The Fourier Transform

The search for antimicrobial drug of high bio-efficacy not prone to multiple microbial resistance has been on the rise in recent time. This study focused on the preparation, characterization and antimicrobial evaluation of Schiff functionalized HNO3 activated plantain peel and rice husk biochar against five pathogenic bacteria. The activated rice husk and plantain peel biochar were characterized using Braunauer-Emmett-Teller, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy. Based on the result, the activated rice husk and plantain peel biochar were amorphous and crystalline respectively with pore surface area and pore size for activated rice husk and plantain peel biochar as 9.369 and 27.32 (m2.g-1) and 8.790 and 16.65 (cc.g-1), respectively. The Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy result indicated bonds, such as –OH, C=O and –N-H, where actual chelation and electrostatic attraction mechanism are prevalent responsible for antimicrobial potency. The cell bioactivity was hampered due to permeation of the biocidal agents, cell membrane disruption and generation of reactive oxygen species enhanced by conjugation of Schiff base based biochar to the microbial cell wall leading to death of microbes. The ease of Schiff base release and reusability of the nanocomposite favors the product as an efficient, low cost, effective and promising nanocomposite for decontamination of bacteria infested media.

Partikel nano TiO2 berbasis air dengan pH basa telah berhasil disintesis dengan menggunakan metode sol-gel dan diimobilisasi pada kain kapas dengan menggunakan kitosan sebagai zat pengikat silang. Sintesis dilakukan  dengan prekursor TiCl4 pada konsentrasi 0,3 M, 0,5 M dan 1 M, dan menggunakan templat kanji dengan proses kalsinasi pada suhu 500˚C selama 2 jam. Partikel nano TiO2 diaplikasikan ke kain kapas dengan metoda pad-dry-cure dan menggunakan kitosan sebagai crosslinking agent. Berdasarkan hasil Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM),diketahui bahwa morfologi partikel TiO2 berbentuk spherical dengan ukuran nano (kurang dari 100 nm). Karakterisasi X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) menunjukkan adanya tiga tipe struktur kristal utama, yaitu (100), (101) dan (102) dengan fasa kristal yang terbentuk adalah anatase dan rutile. Pada karakterisasi menggunakan SEM terhadap serbuk dari TiO2 yang telah diaplikasikan ke permukaan kain kapas, terlihat adanya imobilisasi partikel nano TiO2 melalui ikatan hidrogen silang dengan kitosan pada kain kapas. Hasil analisa tersebut kemudian dikonfirmasi dengan FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra Red) yang hasilnya memperlihatkan puncak serapan pada bilangan gelombang 3495 cm-1, 2546 cm-1, dan 511 cm-1,  yang masing-masing diasumsikan sebagai adanya vibrasi gugus fungsi O-H, N-H dan Ti-O-Ti. Hasil SEM menunjukkan pula bahwa kristal nano yang terbentuk diantaranya adalah fasa rutile , yang berdasarkan literatur terbukti dapatberfungsi sebagai anti UV.

<p>Komposit forsterit-karbon merupakan salah satu material modifikasi dari forsterit yang berpotensi memiliki sifat isolator panas baik. Karbon dalam komposit dapat mengisi cacat titik pada kristal forsterit. Arang sekam padi (residu gasifikasi) mengandung SiO2 amorf dan karbon yang tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan pengaruh suhu kalsinasi dalam medium gas inert (dengan pengaliran gas argon) terhadap karakteristik komposit forsterit-karbon dari arang sekam padi dan magnesium karbonat. Metode penelitian meliputi preparasi arang sekam padi hasil gasifikasi, dan sintesis forsterit-karbon. Proses sintesis komposit forsterit karbon dilakukan dengan cara mencampurkan arang sekam padi dengan kalium karbonat pada rasio mol magmesium terhadap silikon sebesar 2 : 1 kemudian dikalsinasi dengan suhu divariasikan (700, 800, 900, dan 1000 oC). Selanjutnya sampel hasil sintesis dikarakterisasi dengan Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), dan scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). Hasil karakterisasi dengan FTIR dan XRD diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa forsterit mulai terbentuk pada suhu kalisiasi 800 oC dan sempurna pada suhu 1000 oC, karenanya komposit yang terbentuk pada 1000 oC dimungkinkan sebagai forsterit-karbon, di mana unsur-unsur yang terkandung ditunjukkan oleh SEM-EDS.</p><p> </p><p><strong>The Effect of Calcination Temperature on the Characteristics of Forsterite-Carbon Composites Synthesized in Argon Gas Medium</strong>. Forsterite-carbon composite is one of the material modifications of forsterite, which potentially has a good heat insulation property. Carbon in composites can fill point defects in forsterite crystals. Rice husk charcoal, as gasification residues, contains high amorphous SiO2 and carbon. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature on the calcination of a mixture of rice husk charcoal and magnesium carbonate under an inert gas (argon gas) on the characteristics of the forsterite-carbon composite produced. The experimental research performed includes the preparation of gasified rice husk charcoal and the synthesis of the carbon-forsterite composite. The synthesis process of the carbon-forsterite composites was carried out by mixing rice husk charcoal with potassium carbonate at a mole ratio of magnesium to silicon of 2 : 1. The mixture was then calcined with varying temperatures (700, 800, 900, and 1000 °C). Furthermore, the synthesized sample was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The FTIR and XRD analysis show that the forsterites began to form at a calcination temperature of 800 °C and perfectly formed at a temperature of 1000 °C; therefore, the composite formed at 1000 °C is possible as forsterite-carbon, in which the contained elements were indicated by SEM-EDS.</p>

