Abstract

Quality control usually involves monitoring several variables directly related with industrial necessities using univariate tests. One powerful alternative is to link multivariate analytical techniques and multivariate chemometrics. In this way, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and Partial Least Squares regression are used to discuss and review several advantages and drawbacks encountered in using such combination in industrial facilities. Typical drawbacks are selection of data pretreatment, errors in reference methods, selection of calibration and validation sets and model-aging. This review is exemplified with petrochemical applications although other fields are also considered (mainly when dealing with data pretreatment).
