This paper provides reinterpretation of the data reported in an article [I]. The rate constants using a first order kinetic mechanism are evaluated for the untreated and treated Rakata paper. The data allows for the calculation of the activation energy and the frequency factor. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
