Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) for qualitative and quantitative environmental analyses

拟议的研究及工具仪器拨款旨在购置衰减全反射傅立叶变换红外光谱仪（ATR-FTIR），该仪器对开发各种工业和市政废物的去污、处理和增值程序的研究工作至关重要。INRS-ETE没有拟议的设备，研究人员大多将样品送到其他实验室进行分析。拟议的设备将有两个主要目的：a）对各种基质，如废水、废水污泥、土壤、水和其他环境基质中的不同有机物和无机物进行有效、精确和快速的定性和定量分析; B）验证各种拟议的处理/解毒技术。拟议的设备还将处理其他环境流，如沉积物、植物、飞灰等。该设备包括带检测器模块的ATR-FTIR、库附加装置、短程气室和标准透射采样套件。要求的ATR FT-IR系统将安装在INRS-ETE的中心实验室。在与负责中心实验室设施中所有设备的实验室经理讨论后，将优先和保留地向中心的合作研究者和其他研究者提供设备。

The proposed research and tools instrument grant aims at the acquisition of Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) essential for the research tasks relating to the development of processes for decontamination, treatment and value-addition of various types of wastes of industrial and municipal origin. The proposed equipment does not exist at INRS-ETE and researchers were mostly sending their samples in other laboratories for analysis. The proposed equipment will serve two main purposes: a) efficient, precise and rapid qualitative and quantitative analysis of different organics and inorganics from various matrices, such as wastewater, wastewater sludge, soils, water and other environmental matrices and; b) validation of various proposed treatment/detoxification technologies, thereof. The proposed equipment will also address other environmental streams, such as sediments, plants, fly ash, among others. The equipment includes ATR-FTIR with detector module, library add-on, short path gas cell and standard transmission sampling kit. The requested ATR FT-IR system will be installed in the central laboratory of INRS-ETE. The equipment will be made available to the collaborating researchers and other researchers of the center on priority and reservation basis in discussion with the laboratory manager who is responsible for all equipment in the central laboratory facility.
