“…Compared with conventional methods, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy based on multivariate calibration presents many advantages in petroleum analysis, such as high speed, low cost, efficiency, and nondestruction. , In recent years, NIR spectroscopy, combined with chemometric algorithms, has been widely used for the inline or online monitoring and controlling of refinery processes, such as crude distillation, catalytic cracking, naphtha cracking, and gasoline blending. , Many critical parameters of petroleum and petroleum products have been predicted accurately and precisely, including octane number, cetane number, distillation properties, chemical compositions, etc. − …”
