Nicolet 670 FTIR傅里叶变换红外光谱操作使用说明书注意事项:1.保持测试环境的干燥和清洁。
2.不可在计算机上进行与实验无关的操作。
3.拷贝数据请使用新软盘。
4.认真填写实验记录、红外光谱基本原理红外光谱(Infrared Spectrometry IR)又称为振动转动光谱,是一种分子吸收光谱。
当分子受到红外光的辐射,产生振动能级(同时伴随转动能级)的跃迁,在振动(转动) 时伴有偶极矩改变者就吸收红外光子,形成红外吸收光谱。
用红外光谱法可进行物质的定性和定量分析(以定性分析为主),从分子的特征吸收可以鉴定化合物的分子结构。
傅里叶变换红外光谱仪(简称FTIR)和其它类型红外光谱仪一样,都是用来获得物质的红外吸收光谱,但测定原理有所不同。
在色散型红外光谱仪中,光源发出的光先照射试样,而后再经分光器(光栅或棱镜)分成单色光,由检测器检测后获得吸收光谱。
但在傅里叶变换红外光谱仪中,首先是把光源发出的光经迈克尔逊干涉仪变成干涉光,再让干涉光照射样品,经检测器获得干涉图,由计算机把干涉图进行傅里叶变换而得到吸收光谱。
红外光谱根据不同的波数范围分为近红外区( 13330-4000 cm-)、中红外区(4000-650 cm-)和远红外区(650-10 cm-)。
Nicolet 670 FTIR光谱仪提供中红外区的分测试。
、试样的制备1.对试样的要求(1)试样应是单一组分的纯物质;(2)试样中不应含有游离水;(3)试样的浓度或测试厚度应合适。
2 •制样方法(1)气态试样使用气体池,先将池内空气抽走,然后吸入待测气体试样。
(2)液体试样常用的方法有液膜法和液体池法。
液膜法:沸点较高的试样,可直接滴在两片KBr盐片之间形成液膜进行测试。
取两片KBr盐片,用丙酮棉花清洗其表面并晾干。
在一盐片上滴1滴试样,另一盐片压于其上,装入到可拆式液体样品测试架中进行测定。
扫描完毕,取出盐片,用丙酮棉花清洁干净后,放回保干器内保存。

That is, the gas absorbs some specific wavelengths of the infrared radiation. What happens is that the infrared radiation interacts with the gas molecules. The gas molecules get energy from the infrared radiation and start to vibrate or rotate with increasing amplitude. This energy transfer from the infrared radiation to the gas molecules can be seen as decreased intensity of some wavelengths of the transmitted infrared radiation. If the infrared source sends a broad band of wavelengths of infrared radiation through the sample, some of the wavelengths will be partly absorbed by the gas sample.Figure 1shows how a gas molecule may behave when it interacts with infrared radiation. All different vibrations, rotations, and their combinations result in absorption of specific wavelengthsof the infrared radiation.CONTRACTSTRETCHSTRETCHSTRETCH C OO C OO COOOO υ1υ2υ34Figure 1Normal modes of vibration of carbon dioxide CO 2.An absorption spectrum shows graphically to what extent the different wavelengths of the infrared radiation are absorbed by the sample gas. The spectrum shows the transmission of the infrared radiation through the gas as a function of wavelength. For each wavelength, thetransmittance T is the intensity of the infrared radiation that has passed through the sample gas, divided by the intensity of the infrared radiation that has entered the sample gas. When there is no absorption, the value of transmittance T is 1 (or 100 %), which indicates that 100 % of the infrared radiation at that wavelength goes through the sample gas. If the intensity of the radiation entering the sample is I 0 and the intensity of the radiation that has passed through the sample is I, the transmittance T can be expressed as:T I I =/0T transmittanceI =intensity entering the sample I =intensity that has passed through the sample0=Besides using transmittance T, the absorption of the infrared radiation can be presented using the absorbance scale. Absorbance A is given by the logarithm of the transmittance reciprocal: A T =log 10(/)1A absorbance T transmittance ==The advantage of using the absorbance scale is that the value of absorbance is directlyproportional to the thickness of the sample gas (absorption path length), and the concentration of the sample gas.The infrared absorption spectrum is unique to all different gas molecules. It is possible to identify any gas component from the spectrum of the sample. An example of infrared absorbance spectrum is shown in Figure 2.Figure 2 An absorbance spectrum of Sulfur dioxide SO2.2.2 Components of a Fourier Transform Infrared SpectrometerThere are some basic parts that are typical for all FT-IR spectrometers. First of all, there is an infrared source that emits a broad band of different wavelengths of infrared radiation. The infrared radiation goes through an interferometer that modulates the infrared radiation. The interferometer performs an optical inverse Fourier transform on the infrared radiation entering the interferometer. The modulated infrared beam passes through the gas sample. Finally, the intensity of the infrared beam is detected by a detector. The detected signal is digitized and Fourier transformed by the computer to get the IR-spectrum of the sample gas.Figure 3 Basic components of a FT-IR spectrometer.The unique part of a FT-IR spectrometer is the interferometer. A Michelson type plane mirror interferometer is displayed in Figure 4. Infrared radiation from the source is collected and collimated before it strikes the beamsplitter. The beamsplitter ideally transmits one half of the radiation, and reflects the other half. Both transmitted and reflected beams strike mirrors, which reflect the two beams back to the beamsplitter. Thus, one half of the infrared radiation that finallythen back to the beamsplitter. The other half of the infrared radiation going to the sample has first gone through the beamsplitter and then reflected from the fixed mirror back to the beamsplitter. When these two optical paths are reunited, interference occurs at the beamsplitter because of the optical path difference caused by the scanning of the moving mirror.Radiation to the sample gas and detector Moving mirrorFixed mirrorFigure 4 Michelson interferometer.The optical path length difference between the