Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with moving window partial least squares (MWPLS) method was successfully applied to the waveband selection for the rapid chemical-free determination of Zn2+ in soil. Based on randomness and similarity, an effective approach was performed to obtain objective and practical models. The optimal MWPLS waveband was 1136-1252 nm, and the corresponding optimal number of PLS factors was 6. The validation root mean square error (V-SEP) and validation correlation coefficients (V-RP) of prediction were 15.658 mg kg-1 and 0.925, respectively. The Zn2+ prediction values of the validation samples are close to the measured values. The results provided a reliable NIR model and can serve as valuable references for designing the dedicated spectroscopic instruments.
