Nondestructive and rapid determination of lignocellulose components of biofuel pellet using online hyperspectral imaging system.

ABSTRACT: In the pursuit of sources of energy, biofuel pellet is emerging as a promising resource because of its easy storage and transport, and lower pollution to the environment. The composition of biomass has important implication for energy conversion processing strategies. Current standard chemical methods for biomass composition are laborious, time-consuming, and unsuitable for high-throughput analysis. Therefore, a reliable and efficient method is needed for determining lignocellulose composition in biomass and so to accelerate biomass utilization. Here, near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (900-1700 nm) together with chemometrics was used to determine the lignocellulose components in different types of biofuel pellets. Partial least-squares regression and principal component multiple linear regression models based on whole wavelengths and optimal wavelengths were employed and compared for predicting lignocellulose composition.Out of 216 wavelengths, 20, 10 and 17 were selected by the successive projections algorithm for cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, respectively. Three simple and satisfactory prediction models were constructed, with coefficients of determination of 0.92, 0.84 and 0.71 for cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, respectively. The relative parameter distributions were quantitatively visualized through prediction maps by transferring the optimal models to all pixels on the hyperspectral image.Hence, the overall results indicated that hyperspectral imaging combined with chemometrics offers a non-destructive and low-cost method for determining biomass lignocellulose components, which would help in developing a simple multispectral imaging instrument for biofuel pellets online measurement and improving the production management.

Project description:The agar culture plate has played a crucial role in bacteriology since the origins of the discipline and is a staple bioanalytical method for efforts ranging from research to standard clinical diagnostic tests. However, plating, inoculating, and waiting for microbes to develop colonies that are visible is time-consuming. In this work, we demonstrate white-light interferometry (WLI) as a practical tool for accelerated and improved measurement of bacterial cultures. High resolution WLI surface profile imaging was used for nondestructive characterization and counting of bacterial colonies on agar before they became visible to the naked eye. The three-dimensional (3D) morphology of Gram-negative (Pseudomonas fluorescens) and Gram-positive (Bacillus thuringiensis) bacterial species were monitored with WLI over time by collecting surface profiles of colonies on agar plates with high vertical resolution (3-5 nanometers) and large field of view (3-5 mm). This unique combination of sensitive vertical resolution and large field of view uniquely provided by WLI enables measurement of colony morphologies and nondestructive monitoring of hundreds of microcolonies. Individual bacteria were imaged within the first few hours after plating and colonies were accurately counted with results comparing favorably to counts made by traditional methods that require much longer wait times. Nondestructive imaging was used to track single cells multiplying into small colonies and the volume changes over time in these colonies were used to measure their growth rates. Based on the results herein, bioimaging with WLI was demonstrated as a novel rapid bacterial culture assay with several advantageous capabilities. Fast nondestructive counting of colony-forming units in a culture and simultaneous measurement of bacterial growth rates and colony morphology with this method may be beneficial in research and clinical applications where current methods are either too slow or are destructive.
