Abstract
Instruments for determining the degree of delignification corresponding to a sample of kraft or soda process digested wood pulp are calibrated with a predetermined quantity of refined lignin. For convenient use and application, a standardized solution comprising such refined lignin and an organic solvent such as ethylene glycol may be prepared for distribution to use points. Such standardized refined lignin, whether tested as a powdered solid or as a standardized solution yields a consistent 'K' Number, 'Permanganate' Number, 'Kappa' Number or 'Klason' Number value from standardized titration test procedures.
