CONT

The hydrogen ion (a positively charged hydrogen atom) is acidic and, when released, can cause the break of the covalent bond in the cellulose chain. A continuation of that process produces acidic degradation. Such impurities in paper as lignin, hemicellulose, hydrolyzed cellulose, and others will oxidize and produce acidic degrading of paper.
