Abstract To address the chemical behavior of beech xylan (O-acetyl-4-O-methyl-glucuronoxylan) under alkaline conditions, three model compounds, 2-O-methylxylobiose (1), aldobiouronic acid (4-O-methyl-α-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid-(1→2)-xylose, 2), and aldotriouronic acid (4-Omethyl-α-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid-(1→2)-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-xylose, 3), were subjected to strong alkaline conditions equal to those used for the industrial production of viscose (18% NaOH, 43°C). Kinetics of the degradation of the model compounds were monitored by capillary electrophoresis in combination with pre-column derivatization. It was demonstrated that substitution at O-2 of the reducing xylose unit strongly retarded the alkaline degradation reactions (1 and 2). By isotopic labeling experiments and isolation of degradation products it was shown that under the pertinent conditions deprotonation at C-2 occurs, followed by epimerization to the respective lyxo derivative. Aldotriouronic acid 3 was degraded to 2 as an intermediate according to classical peeling pathways. Genuine degradation reactions and epimerization processes were distinguished.

The electron irradiation of silicate glasses containing metal cations produces various types of phase separation and decomposition which includes oxygen bubble formation at intermediate temperatures figure I. The kinetics of bubble formation are too rapid to be accounted for by oxygen diffusion but the behavior is consistent with a cation diffusion mechanism if the amount of oxygen in the bubble is not significantly different from that in the same volume of silicate glass. The formation of oxygen bubbles is often accompanied by precipitation of crystalline phases and/or amorphous phase decomposition in the regions between the bubbles and the detection of differences in oxygen concentration between the bubble and matrix by electron energy loss spectroscopy cannot be discerned (figure 2) even when the bubble occupies the majority of the foil depth.The oxygen bubbles are stable, even in the thin foils, months after irradiation and if van der Waals behavior of the interior gas is assumed an oxygen pressure of about 4000 atmospheres must be sustained for a 100 bubble if the surface tension with the glass matrix is to balance against it at intermediate temperatures.
