Impermanent acid papers can ordinarily be stabilized using alkaline earth carbonates. However, paper which contains transition metal catalysts, compounds of copper, cobalt, or iron can still fail by oxidative degradation. Paper was treated with copper acetate at various pH levels, given accelerated aging, and the degradation was followed by the change in folding endurance. There was more drop in folding endurance in the humid than in the dry oven. Dryoven aging has little predictive value for oxidative degradation.

T ) a p e r , which was invented i n China around the beginning of the Christian era, lasts well when properly made and properly stored. A specimen of what once was considered the oldest paper i n the world was found i n 1942 i n the ruins of a watchtower i n Tsakhortei, south of the Bayan Bogdo mountains i n the modern Ninghsia area. This fragment, discovered b y Professors L a o K a n and Shih Chang-ju of the Academia Sinica, is a crumpled ball of coarse, heavy paper on which are written about two dozen decipherable characters. T h e frag­ ment is believed to have been buried accidentally around A.D. 109 when the military post was abandoned during an attack b y the western Hsi-ch'iang tribe. In Professor Lao's opinion, the paper, made of vegetable fibers, was produced about the time of Ts'ai L u n ( J ) . A more recent discovery at a tomb at Pa-ch'iao i n Sian, a modern city i n Shensi province, yielded paper specimens that may be older than those found at Tsakhortei. Scraps of thin, yellowish paper found there in M a y 1957 are believed to belong to the western H a n dynasty, 202B.C-A.D.

smooth dispersion. The sheet was formed by filtration on a flat screen. O n drying, the fibers bonded together as a result of the beating. Simple as papermaking thus appears, the invention seems to have been made only once, i n China, and all papermakers derive their art from the orient. The Chinese managed to keep papermaking a secret for several centuries. However, the knowledge was finally spread by the fortunes of war. Papermaking was introduced to the city of Samarkand i n A.D. 751. According to an old Arabic manuscript, "Routes of Travel and Kingdoms," two papermakers were among the prisoners taken by the governor of Samarkand on a raid of Chinese territory. The two captives offered to exchange the knowledge of their craft for their freedom. Samarkand, with its abundant stock of flax and hemp and a ready supply of water from irrigation canals, was naturally suited to papermaking. The craft developed quickly and "Paper of Samarkand" soon became an important article of commerce. A second factory was started i n Baghdad i n A.D. 795 when Harun al-Rashid brought Chinese papermakers to the capital city (2). More than a thousand years passed between the invention of paper and its introduction into Spain by the Moors. After learning the trade at Samarkand, the Arabs monopolized papermaking i n the West for five centuries. Not until Spain was captured by the Moors did papermaking spread to Europe. The Arab conquerors of the Iberian peninsula wasted no time in establishing local mills for the production of paper and by the middle of the twelfth century, papermaking was an industry i n the Spanish cities of Xativa (or Jativa) and Toledo. A n early reference to papermills in Spain is found i n the writings of traveler A b u 'Abdallah Muhammad al-Idrisi. Describing Xativa in A.D. 1150, he wrote: "Schatiba is a charm­ ing town with castles whose beauty and strength have become proverbial. Paper is there prepared as nowhere else i n the civilized universe and is sent both East and West (3). The papermaking process which the Europeans learned from the Arabs made excellent, long-lasting paper. Here are directions written i n A . D . 1025: According to ibn Badis, the flax is soaked in quicklime, rubbed with the hands, and spread out i n the sun to dry. It is then returned to fresh quicklime. This is repeated a number of times. Then it is washed free of the quicklime many times, pounded in a mortar, washed, and intro­ duced into molds of the proper measure. Care is exerted so that the thickness of the paper is regular. It is then left to dry. It is treated with rice water or bran water. Starch is also used for this purpose. It also helps to glaze the surface of the paper (4). W h i l e the papermakers stayed with these fundamentals, they made excellent paper. The old books i n the libraries of Europe are still, generally, i n good condition. However, as the demand for paper grew, changes were made i n the process, which, while they increased produc-

tion, proved unfortunate from the standpoint of the permanence of the paper and of the records kept thereon.

