Spectroscopic Interpretation of PAH-Spectra in Minerals and Its Possible Application to Soil Monitoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to properly assess the feasibility of using Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy for soil monitoring, the variation of fluorescence intensity due to the heterogeneity and complexity of soil media was investigated. Different soil minerals showed fluorescence spectral structures distinguishable from the contaminants, implying dissimilar interactions or the binding of contaminants on mineral surfaces. More interestingly, solvent and water addition showed different responses in the fluorescence spectral structure showing their effect on the interactions between contaminants and minerals. These results support the claim that the spectral structure contains information on contaminant-mineral interactions; therefore contaminants can be used as a fluorescence probe for these interactions.

Modeling the interstellar aromatic infrared bands with co-added spectra of PAHs
Aims. The observed variations in profiles of the interstellar aromatic infrared bands correlate with the object type and are indicative of PAH populations existing in different sources. Spectroscopic studies on PAHs can provide tools for the interpretation of variations accompanying the AIBs. As the observed spectra results from a mix of possible species in the region attempt is made to model t...

متن کاملLaboratory Emission, Visible-near Infrared, and Mössbauer Spectroscopy of Iron Sulfates: Application to the Bright Paso Robles Soils in Gusev Crater, Mars
Introduction: The Mars Exploration Rover (MER) in Gusev Crater has exposed in its tracks an unusual occurrence of a soil high in sulfur and high in phosphorus [1, 2] at a site called Paso Robles (Fig. 1). This salty soil is thought to be composed of the following: Fe-, Mg-, and Ca-sulfates; Ca-phosphate; hematite, halite, allophane, and amorphous Si [1]. We are currently studying a large suite ...
متن کاملSpectroscopic Evidence of the Improvement of Reactive Iron Mineral Content in Red Soil by Long-Term Application of Swine Manure.
Mineral elements in soil solutions are thought to be the precursor of the formation of reactive minerals, which play an important role in global carbon (C) cycling. However, information regarding the regulation of mineral elements release in soil is scarce. Here, we examined the long-term (i.e., 23 yrs) effects of fertilisation practices on Fe minerals in a red soil in Southern China. The resul...

Possibility of mapping the distribution of Arsenic and Chromium in a mining area was investigated using combination of (VNIR) reflectance spectroscopy and geostatistical analysis. Fifty five soil samples were gathered from a waste dump at Sarcheshmeh copper mine and VNIR reflectance spectra were measured in a laboratory. Savitzky- Golay first derivative was used as the main pre-processing metho...
