Identification of succinite of infrared absorption spectra

Abstract

The solution of the problem of identification of amber (succinite) on the example of natural polymer material of organic origin on the basis of its infrared absorption spectra is proposed. Taking into account the growing demand for the use of such composite materials on an industrial scale and the insufficiency of existing methods for determining their composition, the proposed method can become a new solution to the problem of identification. The basis of the proposed method for the study of succinite using infrared spectroscopy is translucent spectroscopy, with the measurement of mirror and diffuse reflection. The samples amber of the Palmniken Deposit obtained in the city of Kaliningrad of the Russian Federation were used as the objects studied. The data of infrared spectra of succinite obtained by the proposed method of infrared spectroscopy are obtained and presented in comparison. Five main links on the obtained infrared spectra have been experimentally determined, which can be used as characteristic features for identification and diagnostics of succinite by the material composition. The proposed method may be of interest in the theory of knowledge of material science, research related to the processes of identification, processing of production of amber.