"Improvements" in the Papermaking Process The Chinese and Arabs worked the cellulose fibers b y beating the moist fibrous mass or pounding it i n a mortar and pestle. The resulting "fibrillation" gave the necessary fiber-to-fiber bond i n the sheet. Euro­ peans exchanged the mortar and pestle for iron shod stampers driven by water power. In 1700, the Hollander beater came into use. The "Hollander" moved the stock i n a circular path with a wheel on which iron bars were set. These bars worked the fibers against a stationary, iron-bed plate. The fibers were fibrillated as desired. They were also bruised, fractured, and disintegrated. The iron beating tackle wore away, introducing iron into the paper where, functioning as an oxidation cata­ lyst, it caused yellowing and foxing. Scheele's discovery of chlorine i n 1774 led to its use to bleach stock. This often brought the degree of oxidation of the stock too high with disastrous consequences to the M e of the paper. As demand for paper continued to increase, the supply of rags could not meet the requirements. The papermaker was forced to turn to wood for the necessary fiber. Chemical methods for separating cellulose from the lignin i n wood were developed. These rather severe treatments often brought the degree of polymerization of the cellulose too low for permanence. The paper machine came into use around 1830. Before, paper had been sized i n a separate operation with gelatine or glue. N o w a new size was introduced, rosin and alum, which could be added to the beaten stock. The paper then came from the machine i n the sized condition. The amount of alum required for sizing left the paper acid. This was the final blow to permanence. A c i d paper does not last well; it quickly turns brown and brittle. The life of paper which under good conditions could be 2000 years now was reduced to around 75 years. Consumer Reaction The new, poor-quality papers brought forth many well-deserved adverse comments. These continue to the present day. Murray (5) wrote i n 1824, "I have i n my possession a large copy of the Bible, printed at Oxford, 1816, (never used) crumbling Hterally into dust." I n 1825 Thomas Hansard (6) spoke of "whole piles of quired stock, meaning books unbound . . . crumbling to dust i n the warehouses of booksellers." In 1856 Herring (7) n o t e d , " . . . It was not at all an uncommon occurrence for a parcel of paper to become so completely perished from the circum­ stances of its not having been thoroughly washed after bleaching that

an entire ream, composed of 480 sheets, might be as readily snapped asunder as a piece of rotten wood." There were many people who believed that the problems arose from abandoning rag as the source of the fiber. I n 1891 Johnson (8) wrote: "Centuries hence, some bibliographer w i l l construct an ingenious theory to explain why no books were printed between 1870 and 19—, the date at which we accomplish the destruction of the forests and begin again on cotton." Kingery (9) spoke for all librarians in 1960 when he stated that half of the books i n the N . Y . Public Library needed repair. " A casual exami­ nation of the current intake indicates that about 25% of it w i l l require attention with nine years. Ten percent should have immediate attention . . . we are well along towards spending half as much each year on keeping our collection as we are i n adding to it . . . disregarding what we spend on binding." Suggestions began to be made on methods of holding brittle paper and its message together. Martens (10) i n 1911 advocated treating decayed papers and parchments with a cellulose acetate solution. L y d e n berg (11) i n 1915 described a method of protecting paper with rice paste and Japanese tissue. H e calculated that to bind an ordinary daily paper i n this way would cost $420 a year. B y now a multitude of methods of preserving information are available—lamination of paper or encap­ sulation, microforms, magnetic tape, etc. E a c h new method brings i n new unknowns in regard to its own permanence, and many would not be necessary or desirable if paper were made correctly. Finding the Trouble Scientific investigations were launched to discover what had gone wrong with paper. In 1912 Hjelmsatter (12) exposed a number of papers to sunlight from June to August and measured the loss in properties. In all the papers, including some tub-sized, hand-made papers, the exposure to light produced a profound deterioration i n the resistance to folding. The size disappeared i n all cases, and the rosin-sized samples were badly discolored. F r o m tests i n which papers were steeped in solutions of aluminum sulfate, potassium sulfate, and aluminum acetate and then exposed to light, Hjelmsatter concluded that the deterioration was brought about by the presence of aluminum sulfate. Kohler and H a l l (13) reached a similar conclusion i n 1925 that the acidity produced by the use of aluminum sulfate was the root of the problem. Their research brought together techniques which have become standard. Chemical degradation of paper is speeded by raising the temperature; Kohler and H a l l accelerated the aging of paper by exposing

slow oxidation taking place. Brightness has been lost. I n the humid oven, more acid was produced and the p H dropped sharply. T h e coppercontaining sample fell off badly i n folding endurance as well as i n bright­ ness. This appears to be the free radical effect. The experiment illustrates that the dry oven gives much less information than the humid oven. In the experiment (Figures 6 and 6A and Table V I ) the copper catalyst was added to the paper before the alkaline salt. Paper was sprayed on both sides with dilute copper acetate solution until the wet weight indicated 50 p p m copper and then it was air dried. One set of paper dipped i n magnesium bicarbonate solution (9 g / L magnesium carbonate). One set was given the Barrow two-step treatment—immer­ sion i n lime followed by immersion i n calcium bicarbonate. Accelerated aging was carried out i n the dry and humid ovens. I n the humid oven, the copper-magnesium treated-paper regression line is close to that of the paper alkalized with magnesium carbonate. T h e calcium carbonatetreated paper is not so well protected. This bears out the findings from the oxygen-alkaline pulping process that magnesium is a more effective

• The presence of transition metal compounds as oxidation catalysts can cause rapid degradation of calcium carbonate-alkalized papers under humid conditions. Magnesium carbonate offers better protection than calcium carbonate. • T A P P I method T-453-ts-63, which uses only the dry oven, gives a satisfactory estimate of the stability of acid paper but has no value i n predicting oxidative degradation or the life of a paper containing the oxidation catalysts.
