Studies in Accelerated Oxidation of Cellulose

Abstract
Sodium hypochlorite oxidation of cotton cellulose in the presence of traces of cobaltous hydroxide has been studied. The oxycellulose thus formed has been further chemically modified by subjecting it separately to aqueous solutions of chlorous acid and sodium borohydride. Cobaltous hydroxide has been shown to possess more intense catalytic activity in the hypochlorite oxidation of cellulose than nickel hydroxide, ferrous hydroxide, and manganous hydroxide reported earlier.
