Abstract
Magnesium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate and ammonia adjust the ph of wash water to a higher alkalinity and aid in releasing discolouration more effectively. Alcohols may be used as wetting agents for highly sized papers. Sunlight in the presence of moisture and magnesium bicarbonate may prove to be a safer, effective bleaching method, and further studies should be made of bleaching with alternative light sources. -- ICCROM
