curve
1) obtained as a function of the amounts of carbon disulfide added at emulsion xanthation, have the significance as a measure of reactivity of dissolving pulp, it is desirable to make clear the correlation between the characteristics of S-W curve and the state of solution of viscose prepared by emulsion xanthation.
The paper discusses, the state of solution of viscose is estimated from the variation of properties of undissolved residues during emulsion xantation. γ-value, amount of highly ordered region and average degree of polymerization are determined on the undissolved residue at varying solubility. Microscopic observation is also carried out on the residue at varying solubility.
The results obtained are as follows:
1) The process of reaction during emulsion xanthation of pulp is devided into three stages from the variation of ratio of degree of sulfidation to dissolution. Variation of amounts of the dissolved in three stages respectively depends on the properties of the pulp, lateral order, degree of polymerization of cellulose and the state of outer layer of fiber. Of the above properties, the last is the most effective on the solubility.
2) The results of γ-value determined and microscopic observation of undissolved residue indicate that the peeling-off reaction from outer surface to center of fiber take place partially.
3) It is considered that the ununiformity of the state of solution of viscose correlates to the ununiformity of S-W curve (A
2/A
3-1), obtained in the previous paper
1)(see Fig. 1). Consequently it is feasible that ununiformity of S-W curve as a measure of reactivity of dissolving pulp be expressed by(A
2/A
3-1).
