As a way to restore wet paper documents, there are some approaches such as air-drying and freeze-drying. In the present study, the squelch-drying technique using books experimentally immersed in salt water was examined to assess the applicability of this method to wet paper documents affected by tsunami. The squelch-drying technique used in this study consisted of the following three steps: 1.cutting polyester sheets and newspaper according to the size of books;2.wrapping each book with a layer of polyester sheet and some newspaper,and putting it into a plastic bag; 3. sealing the bag with a heat-sealer using a vacuum pump or a vacuum cleaner. As a result, the squelch-drying technique could significantly reduce crinkles and wavy state of the paper of the books, which is often observed with air-dried books. Furthermore, this technique is expected to reduce the residual salts of seawater from the books. However, this technique requires considerable time and labor because it is necessary to repeat the above steps until the books are dry. Also in case of saltwater-soaked documents, longer time is required to reduce the weight of the documents,compared to the cases of documents soaked in distilled water. Nevertheless, squelch-drying technique can provide a promising way to rescue wet documents where no refrigerator or freeze-drying machine is available at the time of disaster.}, pages = {135--155}, title = {〔報告〕津波等で被災した文書等の救済法としてのスクウェルチ・ドライイング法の検討}, year = {2012} }
