Organosilanes in wood protection – chemical analysis of wood and cellulose treated with MTMOS. The paper presents the results of methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMOS) reactivity with Scots pine wood and cellulose. The lignocellulosic material after treatment with ethanolic solution of MTMOS was analysed using instrumental methods – atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The analysis of silicon concentration in treated material indicated the presence of silane in structure of wood and cellulose. The bands characteristic of vibrations of the silicon-carbon and silicon-oxygen originating from MTMOS molecule were observed in the spectra of modified materials, which confirmed the reactivity of silane with wood and cellulose. Moreover, the chemical analysis indicated that MTMOS exhibited higher reactivity to cellulose than to pine wood.

Reactivity of (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane with cellulose. The paper presents the results of tests for the reactivity of (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (APTMOS) with cellulose. The cellulose was treated with aqueous ethanolic solution of silane in two concentration: 5% and 20%. The reactivity of APTMOS with cellulose was analysed using instrumental methods: attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectrometry and elemental analysis. In the FTIR spectra of silane-treated cellulose, the bands of Si-O, Si-C and N-H bonds were detected. The analysis of silicon and nitrogen concentration in treated cellulose confirmed the presence of silane in cellulose structure. The presented results indicate that APTMOS forms chemical bonds with cellulose.

A reaction of [3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane with wood and cellulose – chemical analyses. The paper presents tests results for [3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane (AATMOS) reactivity with cellulose and Scots pine wood. The tested material was treated with ethanolic solution of aminosilane and analyzed using instrumental methods, including elemental analysis, atomic absorption spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy. The results of the chemical analysis indicated that [3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane exhibited reactivity with both cellulose and pine wood. In addition, AATMOS-treated cellulose showed a higher content of silicon and nitrogen and more significant changes in FTIR spectra than the treated wood, suggesting that AATMOS showed a higher reactivity to cellulose than to wood.

Mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy in attenuated total reflectance (ATR) mode was used for quantifying ethanol, sucrose, and tartaric acid in alcoholic beverages. One hundred synthetic samples were prepared with different ethanol, sucrose, and tartaric acid concentrations. Experiments were carried out on Bio-Rad 175 C FTS using an ATR accessory. Spectra were recorded in the wavelength region 600–4000cm−1. Calibration was performed using partial least squares (PLS) algorithm. Commercially available alcoholic beverages (gin, rum, vodka, etc.) were experimented and concentration of ethanol in these samples was predicted using the developed calibration model. Chemical analysis of these commercial samples was carried out in order to compare the results. The agreement between ATR results with those of chemical analysis revealed good reliability and repeatability of the technique used.

Analysis of natural product remain challenging issues for analytical chemist, since natural products are complicated system of mixture. The most popular methods of choice used for quality control of raw material and finished product are high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS). The utilization of FTIR-ATR (Fourier Transform Infrared-Attenuated Total Reflectance) method in natural product analysis is still limited. This study attempts to expand the use of FTIR spectroscopy in authenticating Indonesian coffee powder.The coffee samples studied were taken from nine regions in Indonesia, namely Aceh Gayo, Flores, Kintamani, Mandheling, Papua, Sidikalang, Toraja, Kerinci and Lampung.The samples in the form of coffee bean from various regions were powdered . The next step conducted was to determine the spectrum using the FTIR-ATR (Attenuated Total Reflectance) using ZnSe crystal of 8000 resolution. Spectrum samples, then, were analyzed using chemometrics. The utilized chemometric model was the principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA). Based on the chemometric analysis, there are similarities between Aceh Gayo coffee with Toraja coffee, Mandailing coffee, Kintamani coffee and Flores coffee. Sidikalang coffee has a similarity to Flores coffee; Papua coffee has a similarity to Sidikalang coffee; Lampung coffee has a similarity to Sidikalang coffee, while Kerinci coffee has a similarity to Papua coffee.
