Data for the Determination of Total Carbon in Biosolids using MID-Infrared Spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: The data presented in this article relates to "Determination of Total Carbon in Biosolids using MID-Infrared Spectroscopy" published in Science of the Total Environment. In this new article, we present the data used for the development of the methodology using Partial Least Squares (PLS) combined with MID-Infrared (MID-IR) spectroscopy for the determination of total carbon in biosolids. Based on the data used, MID-IR combined with PLS was found to be an acceptable alternative and inexpensive method to determine the total C of biosolids compared to conventional methods such as the Dumas combustion method using a LECO C analyser.

In Situ Determination of Nitrate in Water Using Fourier Transform Mid-Infrared Attenuated Total Reflectance Spectroscopy Coupled with Deconvolution Algorithm.

Project description:Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy has been used to determine the nitrate content in aqueous solutions. However, the conventional water deduction algorithm indicated considerable limits in the analysis of samples with low nitrate concentration. In this study, FTIR-ATR spectra of nitrate solution samples with high and low concentrations were obtained, and the spectra were then pre-processed with deconvolution curve-fitting (without water deduction) combined with partial least squares regression (PLSR) to predict the nitrate content. The results show that the typical absorption of nitrate (1200-1500 cm-1) did not clearly align with the conventional algorithm of water deduction, while this absorption was obviously observed through the deconvolution algorithm. The first principal component of the spectra, which explained more than 95% variance, was linearly related to the nitrate content; the correlation coefficient (R2) of the PLSR model for the high-concentration group was 0.9578, and the ratio of the standard deviation of the prediction set to that of the calibration set (RPD) was 4.22, indicating excellent prediction performance. For the low-concentration group model, R2 and RPD were 0.9865 and 3.15, respectively, which also demonstrated significantly improved prediction capability. Therefore, FTIR-ATR spectroscopy combined with deconvolution curve-fitting can be conducted to determine the nitrate content in aqueous solutions, thus facilitating rapid determination of nitrate in water bodies with varied concentrations.

Determination of carbohydrates present in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using mid-infrared spectroscopy and partial least squares regression.

Project description:A fast and simple method to control variations in carbohydrate composition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, baker's yeast, during fermentation was developed using mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy. The method allows for precise and accurate determinations with minimal or no sample preparation and reagent consumption based on mid-IR spectra and partial least squares (PLS) regression. The PLS models were developed employing the results from reference analysis of the yeast cells. The reference analyses quantify the amount of trehalose, glucose, glycogen, and mannan in S. cerevisiae. The selection and optimization of pretreatment steps of samples such as the disruption of the yeast cells and the hydrolysis of mannan and glycogen to obtain monosaccharides were carried out. Trehalose, glucose, and mannose were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a refractive index detector and total carbohydrates were measured using the phenol-sulfuric method. Linear concentration range, accuracy, precision, LOD and LOQ were examined to check the reliability of the chromatographic method for each analyte.

Cerebral Microdialysate Metabolite Monitoring using Mid-infrared Spectroscopy.

Project description:The brains of patients suffering from traumatic brain-injury (TBI) undergo dynamic chemical changes in the days following the initial trauma. Accurate and timely monitoring of these changes is of paramount importance for improved patient outcome. Conventional brain-chemistry monitoring is performed off-line by collecting and manually transferring microdialysis samples to an enzymatic colorimetric bedside analyzer every hour, which detects and quantifies the molecules of interest. However, off-line, hourly monitoring means that any subhourly neurochemical changes, which may be detrimental to patients, go unseen and thus untreated. Mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy allows rapid, reagent-free, molecular fingerprinting of liquid samples, and can be easily integrated with microfluidics. We used mid-IR transmission spectroscopy to analyze glucose, lactate, and pyruvate, three relevant brain metabolites, in the extracellular brain fluid of two TBI patients, sampled via microdialysis. Detection limits of 0.5, 0.2, and 0.1 mM were achieved for pure glucose, lactate, and pyruvate, respectively, in perfusion fluid using an external cavity-quantum cascade laser (EC-QCL) system with an integrated transmission flow-cell. Microdialysates were collected hourly, then pooled (3-4 h), and measured consecutively using the standard ISCUSflex analyzer and the EC-QCL system. There was a strong correlation between the compound concentrations obtained using the conventional bedside analyzer and the acquired mid-IR absorbance spectra, where a partial-least-squares regression model was implemented to compute concentrations. This study demonstrates the potential utility of mid-IR spectroscopy for continuous, automated, reagent-free, and online monitoring of the dynamic chemical changes in TBI patients, allowing a more timely response to adverse brain metabolism and consequently improving patient outcomes.

