Comparative Study of Chemometric Approaches and Machine Learning for Miniaturized Near-infrared (micronir) Spectroscopy in Plasticwaste Sorting
Summary
This study tested a miniaturized near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy device combined with chemometric and machine learning methods to sort different types of plastic waste. The approach accurately identified polymer types, supporting more efficient plastic recycling operations that could reduce microplastic generation.
The plastic recycling industry necessitates fast and reliable methods to recognize the different polymer types to improve the recycling capacity.In this contribution, the coupling of a miniaturized Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy technique with a robust data analysis is presented.Comparison of multiple machine learning techniques, such as Support-Vector Machines (SVM), Fine Tree, Bagged Tree, and Ensemble Learning, and chemometric approaches, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Squares -Discriminant Analysis (PLS -DA), were combined to provide a broad overview and a rational means for selecting the approach in analysing NIR data for plastic waste sorting.
