Abstract
A mathematical model between the relative error in the Kubelka—Munk (K—M) function and the sample concentration has been determined if the K—M function is linear with the sample concentration, c≤ w/w%. The theoretical model has been investigated by measuring 3–5 parallels at different sample concentrations and calculating the RSD for the selected absorption bands. Quartz (dave = 1.3 μm) and calcite (dave = 3.3 μm) as analytes and KBr (dave = 9.9 μm) as embedding material were used. The result of the model and the experiments were in a good agreement. It has been shown that the RSD for absorption bands with small sensitivity can increase up to ±20–60%. The precision of the quantitative analysis in diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectrometry (DRIFTS) can be improved by applying more sensitive absorption bands and parallel measurements at one standard concentration
