Strong absorption bands of photoacoustic Fourier-transform spectra are often truncated relative to weaker bands owing to signal saturation. To correct this problem, we propose processing both the phase and the amplitude information in the photoacoustic signal. Under certain conditions, easily fulfilled in typical experiments, we are able to calculate the absolute absorption spectrum from the photoacoustic data. Experimental results are given for asbestos fibers (chrysotile).

The isotopic shift of the v2 NO3−1 absorption of mixtures of K15NO3 and K14NO3 at 800 and 825 cm−1 has been used to demonstrate that Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy is a technique which is useful for quantitative analysis of solid mixtures.

The use of Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy (FT-IR/PAS) as a method for quantitative analysis of surface adsorption sites is demonstrated. Mid-IR information about the amount of adsorption is available with the sampling advantages of PAS: ability to analyze opaque materials with minimal sample preparation, qualitative information about both gas [CO(g)] phase and adsorbed [CO(ads)] species, a sealed sample environment for control of the gas phase in contact with the sample, and the ability to monitor in situ reaction kinetics. In this study a calibration curve is constructed for the amount of CO(g) in the sample cell with a silica internal reference. This calibration curve is utilized to calculate the amount of CO(ads) by subtraction on a catalytic surface where both CO(g) and CO(ads) exist at equilibrium. Using standard parameters from gas titration/volume uptake studies, the surface covered and the percentage of active sites on the surface are determined. This analysis combines the qualitative analytical capabilities of PAS with quantitative analysis, thus demonstrating another facet of the usefulness of FT-IR/PAS in addressing unusual problems.
