How NIR Spectroscopy Measures Lignin

Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy identifies lignin by analyzing the absorption patterns of light at specific wavelengths. When materials interact with NIR radiation, their molecular structure causes unique spectral signatures. These signatures are then processed using chemometric algorithms to quantify lignin content accurately. Spectral Solutions’ systems integrate this technology with customizable calibration models, ensuring precision for diverse feedstocks and process conditions.
