TAPPI T 207 – Water Solubility of Wood and Pulp

This test method describes procedures for the determination of the hot and cold water soluble materials in wood and pulp.

The test for water solubility is normally applied to wood and pulp which are not extracted with organic solvents. However, if prior extraction with organic solvents is desired, a solvent such as trichloroethane, which will dissolve only a minimum amount of the water-soluble material, should be used.