Surface-enhanced mid-infrared absorption spectroscopy using miniaturized-disc metasurface.

Project description:Surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy is an important technique for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of spectroscopic material identification measurements in the mid-infrared fingerprinting region. However, the lower bound of the fingerprinting region receives much less attention due to a scarcity of transparent materials, more expensive sources, and weaker plasmonic effects. In this paper, we present a miniaturized metasurface unit cell for surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy of the 15-[Formula: see text]m vibrational band of CO[Formula: see text]. The unit cell consists of a gold disc, patterned along the edge with fine gaps/wires to create a resonant metamaterial liner. In simulation, our plasmonic metamaterial-lined disc achieves greater than [Formula: see text] the average field intensity enhancement of a comparable dipole array and a miniaturized size of [Formula: see text] using complex, 100-nm features that are patterned using 100-kV electron-beam lithography. In a simple experiment, the metamaterial-lined disc metasurface shows a high tolerance to fabrication imperfections and enhances the absorption of CO[Formula: see text] at 15 [Formula: see text]m. The resonant wavelength and reflection magnitude can be tuned over a wide range by adjusting the liner feature sizes and the metasurface array pitch to target other vibrational bands. This work is a step toward low-cost, more compact on-chip integrated gas sensors.

Open-path measurement of stable water isotopologues using mid-infrared dual-comb spectroscopy.

Project description:We present an open-path mid-infrared dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS) system capable of precise measurement of the stable water isotopologues H216O and HD16O. This system ran in a remote configuration at a rural test site for 3.75 months with 60% uptime and achieved a precision of < 2‰ on the normalized ratio of H216O and HD16O (δD) in 1000s. Here, we compare the δD values from the DCS system to those from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) isotopologue point sensor network. Over the multi-month campaign, the mean difference between the DCS δD values and the NEON δD values from a similar ecosystem is < 2‰ with a standard deviation of 18‰, which demonstrates the inherent accuracy of DCS measurements over a variety of atmospheric conditions. We observe time-varying diurnal profiles and seasonal trends that are mostly correlated between the sites on daily timescales. This observation motivates the development of denser ecological monitoring networks aimed at understanding regional- and synoptic-scale water transport. Precise and accurate open-path measurements using DCS provide new capabilities for such networks.

Mid infrared gas spectroscopy using efficient fiber laser driven photonic chip-based supercontinuum.

Project description:Directly accessing the middle infrared, the molecular functional group spectral region, via supercontinuum generation processes based on turn-key fiber lasers offers the undeniable advantage of simplicity and robustness. Recently, the assessment of the coherence of the mid-IR dispersive wave in silicon nitride (Si3N4) waveguides, pumped at telecom wavelength, established an important first step towards mid-IR frequency comb generation based on such compact systems. Yet, the spectral reach and efficiency still fall short for practical implementation. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that large cross-section Si3N4 waveguides pumped with 2 μm fs-fiber laser can reach the important spectroscopic spectral region in the 3-4 μm range, with up to 35% power conversion and milliwatt-level output powers. As a proof of principle, we use this source for detection of C2H2 by absorption spectroscopy. Such result makes these sources suitable candidate for compact, chip-integrated spectroscopic and sensing applications.

Spin-Controlled Binding of Carbon Dioxide by an Iron Center: Insights from Ultrafast Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy.

