Moisture content and pH value in crude tall oil (CTO)
Summary
This Application Note shows the fast and parallel determination of water content and pH value in crude tall oil samples using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Crude tall oil is an important byproduct of pulp production in the power process. NIRS is an efficient alternative to conventional laboratory methods: It permits rapid raw material inspection, process monitoring and final product checking.
