Thermal and Alkali Stability of Sodium Dithionite Studied Using ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy

Sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4) may have the potential to be used as a reducing agent for the stabilization of glucomannan in kraft cooking for increased pulp yield. However, due to the fact that dithionite decomposes under the conditions of kraft pulping, studies of the effects of dithionite in kraft p...
