The Neutralisation of Acid-treated Wool by Solutions of Sodium Carbonate

Neutralisation of acid-treated wool by solutions of sodium carbonate has been examined by measurgment of hydrogen-ion concentrations. The effects of concentration, time, liquor ratio, and temperature on the equilibration process have been studied. A qualitative interpretation of results is given, and a quantitative treatment employing the Donnan theory of membrane equilibria has been examined.
