Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Wood Science ((SSWOO))

Abstract

Since the early 1950s, IR spectroscopy has been a routine analytical tool for lignin chemists. In the past, spectra were recorded using the so-called dispersive technique, i.e., with grating-type or prism instruments. In the last decade, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers have become increasingly available for routine laboratory work.
