Two-Dimensional Correlation Spectroscopic Analysis on the Interaction between Humic Acids and TiO2 Nanoparticles

Chen, Wei, Qian, Chen, Liu, Xiao-Yang, Yu, Han-Qing·2014·Environmental Science & Technology

Abstract

The elucidation of the interaction between TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and natural organic matter (NOM) can help one to better understand the fates, features, and environmental impacts of NPs. In this work, two-dimensional (2D) Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR) correlation spectroscopy (CoS) assisted by the fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) method is used to explore the interaction mechanism of humic acid (HA) with TiO2 NPs at a molecular level. The results show that the C═O bonds (carboxylate, amide, quinone, or ketone) and C-O bonds (phenol, aliphatic C-OH, and polysaccharide) of HA play important roles in their interaction with TiO2 NPs. The adsorption process of HA onto the surface of TiO2 NPs is different from the bonding process of the two species in solution. The forms of the relevant groups of HA and their consequent reaction with TiO2 NPs are affected to a great extent by the solution pH and the surface charge of NPs. The 2D-FTIR-CoS method is found to be able to construct a comprehensive picture about the NOM-TiO2 NPs interaction process. This 2D-FTIR-CoS approach might also be used to probe other complicated interaction processes in natural and engineered environments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
