Abstract

The mineralogical characterization was carried out to determine the major and minor constituents minerals present in the coastal sediment collected in and around Nagapattinum district Tamilnadu, India by FT-IR spectroscopy. The minerals were identified with the help of available literature from the IR absorption band or location of different peaks. The identified minerals are quartz, orthoclase, microcline, albite, kaolinite, montmorlinite, calcite, aragonite and organic carbon. This result shows that FT-IR is a promising technique for identifying and quantifying the mineral analysis.
