description

Adsorption behaviour of ZnSe, a popular material used in the manufacture of crystals for total internal reflectance techniques was studied for the adsorption of alcohols from dichloromethane solutions using infrared spectrometry. A series of n-alcohols were used in this study. The results show that the integrated area for the hydrogen bonded OH stretchings decrease and suggests that there is a continuous adsorption of alcohol molecules onto the ZnSe crystal by breaking the hydrogen bonds between alcohol molecules in solution.
