In this study, the potential of nondestructive determination of amine concentration, CO2 loading, and water content in CO2 absorption solvent in the gas processing unit was investigated through Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy that has the ability to readily carry out multicomponent analysis in association with multivariate analysis methods. The FT-NIR spectra for the solvent were captured and interpreted by using suitable spectra wavenumber regions through multivariate statistical techniques such as partial least square (PLS). The calibration model developed for amine determination had the highest coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9955 and RMSECV of 0.75. CO2 calibration model achieved R2 of 0.9902 with RMSECV of 0.25 whereas the water calibration model had R2 of 0.9915 with RMSECV of 1.02. The statistical evaluation of the validation samples also confirmed that the difference between the actual value and the predicted value from the calibration model was not significantly different and acceptable. Therefore, the amine, CO2, and water models have given a satisfactory result for the concentration determination using the FT-NIR technique. The results of this study indicated that FT-NIR spectroscopy with chemometrics and multivariate technique can be used for the CO2 solvent monitoring to replace the time-consuming and labor-intensive conventional methods. © 2020 Mohd Yusop Nurida et al. date: 2020 publisher: Hindawi Limited official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85079742383&doi=10.1155%2f2020%2f9830685&partnerID=40&md5=6ef0a96dad9145928240c39db36a169f id_number: 10.1155/2020/9830685 full_text_status: none publication: International Journal of Analytical Chemistry volume: 2020 refereed: TRUE issn: 16878760 citation: Yusop Nurida, M. and Norfadilah, D. and Siti Aishah, M.R. and Zhe Phak, C. and Saleh, S.M.
