Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) is a powerful analytical technique widely used in geology for various applications. Here are some of the primary applications of FTIR in geological studies: 1. **Mineral Identification**: FTIR is extensively used to identify and characterize minerals through their specific absorption bands. Different minerals exhibit unique spectral signatures, allowing for precise identification. 2. **Clay Mineral Analysis**: FTIR is particularly useful in the study of clay minerals, which have complex structures.
