Method of quantifying the properties of paper
First Claim
1. A method for quantifying one or more physical properties of fluff pulp or paper treated with paper chemicals, which method comprises(I) developing a calibration model by(I.a) registering absorption, reflectance or emission spectral raw data of reference samples of paper of known properties to develop a learning set;
- (I.b) processing the spectral raw data to reduce noise and adjust for drift and diffuse light scatter;
(I.c) performing a data analysis by applying chemometric techniques to the processed learning sets; and
(II) registering absorption, reflectance or emission spectral raw data of a sample of paper or fluff pulp having unknown properties;
processing the spectral raw data as according to (I.b); and
applying the developed calibration model on the processed spectral data in order to determine the unknown properties.

Abstract
A method for the quantification of the one or several of the physical properties selected from dry tensile strength, hydrophobicity, debonding energy, bursting strength, wettability and printability of pulp and/or paper which method comprises
(I) developing a calibration model by
(I.a) registering absorption, reflectance or emission spectra of reference samples of paper of known properties as defined above to develop learning sets;
(I.b) processing the spectral raw data, to reduce noise and adjust for drift and diffuse light scatter;
(I.c) performing a data analysis by applying chemometric techniques to the processed learning sets; and
(II) determining the unknown properties as defined above of pulp and/or paper by registering the absorption, reflectance or emission spectrum, in correspondence to (I.a), from the pulp and/or paper having unknown properties; processing the thereby obtained spectral raw data as according to (I.b); and applying the developed calibration model to the processed data.
Optionally, a data analysis step as according to (I.c) can also be applied to the processed spectral raw data from the paper having unknown properties.
