Paper, board and pulps -- Determination of pH of aqueous extracts -- Part 1: Cold extraction

This document specifies a method for the determination of the pH-value defined by the electrolytes extractable by cold water from a sample of paper, board or pulp.
This document is applicable to all types of paper, board and pulp.
As the quantity of extractable ionic material approaches zero, as in the case of highly purified pulps, the precision of the method becomes poor because of the difficulties encountered in making pH measurements on water containing little electrolytic material.  
Since the extraction in this document is performed with distilled or deionised water, the pH-value measured will sometimes be different (e.g. for fully bleached pulp) from the pH-value measured under mill process conditions in which various types of process waters, e.g. chemically treated river water containing electrolytes, are used. In such cases, ISO 29681 should be used instead, as it is specifically applicable to bleached pulps from virgin fibres and to pulp samples having a low ionic strength for which the pH value will give more realistic results related to mill conditions than those obtained with this document.
For cellulosic papers used for electrical purposes, the method used should be that given in IEC 60554‑2[4].

Papier, carton et pâtes -- Détermination du pH des extraits aqueux

Le présent document spécifie une méthode pour la détermination du pH défini par les électrolytes extractibles d'un échantillon de papier, de carton ou de pâte, par de l'eau froide.
Ce document est applicable ŕ tous les types de papiers, de cartons et de pâtes.
Lorsque la quantité de substance ionique extractible est presque nulle, comme dans le cas des pâtes hautement purifiées, la fidélité de la méthode devient mauvaise en raison des difficultés rencontrées lors de la réalisation des mesurages de pH d'une eau contenant peu de substances électrolytiques.
Puisque, dans ce document, l'extraction est effectuée avec de l'eau distillée ou désionisée, le pH mesuré est parfois différent (par exemple pour une pâte hautement blanchie) de celui mesuré dans les conditions mises en œuvre pendant le procédé industriel lors duquel différents types d'eaux de process sont utilisés, par exemple de l'eau de rivičre traitée chimiquement contenant des électrolytes. Dans de tels cas, il convient d'appliquer l'ISO 29681 qui est spécifiquement élaborée pour les pâtes blanchies ŕ partir de fibres vierges et aux échantillons de pâtes de faible concentration ionique pour lesquels les valeurs de pH seront plus réalistes du procédé industriel que celles obtenues avec le présent document.
Pour les papiers cellulosiques ŕ usages électriques, il est recommandé d'utiliser la méthode indiquée dans la norme IEC 60554-2[4].

Introduction
Kraft fibre is well known to contain ionisable groups that are fixed to or in the fibre wall. In order to
fulfil the electro-neutrality, these groups are balanced by an equivalent number of positive charges,
which can be either protons or various metal ions. Especially in pulp suspensions at low ionic strengths,
this can give rise to a marked uneven distribution of mobile ions between the volume held by the fibre
wall and the bulk suspension liquor. This means that the fibre acts as an ion exchanger. These ion-
[2][3]
exchange phenomena can be modelled very well with the Donnan theory .
If a relatively clean pulp fibre sample, for example bleached dried pulp, is diluted in deionised water,
the result will be a pulp suspension with a very low ionic strength. In such a system, most of the cations
present, including protons, will be concentrated in the water volume held by the fibre wall. If the pH
is measured, it will be measured in the bulk suspension liquor. By adding salt to this kind of system,
the ion exchange phenomena will be decreased, and the concentration of different cations will be the
same in the water held by the fibre wall and in the bulk suspension liquor. Since the process waters
always contain a certain amount of ions, such a salt addition will give a more realistic environment
when measuring the pH of relatively clean pulp samples.
Based on the foregoing, two ISO Standards, ISO 6588-1 and ISO 29681, are available for determination
of the pH of cold aqueous extracts of paper, board, or pulps. In ISO 29681, a salt solution is added prior
to extraction; however, in ISO 6588-1, the extraction is carried out with distilled or deionized water.
ISO 29681 is specifically applicable to bleached pulps from virgin fibres and to pulp samples having a
low ionic strength for which the pH-value will give more realistic results related to mill conditions than
those obtained with ISO 6588-1.
It is necessary to be aware that the results will not be the same when measuring pH according to
ISO 6588-1 and to ISO 29681. The difference can be significant especially when measuring pulps having
a low ionic strength.
ISO 6588-2 differs from this document only as regards the extraction conditions. No general guidance
can be given as to which of the two procedures (hot or cold) is best suited in a particular situation.
It should be noted that in ISO 6588-1, addition of a salt solution is performed after extraction and
filtration only for the purpose of obtaining a more stable and accurate pH measurement.

