[Objective]

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) holds significant potential for application in the field of coal property analysis, due to its advantages of eliminating complex sample pretreatment, enabling multi-parameter synchronous detection, and offering rapid analysis. However, discrepancies in spectral responses exist among different instruments. These discrepancies cause severe accuracy degradation when a quantitative model trained on spectra acquired by a master instrument is applied to slave instruments. Therefore, this study constructed cross-instrument LIBS quantitative analysis models of coal property by integrating TrAdaBoost transfer learning with various machine-learning algorithms.

[Methods]

Two LIBS-based coal analyzers were designated as the master and slave instruments respectively, and LIBS spectra were collected from different numbers of coal samples on both devices. Random forest (RF), support-vector regression (SVR), and their TrAdaBoost-enhanced counterparts (TrA-RF and TrA-SVR) were employed to build quantitative analysis models. Model performance was evaluated by predicting the coal properties of unknown coal samples on the slave instrument.

[Results]

The results indicated that both TrA-RF and TrA-SVR models significantly outperformed their non-transfer counterparts. The TrA-RF model achieved the highest accuracy for calorific value, ash content, and carbon content. Compared with RF model, the mean absolute errors decreased from 1.390 MJ/kg, 4.774 %, and 3.826 % to 0.654 MJ/kg, 2.338%, and 1.927%, respectively. TrA-SVR model yielded the highest accuracy for volatile matter prediction. Compared with the SVR model, the mean absolute error decreased from 2.722% (SVR) to 2.524%.

[Conclusion]

These findings demonstrate that coupling transfer learning with an appropriate base learner markedly enhances the adaptability of LIBS-based coal property models across different instruments.
