Abstract
The adsorption of 1,2-dihydroxyanthraqinone-3-sulphonate (ARS) onto the surface of fluorite mineral was studied using diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy and Fourier transform (FT) Raman spectroscopy. The FT-Raman method proved to be more appropriate for this study when ARS was adsorbed from alkaline solution. At pH 6 both DRIFT and Raman spectra indicate non-precipitated ARS on the fluorite surface. At higher pH Raman spectra indicate ARS to be attached to the fluorite surface through the quinoid group at the 9-position and the α-phenolic oxygen.
