Mass Deacidification of Library Materials

Mass deacidification of paper-based materials is a technological solution for the chemical conservation of paper. During deacidification, alkaline compounds are used to react with acidic components in the paper, thereby creating an alkaline reserve in the paper. This technology can extend the lifespan of paper materials by several decades.
