Ir spectra of Aerosil silica were measured for samples which were subjected to bakeout, deuterium exchange, and diethyl ether adsorption. The absorbance difference spectrum between the infrared spectra obtained at different conditions showed several peaks and shoulders for each experiment. In consideration of a model of surface hydroxyls, it is concluded that ir absorption of the silica degassed under vacuum below 500/sup 0/C contains a number of contiguous bands and that most of these bands are attributed to various types of hydroxyl species in the model. In an attempt of decomposition of the difference spectra by a curve resolver, these were respectively resolved into several components, which could be related to each other among the three experiments. 8 figures, 1 table.
