Abstract
The hot water- and total acidity of some important hard- and softwoods were correlated to hot water and 1% alkali solubilities. In this manner a posit ive correlation exists and in case of hardwoods a plot, an expected increas ing curve, can be observed. However, due to an insufficient number of data the correlations of softwoods are somewhat ambiguous for low acidities and solubilities. Furthermore, the hot water solubility data fit better than th ose of alkali solubility to both bound and total acidity.
