A New Plant Indicator (Artemisia lavandulaefolia DC.) of Mercury in Soil Developed by Fourier-Transform Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Coupled with Least Squares Support Vector Machine by Lu Xu, Qiong Shi, Bang-Cheng Tang, Shunping Xie

“…As a reference method, the total mercury contents in soil and ALDC samples were determined by a direct mercury analyzer incorporating high-temperature decomposition, catalytic adsorption for impurity removal, amalgamation capture, and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Based on the FT-NIR data of ALDC samples, LS-SVM models were established to distinguish mercury-contaminated and ordinary soil. …”