two optical paths of a Michelson interferometer is two times the displacement of the moving mirror. The interference signal measured by the detector as a function of the optical path length difference is called the interferogram. A typical interferogram produced by the interferometer is shown in Figure 5. The graph shows the intensity of the infrared radiation as a function of the displacement of the moving mirror. At the peak position, the optical path length is exactly the same for the radiation that comes from the moving mirror as it is for the radiation that comes from the fixed mirror.Figure 5 A typical intereferogram.The spectrum can be computed from the interferogram by performing a Fourier transform. The Fourier transform is performed by the same computer that ultimately performs the quantitative analysis of the spectrum.2.3 Quantitative Analysis of FT-IR SpectraThe basic law for spectroscopic quantitative analysis is Beer's law. Beer's law shows how the concentration of the sample gas is related to the measured absorbance of the sample spectrum. Beer's law is commonly expressed as:log(/)log(/)I I T A abc 01===I =intensity entering the sampleI =intensity that has passedthrough the sampleA absorbance T transmittancea a()absorptivityb optical path lengthc =sample concentration0=====vThe absorptivity a is a constant that characterizes the capacity of the molecule to absorb infrared radiation. The value of a varies from one molecule to another and one wavelength to another, but is constant for a given molecule at a given wavelength. The quantity b is the optical path length, that is, the distance the infrared radiation beam traverses in the gas sample. The quantity cindicates the concentration of the sample gas molecules in the sample. If the optical path length is held constant, Beer's law states that the absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration of the sample gas at a given wavelength. Since Beer's law is additive, absorbance A is equal to the sum of the values of the a , b , and c for each gas component.Two conditions are implied in the derivation of Beer's law. The radiation being measured is monochromatic, and the sample absorptivity does not vary with concentration. If the sample concentration range is wide, the change in the sample environment can cause absorptivitychanges and deviations from Beer's law. For narrow concentration ranges and for low absorbance values a plot of concentration versus absorbance is nearly linear.The changes in the gas pressure may cause broadening in the absorption line shape of the sample gas. The rotational fine structure of gas-phase bands are broadened by collisions between the molecules of the component being measured. All IR-bands are broadened.The changes in the gas temperature may cause 'hot bands' in the spectrum of the sample gas. As the temperature increases, the distribution of the molecules in different energy levels changes. The changes in the temperature cause changes in the absorption line shape of the sample gas. To analyze the concentration of a gas compound, the GASMET TM calculates the number of gas molecules in the sample cell. The number of the gas molecules in the sample cell depends linearly on both the gas pressure and the volume of the sample cell, and reciprocally on the gas temperature:pV nRT =p=pressureV=volumen=number of the gas moleculesT=temperatureR=Ideal gas constantAny changes in sample gas temperature or pressure in the sample cell directly affect on the measured gas compound concentration. In addition, gas pressure or temperature changes may effect the line shape of the measured absorbance spectrum, and thus the accuracy of the analysis results.2.4 Multicomponent AnalysisThe degree of absorption of infrared radiation at each wavelength is quantitatively related to the number of absorbing molecules in the sample gas. Since there is a linear relationship between the absorbance and the number of absorbing molecules, multicomponent quantitative analysis of gas mixtures is feasible.To perform multicomponent analysis we start with the sample spectrum. In addition, we need reference spectra of all the gas components that may exist in the sample, if these components are to be analyzed. A reference spectrum is a spectrum of one single gas component of specific concentration. In multicomponent analysis we try to combine these reference spectra with appropriate multipliers in order to get a spectrum that is as close as possible to the sample spectrum. If we succeed in forming a spectrum similar to the sample spectrum, we get the concentration of each gas component in the sample gas using the multipliers of the reference spectra, provided that we know the concentrations of the reference gases.For example, suppose we have a sample spectrum and reference spectra like those shown in Figure 6. In this case, we know that the sample gas consists of gases Reference 1 and Reference 2. We have the reference spectra available and we know that these reference spectra represent concentrations of 10 ppm and 8 ppm respectively. To find out the concentration of each