On the orientational relaxation of HDO in liquid water

We use femtosecond mid-infrared pump-probe spectroscopy to study the orientational relaxation of HDO molecules dissolved in H2O. In order to obtain a reliable anisotropy decay we model the effects of heating and correct for these effects. We have measured the reorientation time constant of the OD vibration from 2430 to 2600 cm(-1), and observe a value of 2.5 ps that shows no variation over this frequency interval. Our results are discussed in the context of previous experiments that have been performed on the complementary system of HDO dissolved in D2O.     

Structure of water incorporated in sulfobetaine polymer films as studied by ATR-FTIR

The structure and hydrogen bonding of water in the vicinity of a thin film of a sulfobetaine copolymer (poly[(N,N-dimethyl-N-(3-sulfopropyl)-3'-methacrylamidopropanaminium inner salt)-ran-(butyl methacrylate)], poly(SPB-r-BMA)), were analyzed with band shapes of O-H stretching of attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) spectra. The copolymer could be cast as a thin film, of approximate thickness 10 microm, on a ZnSe crystal for the ATR-IR spectroscopy. At an early stage of sorption of water into the polymer film, the O-H stretching band of the IR spectra for the water incorporated in the film was similar to that for free water. This is consistent with the tendency for another zwitterionic polymeric material, poly[(2-methacryloyloxyethylphosphorylcholine)-ran-(butyl methacrylate)] (poly(MPC-r-BMA). It is, however, contradictory to the drastic change in the O-H stretching band for water incorporated into films of polymers such as poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), poly(methyl methacrylate) and poly(butyl methacrylate). These results suggest that polymers with a zwitterionic structure do not significantly disturb the hydrogen bonding between water molecules incorporated in the thin films. The investigation into the blood-compatibility of both the poly(SPB-r-BMA) and the poly(MPC-r-BMA) films indicate a definite correlation between the blood-compatibility of the polymers and the lack of effect of the polymeric materials on the structure of the incorporated water.     

ATR-FTIR法在皮革产品中的应用

目前市售皮革分为动物皮革和人造革两类.皮革是动物皮经加工后制成,具有动物皮肤特点.人造革也称假皮革是指合成革或外观貌似真皮实际上由化工原料人工合成的产品,其本身不是动物皮.怎样鉴别真皮与人造革方法有很多,如手摸法、眼看毛孔花纹等.在日常消费中,由于市场上有的皮革产品在生产过程中在表面涂了一层有机材料以及其它处理,普通消费者单凭借手感和经验目测来判断,往往不容易辨别真假.随着人们消费皮革制品的需求增加以及市售皮革制品.在有大量难辨真伪的仿皮革的人造革制品,因此鉴别各行业中的皮革受到越来越多的关注.本文运用ATR-FTIR技术对皮革材料的结构成分进行分析,依据不同物质所得到的谱图不同,就能准确、快速地分辨真皮革和人造革.     

Dispersion of the Raman depolarization ratio of HDO in water and heavy water from 295 to 368 K, and from concentrated NaClO4D2OH2O

The dispersion of the Raman depolarization ratio rho(L) was measured for HDO in H(2)O and in D(2)O. rho(L) for the decoupled OD stretch displays a maximum at 2575 +/- 15 cm(-1) at 296 K and a minimum at 2675 +/- 15 cm(-1), in agreement with the isosbestic point 2570 +/- 10 cm(-1), and the enthalpy dispersion maximum, 2650-2675 cm(-1), respectively. However, three extrema were uncovered in rho(L) for the OH stretch of HDO in D(2)O, and their positions agree with the frequencies of a minimum and a maximum in the enthalpy dispersion and with the isosbestic frequency. The frequency of the rho(L) maximum (OH stretch) lies just above the frequency corresponding to the joint angle-frequency probability maximum. [Lawrence and Skinner, J. Chem. Phys. 118, 264 (2003)]. The low- and high-frequency minima in rho(L) (OH stretch), correspond, respectively, to very strong H-bonds, and extremely weak, long, bent H bonds. The frequencies of the maxima and minima in rho(L) for the decoupled OH and OD stretches are independent of temperature within experimental error between 295 and 368 K. rho(L) was also measured for the OD stretch from saturated NaClO(4) in D(2)OH(2)O; it displays a maximum at 2560 +/- 20 cm(-1) and a sharp minimum at 2650 +/- 5 cm(-1). The shape of the dispersion of (betaalpha)(2) approximately rho(L) for HDO in D(2)O was calculated with the aid of the molecular dynamics results of Lawrence and Skinner. beta(2) is the anisotropic polarizability and alpha is the isotropic polarizability. A maximum resulted in the calculated dispersion at 3400 +/- 10 cm(-1), in excellent agreement with the measured maximum of 3395 +/- 15 cm(-1). The H-bond angles decrease far below 180 degrees as the OH-stretching frequency increases to 3700 cm(-1) and above. Such small H-bond angles, and very large O-O distances, are tantamount to broken H-bonds and are thought to produce the minimum in rho(L) near 2650 cm(-1).     

