[0065] In step S2, the preprocessing method includes:
[0066] S2-1. Select appropriate acetone or toluene solvent for liquid-liquid extraction to extract the organic components in the sample. For polymers in waterproof materials, use a Soxhlet extractor for long-term extraction;
[0067] S2-2. Filter the extract using filter paper or filter membrane to remove insoluble impurities, and further purify the extract through an activated carbon column or solid phase extraction (SPE) column;
[0068] S2-3. The extract was concentrated by a rotary evaporator to remove the solvent to obtain a higher concentration of the target compound;
[0069] S2-4. According to the properties of the target compound, a derivatization reaction is performed to improve its response on GC-MS;
[0070] S2-5. Dilute the concentrated sample to a concentration suitable for instrument detection. Aliquot the sample and prepare for subsequent instrument analysis.
[0071] Step S3 specifically includes:
[0072] S2-1: Automated sample preparation, using an automated dilution system to dilute concentrated samples to a concentration suitable for HPLC analysis according to a preset program. An automated filtration device with a 0.22 μm filter membrane is used to filter samples to ensure that there is no interference from particulate matter and protein. For samples that require pre-concentration, an online S2-PE-HPLC system is used for automated pre-concentration.
[0073] S2-2: Selection of chromatographic column and mobile phase: select a suitable UHPLC column according to the sample characteristics, such as an ultrafine particle C18 column, use expert system software to automatically optimize the mobile phase composition, including the ratio of aqueous phase to organic phase, and set the gradient elution program to ensure effective separation of different components.

[0079] S2-8: Data analysis and report generation, using statistical software for data analysis, including precision, accuracy and repeatability assessment, and automatically generating detailed analysis reports including sample information, analysis conditions, results and conclusions.
[0080] In step S2-5, data preprocessing is first performed, including data import, cleaning and normalization. Then, key chromatographic peak information is extracted by peak detection and feature calculation. On this basis, a noise model is established and background correction is performed to identify and remove interference signals. Subsequently, using the training set data, a suitable machine learning algorithm (such as SVM or random forest) is selected for model training, and the model is optimized by feature selection. The trained model is applied to automatically identify the chromatographic peaks in the new data, and the accuracy of the results is improved by peak confirmation and noise suppression steps. Finally, the analysis quality is ensured by result verification and model optimization, and the entire process is automated to establish a continuous monitoring process to achieve efficient and reliable chromatographic data analysis.
[0081] In step S4, first, the extract or sample is placed in a derivatization reactor, and a suitable derivatization agent, such as a silanization agent, an acylating agent or an alkylating agent, is selected according to the chemical properties of the sample. Under mild heating or room temperature conditions, the derivatization reaction is fully carried out, and it is usually necessary to add a catalyst or use specific reaction conditions to promote the reaction. After the derivatization is completed, the excess derivatization agent and solvent are removed by nitrogen purging or rotary evaporation, leaving the derivatization product. Subsequently, the derivatization product is dissolved in an appropriate solvent for GC-MS injection. In GC-MS analysis, the sample is injected into a gas chromatograph, and after separation by a chromatographic column, different compounds are eluted at different time points according to their boiling point and polarity, and enter a mass spectrometer for detection. The mass spectrometer generates a mass spectrum according to the mass-to-charge ratio (m / z) of the compound, and the components in the sample can be identified and quantified by comparing the standard spectral library or the calculated retention time.
[0082] In step S5, the dried powder sample is first mixed with an appropriate amount of potassium bromide (KBr). Potassium bromide, as an infrared transparent salt, is used to prepare infrared spectroscopic films because it does not absorb light in the infrared spectrum. During the mixing process, it is necessary to ensure that the ratio of sample and potassium bromide is appropriate so that sufficient signal intensity is obtained without oversaturation. The mixed powder is carefully transferred to a dedicated mold and pressed into a transparent infrared spectroscopic film with the help of a press. During the pressing process, the pressure needs to be evenly distributed to avoid bubbles and cracks, which will affect the transparency of the spectroscopic film and the subsequent spectral analysis results. The pressed infrared spectroscopic film is then placed in the sample chamber of the infrared spectrometer. During the analysis process, the infrared beam passes through the spectroscopic film, and the chemical bonds and functional groups in the sample absorb infrared light according to their specific vibration frequencies, thereby producing characteristic absorption peaks. By comparing the standard spectrum or using the known absorption frequency of the chemical bond, the chemical structure and composition in the sample can be identified, thereby performing qualitative and quantitative analysis of the sample.
