An Improved Method for Determination of Pentosans in Pulps using Dual-Wavelength Spectroscopy

The aim of this study was to determine the pentosan content in pulps by a dual-wavelength spectrophotometric method. The method was based on the boiling reaction between pentosan and 12% hydrochloric acid, in which pentosan was subsequently converted to furfural. The concentration of furfural in the...