AbstractAn interstratified clay mineral from Surges Bay, Tasmania, described by Cole & Carthew (1953) as containing a random stacking of illite and montmorillonite in the ratio of 3:2 and a regular stacking of illite and montmorillonite in the ratio of 1 : 1 is re-examined, after purification, and a new interpretation is made of the X-ray diffraction effects in terms of a single complex stacking model. The Fourier transform method of analysis used with an appropriate layer structure factor shows that the interstratification is produced by a three component stacking of 18% single mica layers (A), 10% double mica layers (ĀĀ) and 72% allevardite-like layers (ĀB̄) in which the A and ĀĀ layers are never together. This leads to the conclusion that the near regular interstratification of the mineral is due to structural and/or compositional variation from layer to layer within the parent crystals as suggested by Sudo, Hayashi & Shimoda (1962) to explain similar mineral types occurring in Japan.

AbstractFourier transform methods of smoothing and interpolation are applied to X-ray diffraction data. It is shown that, frequently, too small a step size is used. Major gains are to be expected by selection of the optimum step size and use of these methods.A comparison of Fourier transforms of diffractograms of quartz measured between 67 and 69° 2θ, collected at varying step intervals (0.1 to 0.01° 2θ) was used to illustrate these applications. By examining the Fourier transform of the diffractogram and noting where it decays to die baseline, a reasonable estimate of the optimal step interval can be obtained. In addition, Fourier interpolation can be used to enhance the appearance of the diffractogram, approximating a continuous plot.

A new approach of X-ray diffraction was used to investigate the nanostructured μ-Oxo(2) polymorph of μ-oxo-bis(phthalocyaninatoiron(III)), [ PcFe – O – FePc ]. The packing of the dinuclear units was determined by the Rietveld method on Angular Dispersive X-ray Diffraction (ADXD) data, whereas the intramolecular geometry was optimized by Energy Dispersive X-ray Diffraction (EDXD) exploiting the peculiar strength of those techniques. The dimension of the nanoparticles was estimated from the Fourier transform of the EDXD experimental structural function.

Triacetin, an alternative biodiesel additive, was prepared by esterification of glycerol with acetic acid in the presence of chemically activated natural zeolite. The esterification was carried out in a small reaction flask under microwave irradiation. The catalyst was characterized for its morphology by SEM and its chemical composition by X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) micrograph indicates improved surface area of the zeolite, while the XRD analysis shows an increase in Si/Al ratio from natural zeolite to 6.042 and its crystallinity value of 12.23%. The Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) analysis obtained showed that microwave-heated samples have an esters group spectrum of triacetin at 1702 cm-1. The conversion value of glycerol was more than 95% at molar ratio of the reactants 1:9 and catalyst loading of 3%. The selectivities for monoacetin, diacetin and triacetin were 80.1%, 15.4%, and 4.5% at 60 minutes, and 43.0%, 48.6%, and 8.3% at 90 minutes. It shows that the conversion took place in consecutive steps and the use of microwave allows the reaction proceeding at milder condition. Copyright © 2019 BCREC Group. All rights reserved

Telah dilakukan sintesis fotokatalis N/TiO2 bermofologi nanotube dengan metode anodisasi  menggunakan ammonium nitrat (NH4NO3) sebagai sumber dopan pada berbagai variasi konsentrasi (0,5M , 1M, 2M), dilanjutkan dengan kalisinasi pada suhu 4500C selama 2 jam untuk mendapatkan fasa kristal anatase. Karakterisasi dilakukan menggunakan Scanning Electron Miscroscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infra Red (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), dan DRS (Diffused Reflectant Spectrometry) UV-Vis. Pengujian Linear Sweep Voltametri dan Multi Pulse Anperiometri pada fotokatalis­ N/TiO2 telah berhasil diterapkan untuk degradasi senyawa Rhodamin B menggunakan sinar UV maupun sinar tampak. Aplikasi dari uji fotoelektrokatalisis menggunakan sinar tampak untuk N/TiO2-NT memberikan hasil eliminasi sebesar 47,86%, sedangkan bila menggunakan TiO2 nanotube tanpa dopan eleminasi hanya sebesar 25,49%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa proses doping yang dilakukan telah berhasil menyisipkan nitrogen kedalam matrik TiO2 nanotube dan memperbaiki kinerja fotokatalisis nya di daerah sinar tampak.
