RESUMO
The capability to obtain quantitative information of a simple way from Raman spectra is a subject of considerable interest. In this work, this is demonstrated for mixtures of ethanol with water and rhodamine-6G (R-6G) with methanol, which were analyzed directly in glass vessel. The Raman intensities and a simple mathematical model have been used and applied for the analysis of liquid samples. It is starting point to generate a general expression, from the experimental spectra, as the sum of the particular expression for each pure compound allow us to obtain an expression for the mixtures which can be used for determining concentrations, from the Raman spectrum, of the mixture.

The potential of Raman spectroscopy in the quantitative analysis of dilute organic contaminants on aluminum substrates is evidenced in this work. Methyl-parathion microdroplets, an organophosphorus pesticide, has been used as a probe for this purpose. The samples were analyzed on an aluminum foil, which is very easy to acquire and to adapt. Moreover, aluminum foil does not need a previous treatment. Linear and no-linear curves as a function of the concentration of methyl-parathion versus the Raman intensity of the 1345 and 1110 cm(-1) peaks were established by means of a simple mathematical expression. A comparison with calibration curves fits very well, allowing quantification at concentration levels as low as parts per million.
