Simultaneous Determination of Metal Ions in Zinc Sulfate Solution Using UV–Vis Spectrometry and SPSE-XGBoost Method

Abstract

Excessive discharge of heavy metal ions will aggravate environment pollution and threaten human health. Thus, it is of significance to real-time detect metal ions and control discharge in the metallurgical wastewater. We developed an accurate and rapid approach based on the singular perturbation spectrum estimator and extreme gradient boosting (SPSE-XGBoost) algorithms to simultaneously determine multi-metal ion concentrations by UV–vis spectrometry. In the approach, the spectral data is expanded by multi-order derivative preprocessing, and then, the sensitive feature bands in each spectrum are extracted by feature importance (VI score) ranking. Subsequently, the SPSE-XGBoost model are trained to combine multi-derivative features and to predict ion concentrations. The experimental results indicate that the developed “Expand-Extract-Combine” strategy can not only overcome problems of background noise and spectral overlapping but also mine the deeper spectrum information by integrating important features. Moreover, the SPSE-XGBoost strategy utilizes the selected feature subset instead of the full-spectrum for calculation, which effectively improves the computing speed. The comparisons of different data processing methods are conducted. It outcomes that the proposed strategy outperforms other routine methods and can profoundly determine the concentrations of zinc, copper, cobalt, and nickel with the lowest RMSEP. Therefore, our developed approach can be implemented as a promising mean for real-time and on-line determination of multi-metal ion concentrations in zinc hydrometallurgy.

Performance parameters of standard salt concentration sensitivity and linearity in Refractometers and Genesys 30 Spectrometer UV-Vis

“…Research data on standard salt solution trials with varying concentrations were tested on a refractometer sample by obtaining the refractive index variable from each variation in standard salt solution concentration [9]. The next step is to test samples of varying concentrations of standard salt solution on a UV-Vis spectrometer with the output variable absorbance of each variable salt solution concentration [10]. The values of refractive index and absorbance from variations in the concentration of salt solutions are shown in Table 1.…”
