FDA dimension reduction techniques and components separation in Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy
2020
FTIR spectroscopy is a measurement technique used to obtain an infrared spectrum of absorption of a solid (or a liquid or a gas), for the characterization of specific chemical components of materials. When repeated measures are taken on samples of materials, the result is a collection of spectra representing a set of samples from continous functions (signals) defined in the domain of the frequencies. An unifying approach to the study of a collection of FTIR spectra is proposed to deal with the presence of random shifts in the peaks, the identification of representative spectra and finally the characterization of the observed differences: in the functional data framework, the performance of …

Selective oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over SnO2-promoted NiO catalysts
2012
[EN] Ni-Sn-O mixed oxides catalysts have been investigated for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane. The catalysts were prepared through the evaporation of aqueous solutions of nickel nitrate and tin oxalate and finally calcined in air at 500 degrees C for 2 h. These materials have been characterized by several techniques (N-2-adsorption, X-ray diffraction, High-Resolution Electron Microscopy, temperature programmed reduction, X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy of adsorbed CO and O-18/O-16 isotope exchange). The addition of just a tiny amount of tin highly increases the selectivity to ethylene (from ca. 40% to 80-90%). Thus, high selectivity to et…

Aportación de nuevas metodologías multitécnica en el estudio y conservación de patrimonio numismático de procedencia subacuática
2019
Este trabajo presenta un estudio del estado de conservación de monedas con base de cobre procedente del Museo Nacional de Arqueología Subacuática. La metodología multitécnica incluye instrumentación convencional como microscopía óptica, espectroscopia FTIR y técnicas avanzadas nanoinvasivas como voltamperometría de micropartículas y haz de iones focalizados-FESEM-EDX. Así se ha podido identificar el tipo de aleación, productos de corrosión, depósitos superficiales y antiguas intervenciones. Cabe señalar la identificación de mecanismos de alteración atípicos como la formación de complejos carboxilados de iones metálicos generados en los procesos electroquímicos de corrosión del metal o aleac…

Investigation of phthalocyanine crystals exposed to NO2 ambient gas
2002
Crystals of free base phthalocyanine (H2pc) and its unsubstituted metal derivatives Mpc (where M=Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, and pc=C32H16N8 2−=phthalocyanine ligand) were examined after being exposed to NO2 ambient gas. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) supported by X-ray microprobe analysis (EDAX), UV–Vis and FTIR spectroscopy as well as X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD) were applied to study the crystals chemistry and surface morphology. The NO2 molecules were found to penetrate the crystal unit which led to the breakdown of the phthalocyanine macrocycle. The surface of the doped crystals has been scaled and covered by a layer composed predominantly of phthalimide. Despite vacuum desorption, it has…

On-line measurements of RuO$_4$ during a PWR severe accident
2015
International audience; After the Fukushima accident, it became essential to have a way to monitor in real time the evolution of a nuclear reactor during a severe accident, in order to react efficiently and minimize the industrial, ecological and health consequences of the accident. Among gaseous fission products, the tetroxide of ruthenium RuO$_4$ is of prime importance since it has a significant radiological impact. Ruthenium is a low volatile fission product but in case of the rupture of the lower head by the molten corium, the air entering into the vessel oxidizes Ru into gaseous RuO$_4$, which is not trapped by the Filtered Containment Venting Systems. To monitor the presence of RuO$_4…
