Near-infrared spectroscopy for in situ monitoring of geoenvironment / Masoud Ghandehari in Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, Vol. 134 N°4 (Avril 2008) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering > Vol. 134 N°4 (Avril 2008) . - pp. 487–496 Titre : Near-infrared spectroscopy for in situ monitoring of geoenvironment Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Masoud Ghandehari, Auteur ; Konstantinos Kostarelos, Auteur ; Kai-Chung Cheng, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : pp. 487–496 Note générale : Geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : In  situ  tests  Monitoring  Fiber  optics  Hydrocarbons  Absorption  Liquids Résumé : This paper demonstrates the usefulness of near-infrared optical fiber analysis for sensing moisture and liquid hydrocarbons in soil. Through experiments we have carried out sensing probes which have been developed, comprising optical fibers that use the evanescent field of the guided energy. The movement of water through dry sand was simulated in the laboratory and the sensors were used in situ to measure the variation of soil moisture in real time. A similar experiment simulated the movement of an organic liquid (mineral oil) through water-saturated sand, and the sensors were used in situ to monitor the hydrocarbon movement. We found that a hydrophobic polymer-coated waveguide can amplify the hydrocarbon signal while minimizing that of water, making it possible to detect a dissolved hydrocarbon. Tests show that the second derivative transform of the absorption spectra could be used to distinguish classes of hydrocarbons.
