UV–Vis Spectrometers01:14

UV–Vis Spectrometers

3.9K
The absorbance of UV and visible (UV–visible) radiations is measured using a UV–visible spectrophotometer. Deuterium lamps, which emit UV radiation, and tungsten lamps, which produce radiation in the visible region, are used as light sources in UV–visible spectrophotometers. A monochromator or prism is used for diffraction grating, i.e., to split the incoming radiation into different wavelengths. A system of slits is used to focus the desired wavelength on the sample cell.

Chemical Shift: Internal References and Solvent Effects

1.4K
In an NMR sample, precise measurement of the absolute absorption frequencies of nuclei is difficult. A standard internal reference compound is added, and the frequency difference between the reference signal and sample signals is measured.
The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Interference01:25

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Interference

2.1K
Interference leads to systematic error in atomic absorption (AA) measurements by enhancing or diminishing the analytical signal or the background. These interferences can be grouped into three main categories: spectral interference, chemical interference, and physical interference.
Spectral interference occurs when signals from other elements or molecules overlap with the analyte signal, falsely elevating or masking the analyte's absorbance. This interference can be corrected using Zeeman,...

NMR Spectroscopy: Chemical Shift Overview

3.4K
The position of the absorption signal of a sample is reported relative to the position of the signal of tetramethylsilane (TMS), which is added as an internal reference while recording spectra. The difference between the absorption frequencies of the sample and TMS (in Hz) is divided by the spectrometer operating frequency (in MHz) to obtain a dimensionless quantity called the chemical shift. It is reported on the δ (delta) scale and expressed in parts per million.
For instance, the proton...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Lab

1.1K
For AAS measurements, samples must be introduced as clear solutions, often requiring extensive preliminary treatment to dissolve materials like soils, animal tissues, and minerals. Common methods for sample preparation include treatment with hot mineral acids, wet ashing, combustion in closed containers, high-temperature ashing, or fusion with reagents.
 Solutions containing organic solvents, such as low-molecular-mass alcohols, esters, or ketones, enhance absorbances by increasing...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

1.8K
An atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) comprises several components: a radiation source, an atomizer, a monochromator, and a detector. The radiation source can be a hollow-cathode lamp (HCL) or an electrodeless-discharge lamp (EDL), both of which provide a narrow emission line of the required wavelength. However, some instruments use continuum sources and high-resolution monochromators to achieve a narrow range of radiation.
The atomizer used in AAS can be either a flame atomizer or an...

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Conventional absorption spectroscopy (CAS) has limited capacity for detecting high concentrations of analytes due to large molar absorption coefficients.
  • Monitoring concentrated analytes in industrial settings like plating baths requires advanced spectroscopic techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate a novel method, sideband differential absorption spectroscopy (SDAS), for the accurate quantification of high analyte concentrations.
  • To demonstrate the applicability of SDAS for industrial monitoring.

Main Methods:

  • SDAS was developed by subtracting the absorption spectrum of a sample from that of a more concentrated reference standard.
  • The method generates concave spectra with peaks at the sidebands of conventional spectra, featuring low molar absorption coefficients.
  • Lambert-Beer's law was verified for negative absorbance changes versus sample concentration.

Main Results:

  • SDAS effectively quantifies high concentrations of analytes, overcoming limitations of CAS.
  • The method produced linear responses of negative absorbance with concentration at specific wavelengths.
  • SDAS was successfully validated using inorganic (potassium chromate) and organic (rhodamine B, paracetamol) substances.

Conclusions:

  • SDAS offers a robust and sensitive method for monitoring high concentrations of analytes in industrial applications.
  • The technique provides a linear relationship between absorbance and concentration, adhering to Lambert-Beer's law.
  • SDAS demonstrates broad applicability for diverse chemical species in complex matrices.
