Investigation of the Interaction of Quartz with Hydrogen under Supply of Mechanical Energy (II) Investigation by IR Spectroscopy

Infrared investigations demonstrate a chemical interaction of quartz in hydrogen atmosphere during mechanical activation: By means of the SiH stretching band the number of formed SiH-groups is estimated as a function of the period of activation. of activation. This number is more than one order of magnitude less than the total number of adsorbed molecules.
