Aluminum oxide is one of the most commonly used materials in the industry. It is used in the field of catalysis, refractories, and optics. Despite the fact that there are many techniques available, there is still a great challenge in obtaining a material with desired and designed properties. Nevertheless, there is a great flexibility in making customized alumina materials with desired physicochemical properties synthesized by sol–gel methods. This work consists in characterizing the physicochemical properties of sol–gel synthesized aluminum oxide using different sol–gel preparation routes. Three different sols were obtained by using organic precursors and underwent thermal treatment. The structure (Middle Infrared Spectroscopy, Diffused Reflectance Infrared Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction, Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) and microstructure (Scanning Electron Microscopy with Electron Dispersive Spectroscopy) tests of the materials were carried out. The specific surface area was determined by using the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method. Thermal analysis was performed for all the powders, in order to analyze the specific temperature of materials transformation.

The composition and physical properties of interstellar grain mantles continues to be an important problem in astrophysics. Part of this importance comes from the fact that grain mantle composition, photochemistry and photophysics are involved in interstellar chemistry (Greenberg et al. 1972, Greenberg, 1979, Greenberg et al. this volume). Because most molecules have a number of fundamental modes of vibration which possess activity between 2.5 and 25 μm (the middle infrared), spectroscopic measurement in this region can provide a direct probe of the molecules making up grain mantles. In addition to molecular composition, under favorable conditions, such measurements can yield molecular abundances, the solid/gas ratio for specific molecules and give an indication of such physical grain properties as temperature and thermal history.

AbstractThis paper presents results of new far-infrared and middle-infrared measurements (wavenumber range of 4000–100 cm−1) of the CoFe2O4 ceramic in the temperature range from 300 K to 8 K. The band positions and their shapes remain constant across the wide temperature range. The quality of the sample was investigated by X-ray, EDS and EPMA studies. The CoFe2O4 retains the cubic structure (Fd - 3m) across the temperature range from 85 K to 360 K without any traces of distortion. Based on current knowledge the polycrystalline CoFe2O4 does not exhibit any phase transitions across the temperature range from 8 K to 300 K.

The potential of Fourier transform middle-infrared spectroscopy has been demonstrated for the quantitative analysis of substrates (glucose and fructose) and metabolites (glycerol and ethanol) involved in alcoholic fermentation. Temperature variations between samples and water background reference caused changes in absorbance, and therefore the prediction of concentrations with partial least-squares (PLS) regressions was affected. The same temperatures for the calibration, validation, and prediction sets gave the smallest standard error of prediction (SEP): SEPglucose = 3.9 g L−1; SEPfructose = 4.3 g L−1; SEPglycerol = 0.5 g L−1; SEPethanol = 1.3 g L−1. In order to take different working temperatures (18, 25, and 35 °C) into account, an artificial neural network was used to create a nonlinear multivariate model. Compared to PLS regression, this method provided better results, especially for glycerol and ethanol, where SEP decreased by 0.3 g L−1 and 0.4 g L−1, respectively.

Middle infrared spectroscopy combined with chemometrics was investigated for the fast determination of protein of mushroom. 140 samples (35 for each variety) were selected randomly for the calibration set, whereas, 40 samples for the validation set. After some spectrum preprocessing, linear modeling method (PLS) and nonlinear modeling LS-SVM were constructed. Different latent variables were used as inputs of LS-SVM. The optimal models were obtained with 8 LVs based on LS-SVM. The correlation coefficient,,root mean square error of prediction for the best prediction by LV-LS-SVM were 0.9275, 0.25961. The result indicated that middle infrared spectroscopy combined with LV-LS-SVM could be applied as a high precision and fast way for determination protein of mushroom.

The aim of this study was to characterize the essential oil (EO) of red aroeira seeds and to evaluate their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. The EO was extracted by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type device with a yield of 9.83% ± 0.31%; it was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to determine its physical-chemical characteristics. The EO showed acidity of 0.2814 mg KOH g-1, a 1.4763 ± 0.0014 refraction index and density of 0.9365 ± 0.01656 g cm-3. Through the FTIR, the absorption bands of the EO indicated the presence of the following components: limonene, delta -3-carene, a pinene and myrcene. By GC-MS the major compounds found were 4(10)-thujene (44.97%) α-Pinene (20.42%), o-Cymene (12.76%) and p-Menth-1-en-4-ol, (R)-(-)-(6.74%). Antimicrobial activity was evaluated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In the microdilution method, no inhibiting activity was found in the tested concentrations (serial dilutions from 25.6 to 0.05 μL mL-1) and in the disk diffusion method, inhibition halos were observed only when pure EO was added. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH (oxidation-reduction reaction) and FRAP (iron ion reduction). In the DPPH, the obtained result was 0.01119 ± 0.0001 μmol g-1 and in FRAP, 13.813 ± 0.02187 μmol g-1, which demonstrates antioxidant activity in the two evaluated methods, indicating the possible application of the essential oil of red aroeira seeds as a natural antioxidant agent.
