Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) is a chemical compound composed of silicon and oxygen atoms in a 1:2 ratio. It is commonly found in nature as quartz and is a major component of sand and rocks.
FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) peaks are specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by a material. When analyzing Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) using FTIR, the peaks correspond to the specific vibrations of the Si-O bonds in the molecule, providing information about the molecular structure of SiO2.
The main FTIR peaks of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) are typically found at 800 cm-1, 1050 cm-1, and 1100 cm-1. These peaks correspond to the stretching vibrations of the Si-O bonds in the molecule.
When analyzing a sample of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) using FTIR, any additional peaks that do not correspond to the main Si-O bond vibrations can indicate the presence of impurities in the sample. These impurities may alter the molecular structure of SiO2 and can be identified through their unique FTIR peaks.
Yes, the intensity of FTIR peaks can be used to determine the concentration of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) in a sample. The more intense the peak, the higher the concentration of SiO2 in the sample. However, this method may not be accurate for samples with a high concentration of impurities or for complex mixtures containing other compounds with similar FTIR peaks.
