“…3) The instrument has the advantages of simple structure, low maintenance cost and low repetition rate, and is suitable for on-line analysis ( Attimarad 2012 ; Merás et al, 2002 ). However, due to the coexistence of multiple heavy metal ions in the same period in zinc smelting industrial wastewater, their chemical characteristics are similar, their mutual influence is serious ( Rastogi et al, 2015 ), their absorption spectra overlap seriously ( Lambert et al, 2017 ), and the full spectra information contains a lot of redundant non characteristic information ( Fedenko et al, 2017 ), resulting in low accuracy and large prediction error of ultraviolet visible spectral analysis model ( Lepane et al, 2015 ; Lee et al, 2017 ). Therefore, the traditional multivariate linear analysis method based on full band information modeling is difficult to accurately detect the concentration of polymetallic ions in zinc smelting wastewater ( Rote and Bari, 2009 ; Khan et al, 2020 ).…”
