Some observations on the determination of the methyl parathion-parathion ratio in binary mixtures by infrared spectroscopy
Abstract The determination of the methyl parathion/parathion ratio in binary mixtures has been carried out by infrared spectroscopy using a simple and easy model for the treatment of the spectra obtained from sample thin films using sodium chloride windows. The model is based on the use of two bands, one at 974 cm−1, characteristic of parathion, and other at 1348 cm−1, common to both compounds. From the spectra of pure parathion samples and mixtures of known composition of methyl parathion and parathion, two constants have been obtained. These constants relate the absorption of each compound at 1348 cm−1 to the absorption of parathion at 974 cm−1. Eighteen synthetic samples have been analyz…
JEM–X inflight performance
We summarize the inflight performance of JEM-X, the X-ray monitor on the INTEGRAL mission during the initial ten months of operations. The JEM-X instruments have now been tuned to stable operational conditions. The performance is found to be close to the pre-launch expectations. The ground calibrations and the inflight calibration data permit to determine the instruments characteristics to fully support the scientific data analysis.
