STRUCTURE AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OFROOTS COSTUS

Abstract

This study have been done in the department of physics at Alneelain

University – Khartoum Sudan . In this study was used plants Costus Roots. In

X-ray fluorescence ( XRF ) and Fourier Transformation infrared spectroscopy

( FTIR ) and are used as analytical techniques. The XRF results indicted that

the

Indian Costus Root

are contained of Potassium ( K 83% ) Calsium ( Ca )

Iron ( Fe ) , Mangnize ( Mn ) Copper ( Cu ), Zinc ( Zn ) . Lead ( Pb ) , Strontium

( Sr ), the potassium ( K ) is highest consternation and Yttrium is lowest

consternation . The FTIR spectra results of

Indian Costus Root

( roots )

show a broad and strong absorption band in the range ( 1630-1030 ) cm

-1

,

and these absorptions were assigned to the different stretching vibrations .

The XRF results indicted that the

BaharyCostus Root

are contained of

Potassium ( K ) Calsium ( Ca ) Iron ( Fe ) , Mangnize ( Mn ) Copper ( Cu ), Zinc

( Zn ) . Lead ( Pb ) , Strontium ( Sr ), the potassium ( K 89%) is highest

consternation and Yttrium is lowest consternation . The FTIR spectra results

of

BaharyCostus Root

( roots ) show a broad and strong absorption band in

the range ( 1640-1035 ) cm

-1

, and these absorptions were assigned to the

different stretching vibrations
