Abstract

This paper studied the FTIR spectrum change of alcohol-water system after treated by high voltage electric field (2.0 kV.cm-1, 50 Hz). 4 kinds of systems were studied: pure water, 10% and 50% alcohol water solution and pure alcohol. Results showed that the position of nu (OH) in FTIR spectrum reflect the amount of hydrogen bonds in the alcohol-water system; when the solution treated by 1-30 min, the hydrogen bonds increased first and then decreased a lot. When the 50% alcohol solution and pure alcohol were treated more than 30 min by 2.0 kV.cm-1 electric field, peaks of nu (c-o) and nu (OH)(H2O) appeared in the spectrum. This indicated that alcohol might be oxidized by external physical field force and aldehyde and ester were formed. Test for the treated samples 7 days later found the FTIR spectra were almost the same. Some mechanisms were deduced.

Main findings

Alcohol-water systems (pure water, 10% and 50% alcohol solutions, pure alcohol) exposed to a high-voltage electric field (2.0 kV·cm−1, 50 Hz) showed FTIR changes: inferred hydrogen bonding increased initially (1–30 min) and then decreased. For 50% alcohol solution and pure alcohol treated for more than 30 min, additional peaks (ν(C–O) and ν(OH)(H2O)) appeared, interpreted as possible oxidation with formation of aldehyde and ester. FTIR spectra measured 7 days later were reported to be almost the same.

Outcomes measured

FTIR spectrum changes in alcohol-water systems
Hydrogen bonding changes inferred from ν(OH) position
Appearance of ν(C–O) and ν(OH)(H2O) peaks suggesting oxidation products (aldehyde, ester)
Stability of FTIR spectra 7 days after treatment

Limitations

No sample size or replication details reported in the abstract
In vitro/chemical system study; not directly health-related
Mechanistic interpretation (oxidation/aldehyde/ester formation) is inferred rather than directly confirmed in the abstract
Exposure characterization limited to field strength and frequency; other parameters not described
