Abstract

This paper describes an approach to quantitative analysis using diffuse reflectance spectra of solid materials in conjunction with the infrared data processing technique CIRCOM, to calculate equations correlating the FTIR spectra with the constituents or properties for a calibration set of well-characterised samples. Unknown samples, similar to those in the calibration set, can then be analysed from their infrared spectra. An example from the minerals industry will be given.
