Ponderações sobre o branqueamento em processos de restauração de papel: um panorama químico e teórico do procedimento by Luiza Batista Amaral, Camilla Henriques Maia de Camargos

“…A partir de tal levantamento crítico-metodológico, que contempla inclusive uma introdução aos fenômenos químicos fundamentais à ação do branqueamento sobre cromóforos-chave presentes na celulose amarelecida, faz-se uma exposição criteriosa dos prós e contras das operações em questão, cotejando o debate da teoria da restauração com a discussão feita por Irene Brückler e Ute Henniges em seu artigo sistemático Thoughts on bleaching guidelines. A proposta é contribuir para o debate acerca do branqueamento, também em língua portuguesa, munindo os conservadores-restauradores de informações sobre os principais critérios a serem considerados e os diversos métodos para a realização segura e racional do procedimento. …”
