The document discusses mass deacidification methods for preserving paper documents. It provides an overview of the history of paper production and acidification issues. Various deacidification methods are examined, including solvent-based, fine dust, and aqueous treatment approaches. Recommendations are given for standards, production processes without alum or lignin, and maintaining proper documentation and evaluation of any mass deacidification workflow.
