A directly rapid quantification method for chemical oxygen demand (COD) of wastewater was established by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy combined with attenuated total reflection (ATR) technology and moving window partial least squares (MWPLS) method with changeable parameters. All samples were firstly divided into the calibration set and the prediction set. And then according to the predicion effect, the optimal model was selected, and the corresponding waveband, number of adopted wavenumbers, PLS factor, root mean squared error of predication (RMSEP), correlation coefficient of predication (RP) were 3152-1109 cm-1, 1060, 8, 21.5 mg/L, and 0.981 respectively, which was obviously superior to the optimal PLS model on the whole spectral collecting region. The result shows that FTIR/ATR spectroscopy can be applied to the rapid determination of COD of wastewater, and the waveband selected by MWPLS method with changeable parameters has higher signal to noise ratio, which can effectively improve the precision of the predictive model.

Using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), attenuated total reflection (ATR) technology and partial least square (PLS) method, the rapid quantification method of hemoglobin (HGB) in human soluble blood samples was established. Based on the distribution of samples’ HGB chemical value and absorbance on 1543 cm-1 which had the highest signal to noise ratio for HGB, all samples were divided into calibration set and prediction set for 50 times. PLS models were established for all divisions, based on the average data RMSEPAve, the stable optimal model was selected, the corresponding PLS factor, RMSEPAve and RP,Ave were 2, 6.81 g/L and 0.943 respectively.

A directly rapid quantitative analysis method for chemical oxygen demand (COD) of wastewater was established by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and attenuated total reflection (ATR) technology. The combination selection of Savitzky-Golay (SG) smoothing modes combined with partial least squares (PLS) factor was applied to the model optimization here. The optimal smoothing parameters were 2ndorder derivative smoothing, 6thdegree polynomial and 51 smoothing points. The corresponding optimal PLS factor, root mean squared error of predication (RMSEP) and correlation coefficient of predication (RP) were 11, 24.4 (mg/L) and 0.968 respectively, which was obviously superior to the direct PLS model without SG smoothing. This demonstrated that the combination selection of SG smoothing parameters and PLS factor can be effectively applied to the model optimization for FTIR/ATR analysis of COD in wastewater.

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and attenuated total reflection (ATR) technology combined with the partial least squares (PLS) regression were successfully applied for the rapid no-reagent determination of chemical oxygen demand (COD) for sugar refinery wastewater. Among 105 samples, 45 samples were randomly selected as the validation set. The remaining 60 samples were divided into the calibration set (40 samples) and the prediction set (20 samples) for a total of 30 times with certain similarities. The appropriate model with stability was established on the waveband of 4500 cm-1 to 600 cm-1. The optimal PLS factor was 4, the modeling effect M-SEPAve, M-RP,Ave, M-SEPStd, and M-RP,Std were 38.1 mg/L, 0.944, 3.2 mg/L, and 0.013, respectively, the validation effect V-SEP and V-RP were 38.2 mg/L and 0.949, respectively, which has good prediction effect and stability. The results provide a reliable analytical model for the monitoring of COD in sugar refinery wastewater.
