Abstract
We show here how bayerite, a polymorphic form of aluminum trihydroxides, can be synthesized and characterized by simple spectroscopic methods. Purification of the product by washing with water can be monitored by diffuse reflectance infrared spectra. A product with extremely high purity is obtained after repeated washings.

Gabriela B. Cordon and M. Gabriela LagorioJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (7), 1167The scattering, S, and the absorption, K, coefficients of leaves from different plant species were determined separately as a function of wavelength from reflectance and transmittance data measured for the individual leaves. The equations that link the ...
