Abstract

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) is one of the tools to represent molecular structure based on atomic vibration. It can denote a specific property of the chemical bond and molecular structure in the material, especially when analyzing specimens relating to plastics, polymers, and organic components. The FTIR peaks and spectrum act as a fingerprint of a specific molecular structure and chemical bonding, which need a sufficient reference database to distinguish them. This paper is to address issues of the need for a reference database of FTIR. This paper exhibits step-by-step information on how to read and interpret the FTIR spectra and identify a molecule's backbone with its functional groups. Practical examples from the analysis of several plastics/polymers and the thermally decomposing plastics/polymers were included to help and guide the reader to comprehend the basic concept of FTIR spectra.

Abstract

This paper contains guidelines and provides a basic understanding of how to do experiments in dye adsorption using carbon. This paper presents a step-by-step experimental procedure from carbon preparation (as biochar) from agricultural waste to concentration measurement using UV-Vis Spectroscopy. We used agricultural waste as a model due to its high cellulose and organic content, making it easily converted into carbon. This paper can be used as a guide for researchers and students in the fabrication of carbon from agricultural waste biomass easily and inexpensively for its application as an adsorbent in the batch adsorption process. This paper also supports the current issues in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
