Abstract

The chemical wood properties characterization of biomass feedstocks is important since it determines their potential for various chemical and energy applications. Willow (Salix sp.), a short-rotation hardwood species, is an interesting feedstock for such applications. It can represent an alternative raw material for non-sustainable resources, long-rotation trees, and agricultural biological materials. This research aimed to characterize the chemical properties of different wood tissues of willow and to develop a nondestructive method for their prediction. Wood, bark, and twig samples were sampled from six willow clones (Alberta, Canada). Extractives, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin contents were measured in sampled tissues by destructive chemical analysis tests using TAPPI standard test methods. The surface chemistry of the samples was analyzed by near-infrared spectroscopy. Partial least squares regression models were developed for quantitatively predicting wood chemical components. The coefficients of determination (R² calibration, R² cross-validation, and R² prediction) ranged from 0.66 to 0.99 for extractives, lignin, cellulose, and hemicelluloses. Carbohydrates (glucose, xylose, arabinose, and mannose) ranged between 0.98 and 0.99, demonstrating excellent predictive capability for these components. These results confirm the applicability of the developed models to predict the chemical properties of willow biomass. Furthermore, the prediction models apply to all investigated tissues, emphasizing consistency. These results provide the possibility to characterize the chemical properties of willow biomass using easily implemented, cost-effective, nondestructive, and rapid NIR equipment.

利用近红外光谱和偏最小二乘回归预测柳属无性系的化学性质
生物质原料的化学木材特性表征很重要,因为它决定了它们在各种化学和能源应用方面的潜力。柳树(Salix sp.)是一种短周期的硬木树种,是这种应用的一种有趣的原料。它可以替代非可持续资源、长轮树木和农业生物材料。本研究旨在表征柳树不同木材组织的化学性质,并开发一种无损预测方法。从六个柳树无性系(加拿大阿尔伯塔)中采集了木材、树皮和树枝样本。通过破坏性化学分析测试,采用TAPPI标准测试方法,测量样品组织中的提取物、纤维素、半纤维素和木质素含量。用近红外光谱分析了样品的表面化学性质。建立了偏最小二乘回归模型,用于定量预测木材化学成分。萃取物、木质素、纤维素和半纤维素的测定系数(R²校准、R²交叉验证和R²预测)范围为0.66 ~ 0.99。碳水化合物(葡萄糖、木糖、阿拉伯糖和甘露糖)的范围在0.98和0.99之间,表明这些成分具有良好的预测能力。这些结果证实了所建立的模型在预测柳树生物量化学性质方面的适用性。此外,预测模型适用于所有研究组织,强调一致性。这些结果提供了使用易于实施,具有成本效益,非破坏性和快速近红外设备表征柳树生物质化学特性的可能性。
