An organic compound, CH3OMgOCO2CH3·xCO2, with x being variable depending on the solvent used. It is prepared by treating a solution of magnesium methoxide with carbon dioxide until saturation is attained. The resulting solution is clear, colorless, and has a pH of approximately 7.0. It has been recommended as a non-aqueous deacidifying agent for paper, preferably in low concentrations, e.g., 0.7 to 1.0%. Its advantages are said to be: 1) a mild pH, due to the neutral character of the solution and direct conversion to magnesium carbonate upon hydrolysis; and 2) convenience of use due to the decreased sensitivity of the solution to water, which assists in preventing premature precipitation. 2, record 1, English, - methyl%20magnesium%20carbonate

Pour éliminer l'acidité interne des papiers, les bibliothèques ont recours à la désacidification de masse du papier. Il s'agit de neutraliser l'acide fort ou faible par une base forte. [...] Les procédés de désacidification de masse sont nombreux : - procédé au carbonate de méthylmagnésium, utilisé par la Bibliothèque Nationale. - procédé Bookkeeper. - procédé au diéthyl-zinc. - procédé lithco-FMC. - procédé Booksaver. - procédé de la British library. 3, record 1, French, - carbonate%20de%20m%C3%A9thylmagn%C3%A9sium
