Abstract


A sodium diffusion model in a hollow sphere was adjusted with a high degree of correlation (0.97S and DL, respectively. With lye at 2.25% of NaOH at 15ºC, 20ºC and 25ºC, the DL values ranged between 2.27x10-09 and 4.24x10-09 m2/s, while the DS values ranged from 1.49x10-12 to 7.38x10-12 m2/s. The diffusion coefficients increased with temperature. Activation energies of diffusion of sodium were 45.07 and 115.28 kJ/mol, for the pulp and the skin respectively.
