Abstract

In recent years, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy has become one of the important methods used to measure water chemical oxygen demand (COD). However, environmental factors (pH, temperature, conductivity, etc.) can interfere with spectral information, thereby influencing the stability and accuracy of COD detection. The three environmental factors that influence UV-Vis spectroscopy were researched in this study. Considering the complexity of environmental factors, a data fusion method is proposed to compensate for the influence of three environmental factors simultaneously. This data fusion method is based on the weighted superposition of the spectrum and three environmental factors. A COD prediction model was established by fusing spectral feature wavelengths and environmental factors to reduce the influence of environmental factors on COD detection. Through the proposed data fusion method, the accuracy of COD detection based on UV-Vis spectroscopy has been improved. The determination coefficient of prediction (RPred2) reaches 0.9602, and the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) reaches 3.52.