Thermogravimetric analysis of plant water content in relation with heavy metal stress

We have used simultaneous thermogravimetry & differential scanning calorimetry (TG/DSC) to estimate water content of wheat plants exposed to toxic concentration of copper and cadmium. Our study revealed that water content tends to decrease along with the increase of the exogenous heavy metal supply. These data suggested a different status of water: on the one hand, form an organ to another, and on the other hand, in stressed plants compared with control plants. The observed differences could be correlated with reshaping processes induced by heavy metal stress, especially at cell wall level. Accumulation of fibrous constituents having important properties like ion binding and water-holding capacity, may affect water distribution and interactions. TG/DSC appears as a promising technique for revealing certain aspects of stress biochemistry and physiology in plants.     

Simultaneous determination of three surfactants and water in shampoo and liquid soap by ATR-FTIR

It is demonstrated for the first time that the principal constituents of a shampoo as well as of a liquid soap -three surfactants and water- can be determined directly, simultaneously and quickly in undiluted samples by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy in the middle infrared region, despite the broad absorption bands of the solvent. Two of the surfactants, sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) and cocoamidopropyl betaine (CAPB), are common to both formulations; alkylpolyglucoside (APG) is the third surfactant of the liquid soap and cocodiethanolamide (CDEA), the corresponding ingredient of the shampoo. Absorbance data of the undiluted samples and of the calibration standards was collected in the middle infrared region of the spectrum (800-1600 and 1900-3000 cm⁻¹). Two methods of multivariate quantification were compared: classical least squares (CLS), where absorbance data measured at 200 wavenumbers was processed, and inverse least squares (ILS), where data at 10 selected wavenumbers was analyzed. A spectra normalization procedure, based on a dominating water band, was examined. Twenty-seven standard mixtures were used for each application, consisting of all combinations at three concentration levels of each surfactant, respectively the lower limit, the expected value and the upper limit accepted in quality control. By favoring wavenumbers where absorption bands of the minor components (APG in the liquid soap and CDEA in the shampoo) are more intense, good results were obtained for 18 simulated samples of shampoo and 18 samples of liquid soap, no matter if calculations were made by CLS or ILS. The relative errors for water (major component, 84-88%) and SLES (7-10%) were always below 2%; for CAPB (2-4%), APG (<2%) and CDEA (<2%), they occasionally reached 5% of the component, an uncertainty of less than 0.07% in terms of the sample weight.     

ATR-FTIR observations of water structure in colloidal silica: implications for the hydration force mechanism

Attenuated total internal reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) was used to probe the change in water structure in silica colloids as a function of particle density. The absorption index (k) spectra were calculated from the ATR spectra using the subtractive Kramers-Kronig transform in order to avoid the effects of the density-dependent refractive index on the raw spectra and allow direct comparison of the different chemical environments. Normalized difference spectra were obtained by subtracting the k spectrum of bulk water from those of the silica colloids. At low particle densities, these difference spectra reveal the presence of a strongly hydrogen-bonded hydration layer at the surface of the colloidal particles. At higher particle densities, the hydrogen-bonding network is increasingly disrupted. The results provide direct experimental evidence of hydrogen-bond breaking as the mechanism for the hydration force, which provides the extraordinary stability of colloidal silica.

Detection of molecular processes in the intact retina by ATR-FTIR spectromicroscopy

We used Fourier transform infrared spectromicroscopy in the attenuated total reflection configuration to study biochemical events associated with the response to light of an intact retina. We show that the technique is suitable for the detection in real time of molecular processes occurring in rod outer segments induced by light absorption. Two-dimensional correlation analysis was applied to the identification and interpretation of specific spectral changes associated to the evolution of the system. The technique allows us to observe an extensive protein translocation, which we interpret as arising from the release of transducin from the disk membrane and its redistribution from the outer segment towards the inner segment of rod cells. These results are in full agreement with our current understanding of retinal physiology and validate the technique as a useful tool for the study of complex molecular processes in intact tissue.

