Infrared Emissivity of Major Minerals Measured by FT-IR

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry.

Plants have a large capacity to transfer water and associated contaminants from soil to atmosphere. We measured the transfer rate for a range of constituents of gasoline that vary in volatility, solubility, and octanol/water partition coefficient. We tested benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, meta-xylene, 1,2,4-trimethyl benzene, cyclohexene, n-pentane, ethyl ether, n-propyl ether, and t-butyl met...

Biosorption of Lead and Copper by Heavy Metal Resistance Bacterium using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FT IR)

Abstract Background and Objectives: Contamination of environment to lead and copper is rising due to human activities. One of the best methods to remove heavy metals from the environment is bacterial remediation. This study aimed to isolate bacteria and investigate the mechanism of lead and copper bioremediation. Material and Methods: Heavy metal resistant bacteria were isolated from contaminat...

What Is an Ft-ir and an Ft-ir Spectrometer?

An FT-IR Spectrometer is an instrument which acquires broadband NIR to FIR spectra. Unlike a dispersive instrument, i.e. grating monochromator or spectrograph, an FT-IR Spectrometer collects all wavelengths simultaneously. This feature, called the Multiplex or Felgett Advantage, is discussed in detail on page 3. FT-IR Spectrometers are often simply called FT-IRs. But for the purists, an FT-IR (...

Transformation of metastable forms of acetaminophen studied by thermal Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) microspectroscopy.

A novel Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) microspectroscopy equipped with a micro hot stage (thermal FT-IR microscopic system) was used to quickly study the phase transformation of acetaminophen polymorphs by a one-step process. Acetaminophen was sealed in KBr disc on the first and second heating processes under this system. The results indicate that the contour IR profile of form I acetaminop...
