Abstract

An on-line enrichment near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technique was developed in order to improve the sensitivity for the determination of trace heavy metal lead. Trace Pb2+ was enriched by chelating resin with on-line enrichment equipment and then the enriched lead on the resin was directly determined by near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy without elution procedure for simplicity of measurements. Partial least squares (PLS) regression was used to build models between the corrected spectra and concentrations of Pb2+, and segmental cross-validation was used to search for a reasonable number of PLS factors. The results showed that NIR spectra and concentrations of Pb2+ had a good linear relationship with the maximum of correlation coefficient of 0.9228 in the 1006–1383 nm region. The minimum RMSEP was 0.4777 mg L− 1 when the latent variable number was 5 by using the region of 1006–1383 nm. The limit of detection (LOD) of lead was 0.2384 mg L− 1 in this case. This study demonstrates that the prediction of trace heavy metal lead concentrations by NIRS is feasible with enrichment technique.