component in the sample gas, we try to form the measured sample spectrum using a linear combination of the reference spectra. We find out that if we multiply the spectrum Reference 1 by 5 and the spectrum Reference 2 by 2, and combine these two spectra, we get a spectrum that is similar to the sample spectrum. Accordingly, the sample gas contains reference gas 1 at five times the amount in the reference spectrum 1, and reference gas 2 at two times the amount in the reference spectrum 2. The analysis indicates that the sample indeed consists of these two reference gases. The concentration of the reference gas 1 in the sample is found to be 50 ppm, and the concentration of the reference gas 2 in the sample is 16 ppm.increases and makes the analysis less precise.Furthermore, the information content of the measurement is not maximized by using as high a resolution as possible. Scientific research1 has proved that when the resolution is reduced by the some factor 1/k, signal-to-noise-ratio can be increased by a factor of k3/2 in the same registration time. This makes the use of low resolution quite worthwhile. To achieve precise quantitative analysis results, a low resolution measurement should be used provided that the spectral overlap problem can be taken care of.There are two reasons for the increase of the signal-to-noise ratio:• In an FT-IR spectrometer, the length of the measured interferogram determines the resolution. The longer the interferogram, the more data points, and the higher the resolution.In a high resolution study the time required by a single measurement is also high, so that we are able to co-add less measurements in a fixed time, leading to higher noise level. As a result, the longer the measured interferogram is, the lower signal-to-noise-ratio results.• High resolution requires narrow slit or a small aperture to prevent a phenomenon called aperture broadening. Narrow slit, in turn, reduces the signal and thus signal-to-noise-ratio ratio.1 See for example, P Saarinen & J Kauppinen. 1991. Multicomponent Analysis of FT-IR Spectra. Applied Spectroscopy.

They are the only gases that cannot be measured by the GASMET TM2.6.3 Structure of the GASMET TM DX-4010 AnalyzerFigure 7 outlines a complete gas analysis system. The IR source produces broad band IR radiation which is modulated in the interferometer. The interferometer actually performs an optical inverse Fourier transform. The modulated IR radiation passes through the sample cell where sample gas absorbs certain wavelengths of the IR radiation. The detector detects the transmitted IR radiation. The signal is digitized by A/D converter. The computer performs a mathematical Fourier transform on the digitized modulated signal, and a spectrum is obtained. The GASMET TM uses a Fast Fourier Transform to compute the spectrum from the interferogram. The transmittance spectrum is computed as a ratio of the sample spectrum to the background spectrum. The absorbance spectrum is computed from the transmittance spectrum. The GASMET TM uses the CALCMET TM software to compute the concentrations of the components present in the sample gas from the absorbance spectrum.Figure 7 A basic structure of GASMET TM DX-4010 analyzer.The data and signal processing electronics control the operation of the GASMET.

The gas sample is introduced into the gas cell through standard gas line connectors. The transmitted infrared radiation is finally detected by a thermoelectrically cooled detector.2.7 GASMET TM DX-4010 Technical Data2.7.1 General ParametersMeasurement principle:FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared)Performance: Simultaneous analysis of up to 50 gas compuondsResponse time: <120 s, depending on the gas flow and measurements timeOperating temperature: 20 ± 20°C, optimum 15 - 25°C non condensingStorage temperature: -20 - 60°C, non condensingPower supply: 12 VDC or 100-240 VAC / 50 - 60 Hz2.7.2 SpectrometerInterferometer: Temet© Carousel InterferometerResolution: recommended 8 cm-1 or 4 cm-1Scan frequency: 10 spectra/sAperture: 1’’Detector: Thermo-electrically cooled MCT or DTGSIR-source Ceramic, SiC, 1550 K temperatureBeamsplitter: ZnSeWindow material: ZnSeWavenumber range: 700 – 4200 cm-12.7.3 Sample CellStructure: Multi pass, fixed path length 1.2m, 2.5m, 5.0m, or 9.8mMaterial: 100 % Gold coater aluminiumMirrors: fixed, protected gold coatingVolume: 1.07 lConnectors: Swagelok 6 mm or 1/4"Gaskets: Teflon® coated Viton® or Kaltrez® O-ringsTemperature: 50 °C, maximumMaximum sample gas pressure: 2 barsFlow rate 1-5 l/minResponse time: <60 sSample condition: non condensing2.7.4 Measuring parametersZero point calibration: 24 hours calibration with nitrogen (4.0 or higher N2 rekomended)Zero point drift: 2 % of smallest measuring range per zero point calibration interval Sensitivity drift: noneLinear derivation: 2 % of smallest measuring rangeTemperature drift: 2 % of smallest measuring range per 10 °C temperature changePressure influence: 1 % change of measuring value for 1 % sample pressure change2.7.5 Electrical connectorsDigital interface: RS-232 C, 9-pole D-Connectors.
