The application of various methods of data processing of a raw, untreated free induction decay (FID) to improve the quality of noisy and overcrowded spectra is shown. The use of complex interpolation of fragments of a typical 31P NMR spectrum of humic substances from forest soil in D,O, combined with two-stage apodization of the FID, results in better defined signals and a higher accuracy of the integration of signals partially overlapped in the initial spectrum. Convolution difference resolution enhancement was used to enhance the spectral resolution of overlapped orthophosphate ion and orthophosphate monoester signals, while the noise was attenuated by a decreasing exponential.An attempt to detect carbon signals buried in the noise by applying a rapidly decaying exponential (line broadening of 10 or 50 Hz) to a noisy FID, and the use of resolution enhancement, are also described for the 13C NMR signals from soil extracts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
