Spectroscopy, which is always associated with chemometrics, is a versatile technique that is applied in several areas of science. It is fast, non-destructive, low-cost and, in addition, “clean”, requiring few or no reagents. The latter factor aligns the tool with green chemistry.

The current project aims to strengthen a multidisciplinary team that is familiar with spectroscopy, chemometrics, pedology, and soil fertility in order to adapt and incorporate various routine methods used in s ...

One of analytical techniques that enables precise chemical analyzes with speed, low cost and little sample manipulation is near-infrared spectroscopy - NIRS. The interest in NIR spectroscopy has grown remarkably and this technique has been recognized as a powerful tool for quantitative and qualitative analysis of chemical and physical parameters. Besides these features, the methodologies based on NIR spectroscopy have the following inherent properties: 1) allows simultaneous analysis of multi