Determination of deuterium in heavy water by secondary deuteron activation

The deuterium concentration of heavy water was determined by utilizing recoiling deuterium nuclei from n-d collisions to induce the reaction (16)O(d, n)(17)F. The internal ratio of 66-sec fluorine-17 to 7.35-sec nitrogen-16 activity, formed by the reaction (16)O(n, p), (16)N, was found to vary linearly with deuterium concentration. When such an internal ratio of activities is measured, the neutron flux and sample weight need not be known. Deuterium was determined over the range from 2.6 to 94.5 atom %, with a relative standard deviation of 2.8%. The effect of sample size was investigated and it was found that the relative amount of fluorine-17 activity formed became less as sample size decreased, due to the loss of recoiling deuterons from the sample. A simple relationship to account for this effect was obtained.

An ATR-FTIR spectroscopic approach for measuring rapid kinetics at the mineral/water interface

This study presents a methodology for studying rapid kinetic reactions for IR active compounds. In soils, sediments, and groundwater systems a rapid initial chemical reaction can comprise a substantial portion of the total reaction process at the mineral/water interface. Rapid-scan attenuated total reflectance (ATR) Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is presented here as a new method for collecting rapid in situ kinetic data. As an example of its application, the initial oxidation of arsenite (As III) via Mn-oxides is examined. Using a rapid-scan technique, IR spectra were collected with a time resolution of up to 2.55 s (24 scans, 8 cm(-1) resolution). Through observation and analysis of IR bands corresponding to arsenate (AsV), rapid chemically-controlled As III oxidation is observed (initial pH 6-9) with 50% of the reaction occurring within the first one min. The oxidation of As III is followed by rapid binding of AsV to HMO, at least in part, through surface bound Mn II. The experimental data indicate that rapid-scan FTIR is an effective technique for acquisition of kinetic data, providing molecular scale information for rapid reactions at the solid/liquid interface.     

On-stream measurement of heavy water concentration by intermediate neutron moderation

A method of measuring heavy water concentration is described based on intermediate neutron moderation. With a 1.6 g²⁵²Cf neutron source and a BF₃ proportional counter, for 500 ml samples, accuracies of the measurements are within ±0.02 mol% in the concentration range of 0100 mol% with 210 minute counting. To evaluate the practical effectiveness of the method, a model apparatus was built for routine use in laboratory and on-stream measurements. It was successfully applied to observe the substitution process between light water and heavy water in an ion exchange resin tower at a nuclear power station.     

Determination of some heavy metals in sea water by atomic absorption spectrophotometry

Summary Direct determination of trace metals in sea water by flame atomic absorption technique suffers from serious interferences caused by the high salt content. Separation of the metals from the matrix has been effected by chelation and extraction with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate and methyl-isobutyl-ketone. Besides a separation preconcentration and increased sensitivity is achieved with this extraction. Organic substances and metal-organic complexes are destroyed with UV-radiation before extraction is carried out. Flameless atomic absorption has been tried using the Heated Graphite Furnace combined with a) a selective volatilization procedure, b) removing of sodium from the samples using hydrated antimon pentoxide (HAP). Both methods were used to remove the interfering substances (mainly sodium salt). All the techniques have been compared by analysing the same sea water samples, some of which were also analysed by other laboratories.

Bestimmung einiger Schwermetalle in Meereswasser durch Atomabsorptions-Spektralphotometrie

Zusammenfassung Die direkte Bestimmung der Spurenmetalle in Meereswasser durch Flammen-Atomabsorption wird durch den hohen Salzgehalt behindert. Die Abtrennung der Metalle von der Matrix wurde durch Komplexierung und Extraktion mit Ammoniumpyrrolidindithiocarbamat und Methylisobutylketon erreicht, wodurch außerdem eine Anreicherung und Steigerung der Empfindlichkeit erzielt wird. Organische Substanzen und metallorganische Komplexe können durch UV-Bestrahlung vor der Extraktion zerstört werden. Die flammenlose Technik mit Hilfe des erhitzten Graphitrohres wurde in Kombination mit a) einer selektiven Verdampfungsmethode und b) der Entfernung des Natriums mit hydratisiertem Antimonpentoxid eingesetzt. Alle Verfahren wurden an Hand der gleichen Wasserproben verglichen. Tests wurden auch von anderen Laboratorien durchgeführt.
