Navigating Global Regulatory Frameworks for Microplastic Analysis in Drinking Water Using Vibrational Spectroscopy
Session 1
As interest in microplastics in the environment and food chain grows, so does the interest in the potential impacts for environmental and human health. This, coupled with strong public attention, has led to various organizations around the world looking towards the potential for regulations. While there are no specific regulations relating to the occurrence of microplastics in, for example, food, drinking water, or wastewater, an increasing number of standardized methodologies are being developed as a potential precursor to regulation.
In the United States, the government in California has gone one step further by mandating a four-year period of testing and reporting of microplastics levels in drinking water. California Water Boards are finalizing the sampling and testing methodologies.
Naturally, laboratories conducting microplastics analysis will be interested in these methodologies, even if they are not directly impacted. After all, standardized testing methodology can play a crucial role in harmonizing analysis, leading to more reliable data. Likewise, instrumentation providers are responsible for ensuring their products can assist users in applying these methods. With reference to the Agilent 8700 LDIR, we will explore these methodologies and how fast and automated infrared analysis of microplastics can assist.

Interrogating Solid Catalysts Using (In Situ) Diffuse Reflectance UV-Visible Spectroscopy
This webinar aims to demonstrate how UV-visible spectroscopy can be used as a powerful tool to understand solid catalysts, specifically the class of supported oxide catalysts. Supported oxides consist of an active oxide phase supported on a carrier particle, often of alumina or silica. These catalysts are used extensively in the chemical industry and in pollution abatement. These materials also have electronic spectra (e.g. from UV-visible spectroscopy) that are very sensitive to the local structure, oxidation state, and chemical environment of the catalytic oxide component. UV-visible spectroscopy does not require crystalline material, and research-grade spectrophotometers are more than sufficiently sensitive to detect very low loadings of oxides on the carrier particles or to observe small changes to the structure. Using a praying mantis accessory, we provide some examples of how the UV-visible spectra of iron, copper, zirconium, titanium, manganese, and other oxides are key to understanding their catalytic activity. In some cases, we can also utilize an in situ reactor to understand how the structure of the active oxide changes at high temperatures and with reactive gases.

Analysis of Semiconductors through UV-Visible Techniques: Band Gap Studies
Semiconducting materials are widely studied for use in solar energy and photocatalytic applications, among other areas of interest. For applications which involve the use of light, it is important to understand the energy needed to promote electrons from the valence band to the conduction band. This band gap energy can often be on par with the energy of photons in the UV-Visible region. As such, UV-Visible spectroscopic techniques can be of use when assessing the band structure of semiconducting materials. Tauc plots, which are derived from the UV-Visible spectrum, provides the needed information to estimate the bandgap energy. In conjunction with computation and experimental results, the information gathered from the Tauc plot can aid in assessing the relative position of the valence and conduction bands. In this webinar, the use of UV-Visible reflectance and transmittance measurements for band gap analysis will be discussed in detail. Additionally, considerations needed when analyzing semiconducting samples with these methods with be outlined.
