Abstract: A method for simultaneous determination of metal ions in water samples was developed using adsorption preconcentration and near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy(NIRDRS). A high capacity adsorbent of thiol-functionalized polysilsesquioxane microspheres(PMPSQ) was prepared for preconcentration of Hg2+ and Ag+ in aqueous solutions. After adsorbing the analytes onto the adsorbent, NIRDRS was measured and partial least squares(PLS) models were established for fast and simultaneous quantitative prediction. Because the interaction of the ions with the functional groups of the adsorbent can be revealed from the spectra, the models built with the water samples were proven efficient enough to predict Hg2+ and Ag+ in a range of 0.16—1.80 mg/L and that of 0.15—1.70 mg/L respectively. The wavenumber changes of C—H group are thought to be the quantitative basis.
