    Abstract

    The concentration of Cr,Cu,Zn,As and Pb in soil was tested by portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometer.Each sample was tested for 3 times,then after using wavelet threshold noise filtering method for denoising and smoothing the spectra,a standard curve for each heavy metal was established according to the standard values of heavy metals in soil and the corresponding counts which was the average of the 3 processed spectra.The signal to noise ratio (SNR),mean square error (MSE) and information entropy (H) were taken to assess the effects of denoising when using wavelet threshold noise filtering method for determining the best wavelet basis and wavelet decomposition level.Some samples with different concentrations and H3BO3 (blank) were chosen to retest this instrument to verify its stability.The results show that:the best denoising result was obtained with the coif3 wavelet basis at the decomposition level of 3 when using the wavelet transform method.The determination coefficient (R2) range of the instrument is 0.990~0.996,indicating that a high degree of linearity was found between the contents of heavy metals in soil and each X-ray fluorescence spectral characteristic peak intensity with the instrument measurement within the range(0~1 500 mg·kg-1).After retesting and calculating,the results indicate that all the detection limits of the instrument are below the soil standards at national level.The accuracy of the model has been effectively improved,and the instrument also shows good precision with the practical application of wavelet transform to the establishment and improvement of X-ray fluorescence spectrometer detection model.Thus the instrument can be applied in on-site rapid screening of heavy metal in contaminated soil.
