Abstract

AbstractA procedure for the study of the chemistry of viscose based on ultraviolet measurements of a film of cellulose xanthate has been developed. To illustrate the range of usefulness of the technique, spectra of various compounds formed with cellulose xanthate, including metal salts, organic derivatives, and an acid form, the influence of solvation on several cellulose xanthate compounds, and formation and decomposition curve of cellulose xanthate derivatives are presented. Possible applications of the technique include a study of the acid decomposition of cellulose xanthate, the influence of additives, new derivatives, and the xanthation mechanism. It is also probable that the method can be used in the study of other systems where fast reaction mechanisms are involved and suitable absorption characteristics are present.
