Abstract

Temperature, pressure, viscosity, and other process variables fluctuate during an industrial process. When vibrational spectra are measured on- or in-line for process analytical and control purposes, the fluctuations influence the shape of the spectra in a nonlinear manner. The influence of these temperature-induced spectral variations on the predictive ability of multivariate calibration model is assessed. Short-wave NIR spectra of ethanol/water/2-propanol mixtures are taken at different temperatures, and different local and global partial least-squares calibration strategies are applied. The resulting prediction errors and sensitivity vectors of a test set are compared. For data with no temperature variation, the local models perform best with high sensitivity but the knowledge of the temperature for prediction measurements cannot aid in the improvement of local model predictions when temperature variation is introduced. The prediction errors of global models are considerably lower when temperature variation is present in the data set but at the expense of sensitivity. To be able to build temperature-stable calibration models with high sensitivity, a way of explicitly modeling the temperature should be found.
