Machine Learning Algorithms for Intelligent Decision Recognition and Quantification of Cr(III) in Chromium Speciation

Cr-(III) is a common oxidation state of chromium, and its presence in the environment can occur naturally or as a result of human activities, such as industrial processes, mining, and waste disposal. This article explores the application of machine learning algorithms for the intelligent decision recognition and quantification of Cr-(III) in chromium speciation. Three different machine learning models, namely, the Decision Tree (DT) model, the PCA-SVM (Principal Component Analysis-Support Vector Machine) model, and the LDA (Linear Discriminant Analysis) model, were employed and evaluated for accurate and efficient classification of chromium concentrations based on their fluorescence responses. Furthermore, stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was utilized to achieve a more precise quantification of trivalent chromium concentrations through fluorescence visualization. The results demonstrate the potential of machine learning algorithms in accurately detecting and quantifying Cr-(III) in chromium speciation with implications for environmental and industrial applications in chromium detection and quantification. The findings from this research pave the way for further exploration and implementation of these models in real-world scenarios, offering valuable insights into various environmental and industrial contexts.