Project description:The influence of the spin on the mode of binding between carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and a transition-metal (TM) center is an entirely open question. Herein, we use an iron(III) oxalato complex with nearly vanishing doublet-sextet gap, and its ultrafast photolysis, to generate TM-CO2 bonding patterns and determine their structure in situ by femtosecond mid-infrared spectroscopy. The formation of the nascent TM-CO2 species according to [L4 FeIII (C2 O4 )]+ + hν → [L4 Fe(CO2 )]+ + CO2 , with L4 =cyclam, is evidenced by the coincident appearance of the characteristic asymmetric stretching absorption of the CO2 -ligand between 1600 cm-1 and 1800 cm-1 and that of the free CO2 -co-fragment near 2337 cm-1 . On the high-spin surface (S=5/2), the product complex features a bent carbon dioxide radical anion ligand that is O-"end-on"-bound to the metal. In contrast, on the intermediate-spin and low-spin surfaces, the product exhibits a "side-on"-bound, bent carbon dioxide ligand that has either a partial open-shell (for S=3/2) or fully closed-shell character (for S=1/2).

Time-domain spectroscopy in the mid-infrared.

Project description:When coupled to characteristic, fingerprint vibrational and rotational motions of molecules, an electromagnetic field with an appropriate frequency and waveform offers a highly sensitive, highly informative probe, enabling chemically specific studies on a broad class of systems in physics, chemistry, biology, geosciences, and medicine. The frequencies of these signature molecular modes, however, lie in a region where accurate spectroscopic measurements are extremely difficult because of the lack of efficient detectors and spectrometers. Here, we show that, with a combination of advanced ultrafast technologies and nonlinear-optical waveform characterization, time-domain techniques can be advantageously extended to the metrology of fundamental molecular motions in the mid-infrared. In our scheme, the spectral modulation of ultrashort mid-infrared pulses, induced by rovibrational motions of molecules, gives rise to interfering coherent dark waveforms in the time domain. These high-visibility interference patterns can be read out by cross-correlation frequency-resolved gating of the field in the visible generated through ultrabroadband four-wave mixing in a gas phase.

Whey Protein Powder Analysis by Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy.

Project description:There is an ever-expanding number of high protein dietary supplements marketed as beneficial to athletes, body builders, infant formulas, elder care, and animal feed. Consumers will pay more for products with high protein per serving data on their nutritional labels, making the accurate reporting of protein content critical to customer confidence. The Kjeldahl method (KM) is the industry standard to quantitate dairy proteins, but the result is based on nitrogen content, which is an approximation of nitrogen attributable to protein in milk. Product tampering by third-party manufacturers is an issue, due to the lack of United States Food and Drug Administration regulation of nutraceutical products, permitting formulators to add low-cost nitrogen-containing components to artificially inflate the KM approximated protein content in products. Optical spectroscopy is commonly used for quality control measurements and has been identified as having the potential to complement the KM as a more nuanced testing measure of dairy protein. Mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy spectra of eight protein standards provided qualitative characterization of each protein by amide I and amide II peak absorbance wavenumber. Protein doping experiments revealed that as protein amounts were increased, the amide I/II peak shape changed from the broad protein powder peaks to the narrower peaks characteristic of the individual protein. Amino acid doping experiments with lysine, glutamic acid, and glycine, determined the limit of detection by MIR spectroscopy as 25%, suggesting that MIR spectroscopy can provide product quality assurance complementary to dairy protein measurement by the KM.

Infrared Optical Functions of Water Retrieved Using Attenuated Total Reflection Spectroscopy.

Project description:Comprehensive modeling of non-polarized infrared attenuated total reflection spectrum based on Fresnel equations and wavenumber-dependent dielectric function models of isotropic materials is shown to be a suitable and easy methodology to retrieve optical functions. The scheme is completely general and can be used even for strong dispersion and absorption resonances. Attenuated total reflection spectra in liquid water, measured in the spectral region 100-4400 cm-1 with diamond and germanium as internal reflection elements, were used to illustrate and evaluate the method. The refractive index of water computed from the dispersion analysis is critically compared with literature data.
