“…Carbonyl functional groups are known to be pronounced in oxidized carbon materials rather than the original parent carbon material (Budinova et al 2006). In addition, stretching vibration bands of surface and hydrogen bonded -O-H group of alcohols, phenols, and chemisorbed water (Daifullah et al 2003;Ibrahim et al 1980;Yang and Lua 2003;Puziy et al 2003), the peaks pertaining to asymmetric -C-H stretching vibration of aliphatic -CH 3 or -CH 2 groups (Biniak et al 1997;Yu et al 2008;Puziy et al 2003;Rajeshwari et al 2001); peaks due to the in plane bending vibration of -C-H of methylene group (Budinova et al 2006;Rajeshwari et al 2001;Ozgul et al 2007); peaks due to -C-O stretching in alcohols, phenols, ethers, esters, acids, epoxides, lactones, and carboxylic anhydrides (Shin et al 1997;Budinova et al 2006;Rajeshwari et al 2001;Gomez-Serrano et al 1994;Figueiredo et al 1999;El-Hendawy 2003;Park et al 1997;Attia et al 2006;Lapuente et al 1998); the peaks pertaining to the -C=O stretching in carbonyl and carboxyl groups and in lactones (Zawadzki 1989;Nageswara Rao et al 2011;Fanning and Vannice 1993;Painter et al 1985;Zhuang et al 1994); peaks due to the out-of-plane deformation vibrations of -C-H group in aromatic structures (Nageswara 3743.37, 3676.37, 3617.38 3563.84, 3386.65, 3289.23 3843.03, 3745.86, 3679.14, 3614.13, 3562.86, 3334.89, 3227.25 -O-H in alcohols, acids, phenols, and -N-H in amines and amides 2 2932.15, 2876.53, 2822.24, 2786.84 29...…”
