Abstract

Technique for the quantitative analysis of FTIR spectra, which are serious overlapped in the spectral bands, is studied by genetic algorithm. The multicomponent in the mixture, which contains ten air toxic organic components, such as benzene, phenixin, chlorobenzene, nitrobenzene, phenol, toluene, methanol, o-cresol, m-cresol and p-cresol, is simultaneously determined. The effect of the probability of crossover and the establishment of objective function are discussed. The method of adaptive mutation is used. The results indicate that genetic algorithm has excellent non-linear ability of solution. Mean relative error of each results is really small, generally not bigger than 1%, when the conditions are properly controlled.
