Abstract
Currently, spectral analysis methods used in the classification of plastics have limitations that do not apply to opaque plastics or the stability of experimental results is not strong. In this paper, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) has been applied to classify plastics due to its strong penetrability and stability. Fifteen kinds of plastics are selected as specimens. X-ray, which is excited by a voltage of 60 kV, penetrated these specimens. The spectral data acquired by CdTe X-ray detector are processed by principal component analysis (PCA) and other data analysis methods. Then the back propagation neural networks (BPNN) algorithm is used to classify the processed data. The average recognition rate reached 96.95% and classification results of all types of plastic results were analyzed in detail. It indicates that XAS has the potential to classify plastics and that XAS can be used in some fields such as plastic waste sorting and recycling. At the same time, the technology of XAS, in the future, can also be used to classify more substances.
