TAPPI TIP 0607-09 2002

A TAPPI technical information paper presenting sulfur dioxide solubility data for magnesium bisulfite solutions across six temperatures.

TAPPI TIP 0607-09, Solubility of Sulfur Dioxide in Magnesium Bisulfite Solution, provides reference data for the quantity of combined sulfur dioxide in magnesium bisulfite liquors as a function of partial sulfur dioxide pressure, total sulfur dioxide concentration, and temperature. The document includes data for temperatures of 5, 15, 25, 35, 50, and 60 degrees Celsius and covers concentrations from 0 to 5 grams of combined sulfur dioxide per 100 grams of water. This 8-page PDF is intended for technical professionals working with sulfite pulping, sulfur dioxide handling, magnesium oxide, bisulfite chemistry, and process calculations. Safety precautions for sulfur dioxide, ammonia, and related testing chemicals are also included.

Application Scope: Use as a technical reference for sulfur dioxide solubility calculations and process analysis in magnesium bisulfite and neutral sulfite pulping operations.
