| Abstract | The glucuronoxylan composition of a pulp affects the bonding between cellulosic fibres, and thus correlates with such network properties as tensile strength. Here, we demonstrate the promise of attenuated total-internal-reflection (ATR) FTIR spectroscopy as a rapid means for classifying the xylan contained in commercial bleached kraft pulps. This study draws upon samples composed of bleached eucalyptus kraft pulps and combinations of eucalyptus with other commercial bleached kraft pulps. We subject these pulp samples to systematic extraction by sodium hydroxide solutions with concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 6% to build a standard sample library with varying xylan content, quantified by acid hydrolysis, HPLC carbohydrate separation and titration. This pulp chemistry of mild alkaline extraction removes up to two-thirds of the xylan. In the NaOH concentration regime of 0.5-4%, the infrared spectral variance reflects the decrease in hemicellulose concentration as well as the cellulose crystallinity. A residual xylan component remains resistant to base solutions of higher concentrations. Principal component analysis of infrared spectra distinguishes this residual xylan as structurally variant. Both partial least squares multivariate analysis and univariate analysis confined to a feature at 964 cm(-1) in normalized second derivative IR spectra show a very good correlation with xylan content quantified by HPLC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
