Recent applications of kinetic methods in multi-component analysis

Abstract

This review on multi-component kinetic-based determinations covers most publications in this field during the period 2000-2007. The methodologies applied during recent years have been based on differential reaction rates for simultaneous multi-component analysis. The literature shows a great attempt to apply chemometric methods, such as partial least squares regression, artificial neural networks, H-point standard addition and a new method involving mean centering of ratio spectra in this field. This review also describes some applications of advanced multiway analysis such as PARAFAC and NPLS from 2000 in the multi-component kinetic analysis.