Introduction
Il est bien connu que la fibre kraft contient des groupes ionisables qui sont fixés sur ou dans la paroi
de la fibre. Afin de satisfaire l’électroneutralité, ces groupes sont équilibrés par un nombre égal de
charges positives, qui peuvent être des protons ou des ions métalliques divers. En particulier dans les
suspensions de pâtes de faible concentration ionique, cela peut mener à une distribution inégale des
ions mobiles entre le volume emprisonné dans la paroi de la fibre et le reste de la suspension. Cela
signifie que les fibres agissent comme un échangeur d’ions. Ces phénomènes d’échange d’ions peuvent
[2] [3]
être très bien modélisés à l’aide de la théorie de Donnan .
Si un échantillon de fibres d’une pâte relativement propre, par exemple une pâte blanchie et séchée,
est dilué dans de l’eau désionisée, le résultat sera une suspension de pâte de très faible concentration
ionique. Dans un tel système, la plupart des cations présents, ainsi que les protons, sont concentrés
dans un volume d’eau retenu par la paroi de la fibre. Si le pH est mesuré, il s’agit du pH de la pâte
environnante. En ajoutant un sel à ce type de système, le phénomène d’échange d’ions est diminué et
la concentration des différents cations sera identique dans l’eau emprisonnée par la paroi de la fibre
et le reste de la pâte en suspension. Puisque les eaux de procédés contiennent toujours une certaine
quantité d’ions, un tel ajout d’un sel résultera en un environnement plus réaliste lors de la mesure du pH
d’échantillons de pâtes relativement propres.
Sur la base de ce qui précède, deux normes ISO, l’ISO 6588-1 et l’ISO 29681, sont disponibles pour la
détermination du pH des extraits aqueux à froid de papier, de carton ou de pâtes. Dans l’ISO 29681, une
solution saline est ajoutée avant l’extraction; toutefois, dans l’ISO 6588-1, l’extraction est réalisée avec
de l’eau distillée ou désionisée. L’ISO 29681 s’applique spécifiquement aux pâtes blanchies à partir de
fibres vierges et aux échantillons de pâtes de faible concentration ionique dont les conditions de pH lors
du procédé industriel conduiront à des résultats plus réalistes que ceux obtenus avec l’ISO 6588-1.
Il est nécessaire d’avoir conscience du fait que les résultats obtenus en mesurant le pH conformément
à l’ISO 6588-1 seront différents de ceux obtenus à l’aide de l’ISO 29681. Ces différences peuvent être
significatives, notamment lors d’un mesurage sur des pâtes de faible concentration ionique.
L’ISO 6588-2 ne diffère du présent document qu’au sujet des conditions d’extraction. Aucune ligne
directrice générale ne peut être donnée concernant le mode opératoire le plus adapté (extraction à
chaud ou à froid) en fonction d’une situation donnée.
Il convient de noter que dans l’ISO 6588-1, l’ajout d’une solution saline est effectué après extraction et
filtration uniquement dans le but d’obtenir une mesure plus stable et exacte du pH.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

Introduction
Kraft fibre is well known to contain ionisable groups that are fixed to or in the fibre wall. In order to
fulfil the electro-neutrality, these groups are balanced by an equivalent number of positive charges,
which can be either protons or various metal ions. Especially in pulp suspensions at low ionic strengths,
this can give rise to a marked uneven distribution of mobile ions between the volume held by the fibre
wall and the bulk suspension liquor. This means that the fibre acts as an ion exchanger. These ion-
[2][3]
exchange phenomena can be modelled very well with the Donnan theory .
If a relatively clean pulp fibre sample, for example bleached dried pulp, is diluted in deionised water,
the result will be a pulp suspension with a very low ionic strength. In such a system, most of the cations
present, including protons, will be concentrated in the water volume held by the fibre wall. If the pH
is measured, it will be measured in the bulk suspension liquor. By adding salt to this kind of system,
the ion exchange phenomena will be decreased, and the concentration of different cations will be the
same in the water held by the fibre wall and in the bulk suspension liquor. Since the process waters
always contain a certain amount of ions, such a salt addition will give a more realistic environment
when measuring the pH of relatively clean pulp samples.
Based on the foregoing, two ISO Standards, ISO 6588-1 and ISO 29681, are available for determination
of the pH of cold aqueous extracts of paper, board, or pulps. In ISO 29681, a salt solution is added prior
to extraction; however, in ISO 6588-1, the extraction is carried out with distilled or deionized water.
ISO 29681 is specifically applicable to bleached pulps from virgin fibres and to pulp samples having a
low ionic strength for which the pH-value will give more realistic results related to mill conditions than
those obtained with ISO 6588-1.
It is necessary to be aware that the results will not be the same when measuring pH according to
ISO 6588-1 and to ISO 29681. The difference can be significant especially when measuring pulps having
a low ionic strength.
ISO 6588-2 differs from this document only as regards the extraction conditions. No general guidance
can be given as to which of the two procedures (hot or cold) is best suited in a particular situation.
It should be noted that in ISO 6588-1, addition of a salt solution is performed after extraction and
filtration only for the purpose of obtaining a more stable and accurate pH measurement.
