Fourier-transform infrared and X-ray diffraction analyses of the hydration reaction of pure magnesium oxide and chemically modified magnesium oxide.

ABSTRACT: The magnesium hydroxide/magnesium oxide (Mg(OH)₂/MgO) system is a promising chemical heat storage system that utilizes unused heat at the temperature range of 200-500 °C. We have previously reported that the addition of lithium chloride (LiCl) and/or lithium hydroxide (LiOH) promotes the dehydration of Mg(OH)₂. The results revealed that LiOH primarily catalyzed the dehydration of the surface of Mg(OH)₂, while LiCl promoted the dehydration of bulk Mg(OH)₂. However, the roles of Li compounds in the hydration of MgO have not been discussed in detail. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) techniques were used to analyze the effects of adding the Li compounds. The results revealed that the addition of LiOH promoted the diffusion of water into the MgO bulk phase and the addition of LiCl promoted the hydration of the MgO bulk phase. It was also observed that the concentration (number) of OH^- affected hydration. The mechanism of hydration of pure and LiCl- (or LiOH)-added MgO has also been discussed.

Project description:Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, a technology traditionally used in chemistry to determine the molecular composition of a wide range of sample types, has gained growing interest in microbial typing. It is based on the different vibrational modes of the covalent bonds between atoms of a given sample, as bacterial cells, induced by the absorption of infrared radiation. This technique has been largely used for the study of pathogenic species, especially in the clinical field, and has been proposed also for the typing at different subspecies levels. The high throughput, speed, low cost, and simplicity make FTIR spectroscopy an attractive technique also for industrial applications, in particular, for probiotics. The aim of this study was to compare FTIR spectroscopy with established genotyping methods, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), whole-genome sequencing (WGS), and multilocus sequence typing (MLST), in order to highlight the FTIR spectroscopy potential discriminatory power at strain level. Our study focused on bifidobacteria, an important group of intestinal commensals generally recognized as probiotics. For their properties in promoting and maintaining health, bifidobacteria are largely marketed by the pharmaceutical, food, and dairy industries. Strains belonging to Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis were taken into consideration together with some additional type strains. For B. longum subsp. longum, it was possible to discriminate the strains with all the methods used. Although two isolates were shown to be strictly phylogenetically related, constituting a unique cluster, based on PFGE, WGS, and MLST, no clustering was observed with FTIR. For B. animalis subsp. lactis group, PFGE, WGS, and MLST were non-discriminatory, and only one strain was easily distinguished. On the other hand, FTIR discriminated all the isolates one by one, and no clustering was observed. According to these results, FTIR analysis is not only equivalent to PFGE, WGS, and MLST, but also for some strains, in particular, for B. animalis subsp. lactis group, more informative, being able to differentiate strains not discernible with the other two methods based on phenotypic variations likely deriving from certain genetic changes. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has highlighted the possibility of using the cell surface as a kind of barcode making tracing strains possible, representing an important aspect in probiotic applications. Furthermore, this work constitutes the first investigation on bifidobacterial strain typing using FTIR spectroscopy.
