Jd. Wang et al., REMOTE ANALYSIS OF MOTORBOAT EXHAUSTS USING FOURIER-TRANSFORM INFRARED SPECTROMETRY, Analytica chimica acta, 277(1), 1993, pp. 153-155
Infrared absorption spectra of motorboat exhausts were remotely record
ed by means of remote-source Fourier transform infrared spectrometer w
ith 4 cm-1 spectral resolution in the spectral range 4000-800 cm-1, wh
ich covers mainly the spectral bands of methanol, carbon monoxide, car
bon dioxide and water vapor. A method for quantitative remote identifi
cation is described. The concentrations found for methanol, carbon mon
oxide and carbon dioxide in the exhaust were 0.17, 4.26 and 0.32%, res
pectively.
