IR Spectroscopy and FTIR

Molecular Vibrations
Material is made up of atoms

© ABB Inc. - 2 -

A group of atoms linked together by chemical bonds is called a molecule

Atoms of hydrogen and oxygen

Molecule of water

Molecular Vibrations
The atoms of a molecule are always in motion

© ABB Inc. - 3 -

These motions are called vibrations

symmetrical vibration
H-O-H

asymmetrical vibration
H-O-H

Properties of Molecular Vibrations
The rate of vibration is millions of cycles per second (it never stops)
Each vibration has a unique frequency
The frequency of a vibration depends on:
The strength of the chemical bond between atoms
The mass of each atom

So we can learn a lot about a molecule when we study its vibrations!

Principles of Infrared Spectroscopy
When a frequency of light corresponds to a molecular vibration it is absorbed by the sample

© ABB Inc. - 6 -

The fraction of light transmitted by the sample compared with the light incident as a function of frequency gives the infrared spectrum of the sample

Infrared Spectrum of a Polystyrene Film
Wavelength is expressed in number of waves per cm.

But What Is Really Happening Here?
In fact recording a spectrum is a little like tuning in to radio stations...
We turn the button (change the frequency)
Sometimes we catch a signal, and we hear music (we “absorb” the signal at this frequency)
We know which stations to find, because we know the frequency where they are (we know which vibrations to pickup)
Sometimes the signal is strong, sometimes weaker (the peak is higher or lower)

© ABB Inc. - 9 -

Sometimes we hear nothing at all!

The ABB Michelson FT-IR

Acquisition of an Infrared Spectrum
The light coming from the source goes through the interferometer; the movement of the mirrors causes an interference pattern which is called the interferogram
Next the light passes through the sample; the interferogram of the source is modified as the light is absorbed by the sample
The interferogram is measured by the detector

© ABB Inc. - 33 -

The interferogram is transformed into a spectrum by a mathematical operation called the Fourier Transform algorithm Acquisition of an Infrared Spectrum

Light Weight Geopolymer Concrete with Eps Beads

...Introduction This research paper is mainly concerned with the production of lightweight geopolymer concrete using expanded poelystyrene (EPS) beads as part replacement of the normal aggregates for precast building components as well as in sandwich construction, the information on properties of lightweight geopolymer concrete with different percentage of EPS bead aggregate is given and it is also compared with the with the existing guidelines (ASTM C 90). Furthermore, performance of EPS/geopolymer concretes is discussed in relation to their flammability and insulation characteristics (Techniques used; DSC (Differential scanning calorimetry, based on heat difference), TG/DTA (Differential thermal analysis, based on temperature difference) and FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) under quasi-isothermal mode). Geopolymers as an alternative to ordinary Portland cement for concrete is used because it has high early compressive strength, low drying shrinkage, good fire resistance and superior durability in aggressive environment compared to Portland cement concrete. Geopolymers are produced through reactions between the alumino-silicate reactive materials (metakaoline, slag, fly ash etc) and their strength and microstructural properties are studied under fresh and hardened states. The selection of EPS bead aggregate was made mainly due to its low density, closed cellular structure, hydrophobic and energy absorbing characteristics. Experiment Materials * Class F fly...

Advantages And Disadvantages Of N-Methylmorpholine-N-Mo

...The crystalline structure of regenerated lignocellulose as well as the untreated one are usually expressed by Total Crystallinity Index (TCI) and Lateral Order Index (LOI) using FTIR [318]. Purwandari et al. [310] reported that TCI (the absorbance ratio A1427/A898 calculated by FTIR spectra) of oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) reduced by up to 78%, during the pretreatment in 85% NMMO at 120°C for 3 h. In addition, ballooning and swelling modes of NMMO result in lower total crystallinity indexes at 120°C rather than 90°C. This finding is in contrast with ballooning and swelling modes of NMMO pretreated of cotton that result in lower crystallinity indexes at 90°C than 120°C [297]. However, crystallinity indexes decrease slightly for different modes of dissolution, ballooning, and swelling. Besides, the intramolecular hydrogen-bonding OH stretching at about 3,350 cm-l in pretreated cotton is broadened and shifted to a higher wave number, which is an indication of transforming...

Abd El-azeem3 1: Holding Company for Potable Water and Sanitation, Fayoum, Egypt 2: Instrumental Analytical Chemistry, University of Duisburg-Essen, Essen, Germany 3: Chemistry Departement, Faculty of Science, Fayoum University, Fayoum, Egypt Introduction Water is one of the vital necessities for the survival of human beings. Wastewater reclamation, recycling and reuse are vital to meet the water requirements for irrigation, industry and domestic use due to increasing population and development in many parts of the world. Industrial wastewaters largely possess organic and inorganic materials such as dyes, phenols, aromatic compounds, and heavy metals [1]. Phenols cause bad taste and odor of drinking water and can exert negative effects on different biological processes. Phenol and its derivatives also show mutagenic effects by unbinding of the DNA helix, inhibition of DNA synthesis in human, induction of gene mutations, chromosome aberrations and a neuploid formations (phenol, catechol) [2]. Because of this increased awareness and concern about environmental pollution, stringent national and international legislation has been set up, generating more efforts of research work in this area, especially in finding better and more efficient techniques to treat wastewater bearing these organic pollutants [3].

