Visible-infrared spectroscopy and chemical properties of water in mining area.

The present research focuses on investigating the relationship between spectral and chemical characteristics of water samples in Darrehzar mine. In order to reach this aim, the chemical characteristics of water were measured through pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis. Furthermore, the visible near infrared (VNIR) and shortwave infrared (SWIR) spectra of water samples were measured by Analytical Spectral Devices (ASD) FieldSpec spectroradiometer and the relationships between spectral and chemical characteristics of water samples were calculated.
