摘要： It is of great significance to realize the rapid or online analysis of coal properties for combustion optimization of thermal power plants. In this work, a set of calibration schemes based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was determined to improve the measurement on quantitative analysis of coal properties, including proximate analysis (calorific value, ash, volatile content) and ultimate analysis (carbon and hydrogen). Firstly, different normalization methods (channel normalization and normalization with the whole spectral area) combined with two regression algorithms (partial least-squares regression [PLSR] and support vector regression [SVR]) were compared to initially select the appropriate calibration method for each indicator. Then, the influence of de-noising by the wavelet threshold de-noising (WTD) on quantitative analysis was further studied, thereby the final analysis schemes for each indicator were determined. The results showed that WTD coupled SVR can be well estimated calorific value and ash, the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) were 0.80 MJ kg?1 and 0.60%. Coupling WTD and PLSR performed best for the measurement of volatile content, the RMSEP was 0.76%. For the quantitative analysis of carbon and hydrogen, normalization with the whole spectral area combined with SVR can get better measurement results, the RMSEP of the measurements were 1.08% and 0.21%, respectively. The corresponding average standard deviation (RSD) for calorific value, ash, volatile content, carbon and hydrogen of validation sets were 0.26 MJ kg?1, 0.57%, 0.79%, 0.47% and 0.08%, respectively. The results demonstrated that the selection of appropriate spectral pre-processing coupled with calibration strategies for each indicator can effectively improve the accuracy and precision of the measurement on coal properties.
