A vibrational spectroscopic study of the phosphate mineral vantasselite Al4(PO4)3(OH)3 9H2O.
We have studied the phosphate mineral vantasselite Al4(PO4)3(OH)3 9H2O using a combination of SEM with EDX and Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Qualitative chemical analysis shows Al, Fe and P. Raman bands at 1013 and 1027 cm 1 are assigned to the PO43 m1 symmetric stretching mode. The observation o...

| Sumario: | We have studied the phosphate mineral vantasselite Al4(PO4)3(OH)3 9H2O using a combination of SEM with EDX and Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Qualitative chemical analysis shows Al, Fe and P. Raman bands at 1013 and 1027 cm 1 are assigned to the PO43 m1 symmetric stretching mode. The observation of two bands suggests the non-equivalence of the phosphate units in the vantasselite structure. Raman bands at 1051, 1076 and 1090 cm 1 are attributed to the PO43 m3 antisymmetric stretching vibration. A comparison is made with the spectroscopy of wardite. Strong infrared bands at 1044, 1078, 1092, 1112, 1133, 1180 and 1210 cm 1 are attributed to the PO4 3 m3 antisymmetric stretching mode. Some of these bands may be due to dAl2OH deformation modes. Vibrational spectroscopy offers a mechanism for the study of the molecular structure of vantasselite. |
