From: Decontamination of water co-polluted by copper, toluene and tetrahydrofuran using lauric acid
ATR-FTIR spectra of samples prepared with lauric acid in canola oil and toluene and DI water with 10 mM NaOH, with or without copper salts, and with lauric acid in toluene alone. ATR-FTIR spectra were collected for the top phase (i.e., the oil phase) of samples prepared using 5 mL of either 30 mM CuCl2 or CuSO4 solutions, and 2 mL of oil (containing 1:1 toluene to 0.25 M lauric in canola oil solution).
