红外光谱测量时,水汽吸收潜带常掩蔽重要的样品光谱信息.克服水汽干扰的方法有真空技术、干燥气体吹扫技术、样品穿梭技术、光谱差减技术和水汽补偿湿度滴定方法等.该文重点评述了新近发展的用于除去水汽噪音的湿度滴定法.不同于以往方法,该方法允许水汽带在光谱采集前期出现,并根据水汽吸收带的大小和正负方向,适时向光谱仪样品室通入干燥气体或潮湿气体来实时调节样品室的相对湿度,使水汽的吸收峰随着扫描次数的增加而逐渐减小,最后得到消除.
Water vapor absorption bands may severely obscure important sample features in the infrared spectrum.In order to solve this problem,many methods,such as,vacuum,dry air purging technique,sample shuttle technique and spectral subtraction,etc,have been proposed and conducted.In this article,humidity titration method to remove water vapor noise completely was emphatically reviewed.The scanning procedure of a sample single beam spectrum was divided into two stages.At the first stage,the appearance of water vapor peaks was allowed and the absorption direction(for example absorbance A≥0 or A≤0) of water vapor bands was observed easily at the end of this stage.Then,the relative humidity in the sample compartment of spectrometer was changed by a dry or a wet air supply depending on the absorption direction of water vapor bands.After the relative humidity was changed to a certain extent,water vapor peaks would become smaller and smaller with the increase in scanning number during the second stage.By this way,water vapor noise could be eliminated progressively and completely at last.
