    Results and Discussion 3.1. Absorption spectra study of 5-aminopyridine Schiff base (L1 and L2): The absorption spectrum of probes L1 and L2 (40 μM) were investigated in the presence of metals ions in DMSO solvent. As shown in Fig. 1, Schiff base L1 exhibited absorption band at 269 nm, 310 nm, 323 nm and 347 nm; and L2 at 264 nm, 319 nm, 341 nm, 439 nm and 462 nm, that may be attributed to π-π* charge transfer transition. However, no remarkable changes were observed in absorption spectra after the addition

    Water samples were stored in a cooler and brought 143 back to the laboratory on the same day. The samples were immediately filtered using pre-rinsed 0.2 μm Remote Sens. 2015, 7 5 Nuclepore membrane filters (Whatman GmbH) and analyzed for optical 144 absorption. Meteorological 145 data (wind speed and wind direction) were acquired from NOAA 's National Data Buoy Center 146 (NDBC) at the Grand Isle station (GISL1, 20.265°N 89.958°W) for 2010 and 2011. River discharge 147 information was obtained

    reflectance data was convert absorption mode [27]. As shown in figure 7 the as-prepared CuO nanostructures with different ratio of citric acid exhibit different sensitivities to visible light, the absorption edge is shifted to shorter wavelength with compact size and altered morphology. Our results point out not only the size but also the morphology of the CuO nanocrystals affects the bandgap. It is quite observable from the figure 7b that SP0.10A exhibits the hogher absorption properties in the visible

    3.2. FT-IR examinations. Fourier transformation infrared spectra of formed composites have many identified bands which are: stretching vibration of O-H bond at about 3430, 1600 cm-1, stretching vibration of CO2 located at about 1410 cm-1, asymmetric stretching vibration at about 1110 cm-1 corresponding to S-O4 stretching mode (ν3) and out-of plane bending mode (ν4) of ettringite [Mollah et al. (1998); Hanna et al. (1995)] asymmetric stretching vibration (T–O–Si) at about 975 cm-1 where T = Si or

    Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to analyze the efficacy and accuracy in determining mass composition of copper in a penny using two methods: atomic absorption spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The “Copper” Penny The penny is a common form of currency used in the United States, holding the monetary value of one cent. From 1793 to 1837 the penny was composed of pure copper. As the years passed, the percent composition of copper in the penny decreased. From 1837 to

    Spectroscopy Spectroscopy is the study of energy levels in atoms or molecules, using absorbed or emitted electromagnetic radiation. There are many categories of spectroscopy eg. Atomic and infrared spectroscopy, which have numerous uses and are essential in the world of science. When investigating spectroscopy four parameters have to be considered; spectral range, spectral bandwidth, spectral sampling and signal-to-noise ratio, as they describe the capability of a

    The purpose of this experiment was to determine a series of external standards using Atomic Absorption (AA) and Flame Atomic Emission (FEA) spectroscopy. The principles of Atomic Absorption spectroscopy relies on the ability to distinguish one atom from another with great sensitivity as explained in Quantitative Chemical Analysis by Daniel Harris1. Specifically, this high precise determination can be achieved when specific wavelength of light is generated by a hollow-cathode lamp. The light emitted

    Introduction Environmental pollution as a result of man’s increasing activities such as burning of fossil fuels and automobile exhaust emission has increased considerably in the past century due mainly to significant increases in economic activities and industrialization. Burning of fossil fuels and petroleum industry activities have be identified as primary sources of atmospheric metallic burden leading to environmental pollution. In the United States, the burning of fossil fuels to make electricity

    8) As we know in UV spectroscopy the sample is between the source and the detector. So the light starts from the source and goes through the sample and ends in the detector. On the other hand in fluorescence spectroscopy the light is imparted at all angle as a result the detector misses a lot of light. This is a reason that fluorescence spectroscopy is more sensitive that UV spectroscopy. 9) As previously mentioned after absorbing energy an electron can jump from the ground state (lowest energy)

    Testing Phosphate Levels In Water Samples Using Serial Dilutions and Absorption Spectroscopy Caroline Papadakis, Alex Cockerham, Brandon Minear, Rachel Peña University of Central Florida August 1, 2017 Abstract: One of water’s major properties is being a solvent. It allows water to be a medium for different processes. The issue is, there is often no discrepancy between toxins and harmless minerals, such as phosphate. It is important to know whether the water we drink is clean not or because the
