M.Sc.(Chemistry) / Fourier transform infrared and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy were used in this study. The relative merits of dispersive and interferometric instrumentation were investigated and the latter revealed a dramatic improvement in accuracy. In the infrared study transmission and diffuse reflectance techniques were used and compared. The diffuse reflectance technique provides more information regarding surface species, like OH-groups and interactions between adsorbent and adsorbate, than the transmission technique ...
