Infrared Photoacoustic Spectroscopy

Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy (FT-IR/PAS) has been used to investigate the reaction of SO2, in He with CaO and CaCO3 particles at temperatures between 25 and 900°C. The reaction of SO2 with CaO occurs at 25°C, while the reaction of CaCO3 with SO2 is first evident at 550°C. The initial product of both of these reactions is CaSO3. The CaSO3 then further reacts with SO2 to form CaSO4, CaS2O3, and CaS at higher temperatures. At 900°C and above, the net production of SO4= and S2O3= is decreased because of the decomposition of SO3=. FT-IR/PAS depth-profiling experiments indicate the formation of a reaction-limiting product layer of SO3= and SO4= from the above reactions on the surface of the CaO and CaCO3 particles.

Fourier transform photoacoustic and diffuse reflectance spectroscopies (FT-IR-PAS and -DRS) have been used in situ to monitor the reaction of SO2 (1.5% in N2) with particulate CaCO3 at temperatures up to 400°C (PAS) and 690°C (DRS). The PA spectra indicate that at 360°C SO2 is physisorbed on the CaCO3 surface. This species is readily desorbed by N2 purging. Under continuous SO2/N2 exposure at 400°C and above, the physisorbed species is shown by the DR data to be converted first to oxygen-bound and then to nonspecifically bound pyramidal SO3−. Reaction of the SO3= with SO2 to form SO4− begins at 400°C and is essentially complete at 690°C. The DR data further indicate that for the SO4−: (1) at temperatures between 400 and 640°C a monodentate C3 v species forms; (2) above 640°C the SO4− ion has nearly Td symmetry; and (3) upon subsequent cooling, the SO4− exhibits the characteristics of a chelating C2 v species.

Infrared Photoacoustic Spectroscopy

The potential of Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy (FT-IR/PAS) for examination of food and the package was demonstrated. Full-fat cheddar cheese slices wrapped in polymer package were chosen as the food sample for analysis. Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) in conjunction with the step-scan and digital signal processing (DSP) function was used to perform depth-profiling studies of the intact sample and package. Well-separated PAS bands of fat and protein were obtained in the spectra of cheddar cheese samples with minimum sample preparation. Cheese samples were kept in a dessicator overnight to minimize the effect of moisture on the PAS spectra. Depth profiling study of the cheese polymer package indicated that there is a diffusion of cheese components into the package during storage.

Infrared Photoacoustic Spectroscopy

A multidisciplinary approach is demonstrated to elucidate coal weathering at a molecular level. Fourier Transform Infrared Photoacoustic Spectroscopy (FT-IR/PAS) provides a technique for a compositional depth profile of coal by simply varying the modulation frequency (mirror velocity) of the light impinging upon the solid surface. In order that the potential of this technique in this field could be evaluated, large-sized coal samples were examined. The PA difference spectra obtained from the spectra taken at different modulation frequencies (i.e., different depths), on a sample aged in air, demonstrate the appearance of negative features in the CH infrared absorption which are indicative of a coal alteration. Therefore, different coal layers can be distinguished by FT-IR/PAS. The application of the same technique to the study of a coal sample heated in air at 200°C allows the detection of different oxidation mechanisms operating inside and outside the coal. Although quantitative results are difficult to obtain, the technique can be successfully proposed for a qualitative description of coal weathering.

Infrared Photoacoustic Spectroscopy

Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic (FT-IR-PA) spectroscopy has been used to obtain the first published infrared spectrum of a heavily n-doped polyacetylene. Comparisons are made with the FT-IR-PA spectrum of undoped polyacetylene. All the infrared peaks in the FT-IR-PA spectrum of undoped polyacetylene agree in wavelength to ±10 cm−1 with transmission infrared peaks previously assigned by Shirakawa and Ikeda. Spectral shifts and intensity differences between the n-doped and undoped polyacetylene are similar to changes noted previously in the infrared spectra of p-doped polyacetylenes.
