“…These two acids have been pointed out as potential indicators of paper degradation. 17 More noteworthy is the fact that the concentration of the two acids was higher in the tideline than in the other areas both before and after aging: 300 to 2000 times higher. Before aging, acids were nearly absent above and below the tideline (not quantifiable).…”

Formation of Brown Lines in Paper: Characterization of Cellulose Degradation at the Wet−Dry Interface

Brown lines were generated at the wet-dry interface on Whatman paper No. 1 by suspending the sheet vertically in deionized water. Formic acid and acetic acid were quantified in three areas of the paper defined by the wet-dry boundary (above, below, and at the tideline) using capillary zone electrophoresis with indirect UV detection. Their concentration increased upon accelerated aging of the paper and was highest in the tideline. The hydroperoxides have been quantified using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection based on the determination of triphenylphosphine oxide produced from the reaction with triphenylphosphine, and their highest concentration was found in the tideline as well. For the first time, it was shown that various types of hydroperoxides were present, water-soluble and non-water-soluble, most probably in part hydroperoxide functionalized cellulose. After accelerated aging, a significant increase in hydroperoxide concentration was found in all the paper areas. The molar masses of cellulose determined using size-exclusion chromatography with multiangle light scattering detection showed that, upon aging, cellulose degraded significantly more in the tideline area than in the other areas of the paper. The area below the tideline was more degraded than the area above. A kinetic study of the degradation of cellulose allowed determining the constants for glycosidic bond breaking in each of the areas of the paper.

“…Extraction of paper specimens can provide another attractive approach for analysis of possible reactions occurring within paper during storage (Shahani 1995;Dupont et al 2007;Krascenits 2007;Lehotay and Hrobonova 2007;Bogolitsyna et al 2011). As noted earlier, Ehrardt et al (1987) compared extracts from filter paper obtained before and after accelerated aging carried out under either dry or moist conditions and noted profound differences.…”

“…A variety of VOCs are known to be emitted from paper and other cellulose-based materials during degradation (Emsley and Stevens, 1994;Lattuati-Derieux et al, 2004;Lattuati-Derieux et al, 2006;Dupont et al, 2007;Strlič et al, 2007;Ramalho et al, 2009). The resulting VOC emission patterns are known to be complex (Strlič and Kolar, 2008), however, a number of volatile organic compounds were recently identified as specific degradation markers using material degradomics (Strlič et al, 2009).…”

Volatile aldehydes are produced during degradation of paper-based materials. This may result in their accumulation in archival and library repositories. However, no systematic study has been performed so far. In the frame of this study, passive sampling was carried out at ten locations in four libraries and archives. Despite the very variable sampling locations, no major differences were found, although air-filtered repositories were found to have lower concentrations while a non-ventilated newspaper repository exhibited the highest concentrations of volatile aldehydes (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, furfural and hexanal). Five employees in one institution were also provided with personal passive samplers to investigate employees' exposure to volatile aldehydes. All values were lower than the presently valid exposure limits.The concentration of volatile aldehydes, acetic acid, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in general was also compared with that of outdoor-generated pollutants. It was evident that inside the repository and particularly inside archival boxes, the concentration of VOCs and acetic acid was much higher than the concentration of outdoor-generated pollutants, which are otherwise more routinely studied in connection with heritage materials. This indicates that further work on the pro-degradative effect of VOCs on heritage materials is necessary and that monitoring of VOCs in heritage institutions should become more widespread.
