The protection of ancient books is a very important task, which helps to preserve and pass on the precious historical and cultural heritage. In the process of ancient book protection, the protection of ancient book paper acidification is a crucial part.
With the passage of time, the paper used in ancient books will gradually be eroded by acidic substances, and appear in an "acidified" state, which is intuitively manifested as brittle and yellowish paper, which eventually leads to the paper being damaged and missing, and the content is missing or moldy. In order to prevent this from happening, countermeasures need to be taken in the process of ancient book protection to protect ancient book paper.
First of all, professional ancient book conservators will test the acidity value of ancient book paper to determine the pH value of the paper. Next, protective measures are taken to neutralize the acids in the paper, usually using an anhydrous paper deacidification solution like Bookkeeper (aka: deacidification) by spraying or soaking to increase the pH of the paper. In this way, the acidification process of the paper can be effectively delayed, so that the pH value of the paper will be in a weakly alkaline state for a certain period in the future.
Of course, no matter how excellent the deacidification protection technology of ancient books is, it needs to be matched with a scientific ancient book preservation warehouse, otherwise after a certain period, the deacidified ancient books will be affected by the acidic substances in the warehouse space again, and acidification will occur again. On the one hand, it is necessary to control the quality of the air in the warehouse, and on the other hand, it is necessary to control the temperature, humidity and light of the environment for the preservation of ancient books, so as to prevent the acidification process of ancient books and paper from being accelerated due to the high temperature and humidity of the environment.
In general, the protection of paper acidification in the Hundred Schools of Assistance Program plays a very important role in the protection of ancient books. Only by taking appropriate measures can we effectively extend the life of ancient books and papers, so that they can be preserved and passed on for future generations to study and study.
