Abstract

Eutrophication occurs frequently in urban water bodies, and rapid measurement of phosphorus (P) is needed for water quality control, since P has been one of the limiting factors. In this study, approximately 400 water samples were collected from typical urban water bodies in Nanjing city, and Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) was applied for rapid P determination. Both silicon ATR (Si-ATR) and ZnSe-ATR were employed in the recording of FTIR-ATR spectra, and different algorithms, including partial least squares regression (PLSR), support vector machines for regression (SVRs), extreme learning machines (ELMs), and self-adaptive partial least squares model (SA–PLS), were applied in the analysis of spectra data. The results showed that the water quality varied significantly for different water bodies in different seasons, and both Si-ATR and ZnSe-ATR could achieve good P prediction. The PLSR and SVR models showed poor P prediction effects while the ELM model was excellent, and the SA-PLS model was the best one. For the SA-PLS model, the prediction accuracy of Si-ATR (Rv2 = 0.973, RMSEV = 0.015 mg L−1, RPDV = 6.05) was slightly better than that of ZnSe-ATR (Rv2 = 0.942, RMSEV = 0.011 mg L−1, RPDV = 4.13). Therefore, the FTIR-ATR technology coupled with the SA-PLS model achieved rapid P determination in urban water, providing an effective option for water quality monitoring.
