NITRATE DETERMINATION IN CHILEAN CALICHE SAMPLES BY UV-VISIBLE ABSORBANCE MEASUREMENTS AND MULTIVARIATE CALIBRARON

Multivariate calibration of UV-visible spectral data using partial least-squares (PLS) has been applied to the determination of the nitrate content in Chilean Caliche samples, in the concentration range from 1 to 20% NaNO3 The multivariate approach is required since the samples do also contain unkno...
