摘要
Partial least squares (PLS) modeling was applied to investigate number-average molecular weights (M-n) and weight-average molecular weights (M-w) of fulvic acids (FAs) in relation to the corresponding UV/VIS spectra. The M-n and M-w values were determined by size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The impact of pH control, wavelength range and density as well as smoothing and derivation of spectra were tested. It was found that PLS models based on absorbance spectra can be a fast and powerful complement to existing techniques employed for determination of molecular weights of FAs. Control of pH of the FA solutions is important for the performance of the models. The models were also compared with the best univariate alternatives. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