[0083] In step S6, first, the sample to be analyzed is dissolved in an appropriate solvent, usually a deuterated solvent, such as deuterated chloroform (CDCl3) or deuterated water (D2O), to provide a uniform magnetic field environment. The dissolved sample is placed in an NMR tube and placed in the magnetic field of an NMR spectrometer. In the 1H NMR experiment, the magnetic resonance signal of the hydrogen nucleus is excited and recorded, producing a series of chemical shift peaks, the position, shape and integrated area of which provide information about the hydrogen atom environment in the molecule. In the 13C NMR experiment, the signal of the carbon nucleus is also recorded to provide information about the carbon skeleton. By analyzing parameters such as chemical shift, coupling constant, and splitting mode of the peak, the structure of the carbon-hydrogen skeleton in the molecule, the type of functional group, and the connection mode inside the molecule can be inferred. In addition, two-dimensional NMR techniques, such as HSQC and COSY, can further provide correlation information between different nuclei in the molecule, thereby more comprehensively analyzing the molecular structure.
[0084] In step S7, first, the sample is cut or ground into nanometer or micrometer-level flakes or particles and fixed on a dedicated sample stage. In SEM operation, the sample usually needs to be coated, such as gold or carbon, to improve conductivity and image quality. In TEM operation, the sample needs to be thin enough so that the electron beam can penetrate. While obtaining a microscopic image, elemental analysis can be performed in conjunction with an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). EDS determines the type and relative content of elements in the sample by detecting the characteristic X-rays emitted by the sample after being excited by the electron beam. This analysis can provide information on the chemical composition of the sample and help researchers understand the relationship between the composition of the sample and its microstructure. By combining SEM and TEM, detailed information about element distribution and chemical state can be obtained while observing the sample morphology.
[0085] In step S9, the preprocessed data is organized into a matrix, where each row represents a sample and each column represents a variable (such as a wavelength point in a spectrum or a retention time point in a chromatogram). The covariance matrix is then calculated using the formula:
[0086] Where Xi is the i-th sample and Xˉ is the average of all samples;
[0087] Then perform eigenvalue decomposition on the covariance matrix to obtain the eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors.
[0088] Calculate eigenvalues: By solving the characteristic equation
[0089] det(Cov(X)-λI)=0 to find the eigenvalue λ.
[0090] For each eigenvalue, by solving the equation:
[0091] (Cov(X)-λI)v=0 to find the eigenvector v.
[0092] Then sort the eigenvalues from largest to smallest. Select principal components: Select the eigenvectors corresponding to the largest eigenvalues. These eigenvectors represent the main components in the data.
[0093] Finally, the original data matrix is projected onto the selected principal component to obtain the principal component score matrix T, and the score is calculated: T = XW, where W is the matrix of the selected eigenvectors. The eigenvectors corresponding to each principal component are analyzed to determine which original variables contribute the most to the principal component.
[0094] In the present invention, a machine learning algorithm is used to automatically identify chromatographic peaks and remove noise and background interference, which has a significant beneficial effect on the component detection method of waterproof materials for building exterior walls. First, through accurate component analysis, the accuracy and reliability of the detection can be improved, ensuring that various components in waterproof materials, including polymers, additives, etc., are accurately identified and quantified. Secondly, automated processing accelerates the detection process, improves the work efficiency of the laboratory, and saves manpower and costs. In addition, standardized processes and repeatability improve the reliability and accuracy of the detection method, which helps to optimize product quality control and formula optimization. Finally, through accurate component detection, manufacturers can better control the quality of waterproof materials, enhance market competitiveness, and improve brand reputation. Therefore, the machine learning algorithm in the component detection method of waterproof materials for building exterior walls not only improves the detection efficiency and accuracy, but also enhances the quality control of the product, supports the research and development and innovation of the product, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of the entire industry.
[0095] In the present invention, the data obtained by different analytical techniques are comprehensively processed by statistical methods such as data integration and principal component analysis (PCA), and the main components and impurities are effectively identified. This data processing method not only improves the analysis efficiency, but also simplifies the complex data set through dimensionality reduction technology, making the results more intuitive and easy to understand.