The rate of drug release was investigated by in vitro dissolution studies using UV spectroscopy. The results indicate that these Crosslinked chitosan beads are capable of controlled and sustained release of meformin HCL upto a maximum time of 12 h in PBS at pH 7.4. Keywords: Chitosan, Metformin HCl, Controlled drug delivery, In-Vitro release. Introduction Large number of active compounds is discovered that could serve as therapeutics but very few candidates show clinical success. Their poor activity in vivo is often due to the reason of their low bioavailability. Bioavailability is basically the rate and the extent at which a drug enters and affects the target tissue (Kidane, 2005). When a drug is administered systemically, its bioavailability is...

Chitosan Case Study

...FTIR of ACS film were compared with PCS film (Fig. 3 (a & b)). In general, chitosan shows bands at 3000 to 3500 cm−1 (NH bond) and at 1400 to 1650 cm−1 (C=O bond) (Chatterjee et al., 2005). In ACS film, 5 prominent bands at 2921, 1638, 1556, 1376 and 1017cm−1 were recorded. The broad band inthe range 3000 to 3500 cm−1 is due to O–H and N-H stretching vibrations (George et al., 2011). Band at 1638 cm−1 represents acetylated amino group of chitin (C=O stretching, amide 1), which indicates the extent of deacetylation of chitosan (Saraswathy et al., 2001). Peak at 2921 and 1417 cm−1 corresponds to aliphatic C-H stretching and –CO stretching of primary alcoholic group, respectively (–CH2–OH) (Pranoto and others 2005). Another major absorption band observed at 1017 cm−1 represents the free primary amino group (–NH2) at C2 position of glucosamine, a major group present in chitosan (Xiao et al., 2003). In total, the FTIR spectra of ACS showed 7 prominent peaks explaining the stretching absorption due to aldehyde and esters, bending absorption due to methylene and methyl groups and double bond absorptions...

...Clays and Clay Minerals, Vol. 49, No. 5, 410–432, 2001. BASELINE STUDIES OF THE CLAY MINERALS SOCIETY SOURCE CLAYS: INFRARED METHODS ´ JANA MADEJOVA AND PETER KOMADEL Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Slovak Academy of Sciences, SK-842 36 Bratislava, Slovakia INTRODUCTION Infrared (IR) spectroscopy has a long and successful history as an analytical technique and is used extensively (McKelvy et al., 1996; Stuart, 1996). It is mainly a complementary method to X-ray diffraction (XRD) and other methods used to investigate clays and clay minerals. It is an economical, rapid and common technique because a spectrum can be obtained in a few minutes and the instruments are sufficiently inexpensive as to be available in many laboratories. An IR spectrum can serve as a fingerprint for mineral identification, but it can also give unique information about the mineral structure, including the family of minerals to which the specimen belongs and the degree of regularity within the structure, the nature of isomorphic substituents, the distinction of molecular water from constitutional hydroxyl, and the presence of both crystalline and non-crystalline impurities (Farmer, 1979). The interpretation of the absorption spectra of the Source Clays in the middle-IR (MIR) region (4000– 400 cm 1) given here follows those of Farmer and Russell (1964), Farmer (1974a, 1979) and Russell and Fraser (1994). In addition, reflectance spectra in the near-IR (NIR) region (11,000–4000 cm 1), where overtones...

Lab Report Principles of Spectroscopy

...|CM2101 (Principles of Spectroscopy) | |Experiment 1: Rovibrational Spectrum of Hydrogen Chloride | AIM To measure the infra-red (IR) spectrum of gaseous HCl using Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectrometer, and analyse the rotational fine structures. ABSTRACT The experiment aims to identify various parameters of gaseous HCl related to quantum mechanics by using high-resolution IR spectrum and graphical method of analysis. The values that are being investigated specifically are νe (equilibrium vibrational frequency), νeχe (product of equilibrium vibrational frequency and anharmonicity constant), k (force constant), B0 (rotational constant at n = 0), B1 (rotational constant at n = 1), Be (rotational constant at equilibrium internuclear distance), α (Coriolis constant) and re (equilibrium internuclear distance). The spectrum obtained shows strong fundamental absorption band approximately between 3100 and 2600 cm-1, with the origin of the band approximately at 2880 cm-1. It is also characterised by the presence of P and R branches which spreads out from the origin, with the former being present at a lower wavenumber region than the latter. In addition, double peaks are observed due to the presence of two isotopes of chlorine: 35Cl and 37Cl. INTRODUCTION One of the areas being...

...Şencan & Mustafa Karaboyacı & Mehmet Kılıç Received: 26 November 2013 / Accepted: 23 April 2014 # Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014 Abstract This study aimed to determine the Pb+2 adsorption capacities of hazelnut shell and activated carbon obtained from hazelnut shell. It also aimed to determine the effect of ZnCl2 in the activation process. The hazelnut was pyrolyzed at 250 and 700 °C. For determining the capture speed of the adsorbents, the pseudo-first- and second-order kinetic studies were performed. The Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models were used to determine adsorption equilibrium. The surface characterization of hazelnut shell and activated carbon was determined by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis and FTIR spectrum. Pb+2 adsorption capacity of obtaining activated carbon was determined by ICP-OES analysis. The raw hazelnut shell’s BET surface area is 5.92 m2/g and the surface area of activated carbons which is pyrolyzed at 250 and 700 °C were determined (270.2 and 686.7 m2/g, respectively. The surface area of hazelnut shell, which pyrolyzed at 700 °C after being activated with ZnCl2, was determined to be 736.49 m2/g. Results show that physical adsorption process is dominant for the activated carbon pyrolysis at 700 °C but the chemical adsorption is dominant for the activated carbon pyrolysis at lower degrees and for raw hazelnut shell.
