1、Designation:D116621Standard Test Method forMethoxyl Groups in Wood and Related Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1166;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in
2、parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of methoxylgroups in wood and related materials(1-7).2The test method isapplicable to milled wood or sawdus
3、t,or by suitable adjust-ment in size of the test specimen,to fractions isolated fromwood and lignin.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and
4、environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.Specific precautionary statements are given in Section 6.1.3 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Deci
5、sion on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Principle of Method2.1 The principle of the test method is the same as that in theoriginal method of Zeisel(1),except that th
6、e methyl iodide iscollected in an acetic acid solution of potassium acetatecontaining bromine.The following reactions then occur:CH3I1Br2CH3Br1IBr(1)IBr12Br213H2OHIO315HBrThe iodic acid is determined by titration of iodine liberatedby the reaction:HIO315HI3I213H2O(2)From the above equations,it follo
7、ws that one methoxylgroup(CH3O)liberates six atoms of iodine.3.Significance and Use3.1 Most of the methoxyl in wood is attributable to thelignin.This test method is used extensively in the study oflignin.4.Apparatus4.1 The apparatus shall be similar to that illustrated in Fig.1 and shall consist of

9、ed,it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.3Other grades may beused,provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit
10、its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.5.2 WaterUnless otherwise indicated,references to watershall be understood to mean distilled water.6.Reagents6.1 Hydroiodic Acid(HI)(57%in water sp gr 1.70)Thisbest reagent grade HI,should be stored in the absence of lightand at a low temper
