Rapid Identification of Oil Contaminated Soils Using Visible Near Infrared Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy

Initially, 46 petroleum contaminated and non-contaminated soil samples were collected and scanned using visible near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (VisNIR DRS) at three combinations of moisture content and pretreatment. The VisNIR spectra of soil samples were used to predict total petrol...
