I have a solvent, which i plan to use FTIR to analyse it, hoping to find any methanol contain in it.
But, i have no idea about the parameters required for the FTIR, in able to do the analysis.
Any ideas/experience from you guys are really appreciated
Dear Ridzwan Tajol Aros
I'm not sure if I understood exactly what you meant when you say "parameters"..
but if you are asking about technical questions - if your FTIR spectrometer is equipped with ATR apparatus, so you just need to put a drop of sample on it in order to check the material. If the instrument doesn't have ATR so you will need to prepare a KBR pallet that include your sample.
If your question was about how will the spectrum would look like, so The attached file (from the web) will help you.
Dear @ridzwan
Are you talking about absorption wavelength that will indicate the presence of methanol in your analysed sample?
You can read the book of
Nakamoto, Kazuo. "Infrared spectra of inorganic and coordination compounds." in two parts.
