Abstract
The oxidation of cellulose by treatment with sodium hypochlorite in the presence of different amounts of manganous hydroxide at different pH values (4·5–9·0) for a short time (10 min) has been investigated. Treatments with chlorous acid and sodium borohydride have been utilised to determine the different types of reducing and acidic groups formed in cellulose during accelerated oxidation. Manganous hydroxide has been shown to be a milder accelerant of the hypochlorite oxidation of cellulose than either leuco vat dyes or ferrous hydroxide under similar conditions.
