Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy Analysis of Transformer Paper in Mineral Oil-Paper Composite Insulation under Accelerated Thermal Aging

Crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) cable has been widely used and studied with its specific failure mechanism. Among them, although thermal aging of XLPE insulation materials has been widely studied, the effect of accelerated thermal aging on the sulfur corrosion of XLPE cable has not been studied much. For further understand the mechanism of sulfur corrosion, the accelerated thermal aging method was taken with 200 mg/kg DBDS based on the distinguish of temperature. The macro and micro analysis contrast test before and after corrosion were also taken to investigate the morphology difference, the element distribution, the influence of thermal aging and DBDS addition the corrosion of copper core, and the assessment of insulation layer was also carried out by Fourier transform infrared spectra and spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy to distinguish the microstructure and composition. Under the accelerated thermal aging experiment with DBDS, both copper core and insulation layer of sample No. 1 exhibit the most serious corrosion and aging condition. On the surface of the copper core, the DBDS-Cu complexes decompose to produce Cu2S and the temperature has a direct effect on this reaction. The insulation layer of sample No. 1 showed the most severe aging situation, with characteristic peaks of carbonyl appearing at 1720 cm-1 in the Fourier transform infrared tests and more defects, holes and cracks found in spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy images.

The Fourier Transform

Biofuel plays a major role in IC engine nowadays. Used Ayurvedic Oil (UAO) is one among the alternative fuels utilized. The preliminary property studies were carried out and the UAO had undergone simple Transesterification process to be converted to Used Ayurvedic Oil Methyl Ester (UAOME). The Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis confirmed the UAO to UAOME conversion. The Trobological investigation on UAOME is also conducted using Four Ball Wear Tester. The results showed that lower wear scar was observed in UAOME comparatively with diesel. From the results it is clear that the UAO can be a novel partial substitute for diesel fuel.

No Absorption

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis of SCS-6 silicon carbide fibers was performed to detect the presence of oxygen in the form of SiO2. The results showed infrared peaks corresponding to SiC fundamental lattice absorption as well as reflection. No absorption peak due to SiO2 was observed. These results are in agreement with previously reported data indicating low levels of oxygen in this fiber.

Non Destructive

The most important task in a criminal investigation is to detect and identify the recovered biological stains beyond reasonable scientific doubt and preserve the sample for further DNA analysis. In the light of this fact, many presumptive and confirmatory tests are routinely employed in the forensic laboratories to determine the type of body fluid. However, the currently used techniques are specific to one type of body fluid and hence it cannot be utilized to differentiate multiple body fluids. Moreover, these tests consume the samples in due process, and thus it becomes a great limitation especially considering the fact that samples are recovered in minute quantity in forensic cases. Therefore, such limitations necessitate the use of non-destructive techniques that can be applied simultaneously to all types of bodily fluids and allow sample preservation for further analysis. In the current work, attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy has been used to circumvent the aforementioned limitations. The important factors which could influence the detection of blood such as the effect of substrates, washing/chemical treatment, ageing, and dilution limits on the analysis of blood have been analysed. In addition, blood discrimination from non-blood substance (biological and non-biological in nature) has also been studied. Chemometric technique that is PCA–LDA has been used to discriminate blood from other body fluids and it resulted in 100% accurate classification. Furthermore, blood and non-blood substances including fake blood have also been classified into separate clusters with a 100% accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. All-inclusive, this preliminary study substantiates the potential application of ATR-FTIR spectroscopy for the non-destructive identification of blood traces in simulated forensic casework conditions with 0% rate of false classification.
