Abstract Fourier transform infrared absorption (FTIR) spectroscopy has been used to study a discotic liquid crystal. IR spectra are reported as a function of temperature for hexapentyloxytriphenyle...
Molecular dynamics of carrageenan composites reinforced with Cloisite Na+ montmorillonite nanoclay
2017
[EN] Nanocomposites comprising biodegradable carrageenan and glycerol(KCg) as the host polymer, with different contents of natural montmorillonite (MMT) as filler, were prepared by a solution casting process. Different techniques have been used to determine the interaction/behavior among the different components of the samples such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and, mainly, Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS). FTIR indicates hydrogen interaction between carrageenan matrix and silicate that is confirmed by the XRD data indicating some kind of carrageenan intercalation between the MMT layers. A rather ho…
Structural and CO [sub] 2 capture properties of ethylenediamine-modified HKUST-1 metal-organic framework
2020
The high structural and compositional flexibility of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) shows their great potential for CO2 capture and utilization in accordance with the environmental guidelines of low-carbon technology developments. HKUST-1 as one of the most intensively studied representatives of MOFs for such purposes excels because of its simplicity of production and high ability to tune its intrinsic properties by various functionalization processes. In the present work, ethylenediamine functionalization was performed for the first time in order to thoroughly investigate the amine sorption sites’ impact on the CO2 capture performance of HKUST-1. The placement of ethylenediamine moieties …
Alkali-Activated Adsorbents from Slags: Column Adsorption and Regeneration Study for Nickel(II) Removal
2021
Alkali-activated adsorbents were synthesized by mixing three different slags from the steel industry: blast furnace slag (BFS), ladle slag (LS), and Lintz–Donawitz converter slag (LD). These powdered slag-based geopolymers (GP) were used to remove nickel(II) from aqueous solutions in fixed-bed column studies. The experiments were conducted in pH 6 using a phosphate buffer with initial nickel(II) concentration of 50 mg/L. Samples were taken at time intervals of between 5 and 90 min. Three adsorption–desorption cycles were implemented with a flow rate of 5 mL/min. The geopolymers were characterized by Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Field Emissi…
Oxidation of pentan-2-ol -Part II: Experimental and modeling study
2021
International audience; The oxidation of pentan-2-ol was investigated at high-pressure in a jet-stirred reactor and in a shock tube. Experiments in the JSR were carried out at 10 atm, between 500-1180 K, for five different equivalence ratios of = 0.35, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 1000 ppm of fuel, at a constant residence time of 0.7 s. Reactant, product and intermediate species mole fractions were quantified using Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) and gas chromatography (GC). Ignition delay times were measured for pentan-2-ol/O 2 mixtures in argon in a shock tube at 20 and 40 bar, in a temperature range of 1070-1460 K and for equivalence ratios of = 0.5, 1 and 2. Ignition delay times of a…
Phosphomolybdic acid and mixed phosphotungstic/phosphomolybdic acid chitosan membranes as polymer electrolyte for H2/O2 fuel cells
2017
Abstract Flat, free-standing phosphomolybdic acid and mixed phosphotungstic/phosphomolybdic acid chitosan membranes were prepared by in-situ ionotropic gelation process at room temperature on porous alumina support firstly impregnated by heteropolyacid. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the formation of compact and homogenous polymeric membranes, whose thickness resulted to be dependent on reticulation time, and almost independent on the employed heteropolyacid nature and concentration. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy evidenced the formation of crystalline membranes without appreciable concentration of unprotonated NH 2 groups and heteropolyacid ions with p…
Study of the v3 = 1 State of 80SeF6 by Fourier Transform Spectroscopy
1997
The Fourier transform infrared spectrum of monoisotopic 80SeF6 has been recorded in the 760-792 cm-1 region with an effective resolution of ca. 2.3 x 10(-3) cm-1. The 80SeF6 sample was prepared by burning monoisotopic 80Se powder (99.2%) in an excess of fluorine. The analysis of infrared transitions of the nu3 band enabled the determination of parameters of the Hamiltonian developed up to the third order and the fourth order. The standard deviation obtained is equal to 4 x 10(-4) cm-1 for the third-order development and 3.2 x 10(-4) cm-1 for the fourth-order development. In the two analyses, 2900 lines were assigned and fitted. Copyright 1997 Academic Press. Copyright 1997Academic Press
In situ FTIR and Raman spectroelectrochemical characterization of graphene oxide upon electrochemical reduction in organic solvents
2015
Electrochemical reduction of solution cast and self-assembled graphene oxide (GO) films on Au surfaces were studied using organic solvents. During the cyclic voltammetry measurements the structural changes in the films were recorded focusing on in situ infrared and Raman techniques. Both FT-Raman and dispersive Raman spectroscopy were utilized for the reduction studies. The spectroelectrochemical results indicate that the changes in the GO structure take place in a quite narrow potential range extending from -1 to -1.7 V. Higher negative potentials gives rise to reversible changes in the spectra and are not due to reduction processes of GO but more related to changes in the electrolyte medi…
Thermal and infrared spectroscopic characterization of historical mortars
1998
Abstract The characterization of historical mortars was performed by thermal analysis (TG-DTG), simultaneous infrared spectroscopy (TG-FTIR) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The samples were taken from St. John Church (Tartu, Estonia), built in the 13th–14th centuries. The analyses are important for the restoration of the church. In reality, mortar is a very difficult system, the lime is accompanied with different hydraulic components. TG-DTG analysis and FTIR methods can be used to identify various components of mortar and to observe the reactions associated with the controlled heating at 25–900°C in dynamic air and nitrogen atmosphere. The elemental c…
Structural and optical properties of Fe and Zn substituted CuInS2 nanoparticles synthesized by a one-pot facile method
2015
We substitute indium present in the CuInS2 ternary compound by iron and zinc using a facile one-pot synthesis method. The quaternary compound of CuIn1−xMxS2 (M = Fe and Zn) was synthesized by dissolving CuCl, InCl3, FeCl3, Zn(ac)2 and SC(NH2)2 as precursors in 1-octadecene, oleylamine and oleic acid as non-coordinating, coordinating and capping agent solvents, respectively. Oleic acid, oleylamine and thiourea were used respectively as a hard Lewis base, borderline Lewis base (in comparison with oleic acid) and soft Lewis base to form appropriate complexes. The complex formation, structure, and optical properties of CuIn1−xMxS2 (M = Fe and Zn) nanoparticles were studied by Fourier transform …
