CONCLUSION 1 • Possible to follow a reaction over time • Identify reagents, products, intermediates • Reaction kinetics
EXAMPLES 2 • Whole grain and flour • Solid • FT-NIR reflectance • Genetic variation
FLOUR Pseudoabsorbance Wavelength
WHOLE GRAINS Pseudoabsorbance Wavelength
CONCLUSION 2 • Grain and flour different • Genetic information • Location information • Accurate protein content
Where used? Food Feed Biofuel Fossil fuel Plastics Wood and pulp Environmental and waste Clinical and pharma In vivo
Rapid process monitoring for biofuels • Canary reed grass • Pellet / Briquette press • The role of humidity
Briquette machine Biofuel energy unit
Mixing drum with window for measurement Process NIR spectrometer
Reed canary grass Briquette
Predict = determine quality ahead Humidity for briquette quality Other parameters (e.g. ash content, energy, CO2) for energy production
Measure how? • Location (how many? where?) • How often? • How detailed? Buckets? Single particles?
Content • What is biomass? • What is NIR spectroscopy? • Examples • What is calibration? • Advanced topics
Calibration Spectral property Model Concentration
y Calibration Slope a Offset
Multivariate calibration K y X f + = b I y=Xb+f
Why calibrate? Spectrum Concentration Spectrum -measured in 1 min -no sample preparation -on-line possible -noninvasive -nondestructive Concentration -sample preparation -slow -expensive -waste chemicals -destructive
Methods of data analysis Multivariate calibration Classification Multivariate image analysis Multiway analysis Neural nets Genetic algorithms
