Conventional analytical measurements in wastewater are costly and labour intensive. NIR spectroscopy results were modelled to predict wastewater constituents. Excellent prediction of wastewater constituents was obtained with both models. Membrane foulants (EPS & SMP) were successfully determined by NIR spectroscopy. Developed procedure requires translucent samples and an expert interpreter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
