Engineering Research Equipment Grant - Automated Electrokinetic Analyzer

将购买一个仪器系统，以协助确定 悬浮固体表面性质之间的关系 吸附性能的研究 溶液中的物质。 这项研究可能会导致更好的 比现在可能的表面表征和新的假设 关于静电在吸附和降解中的作用 现象。 该仪器将用于研究 金属氧化物的表面性质和吸附现象， 不同的影响，表面静电吸附某些 阴离子和阳离子，吸附的有机物和离子，从自然 粘土和其他水生颗粒物上的废物，以及 厌氧处理中的木材废弃物颗粒。

An instrument system will be purchased to assist in determining relationships between surface properties of solids suspended in wastewater being treated and their adsorptive character toward substances in solution. This research is likely to lead to better characterization of surfaces than is now possible and new hypotheses concerning the role of electrostatics in sorption and degradation phenomena. The insturment will be used in studies of changes in surface properties and adsorption phenomena for metal oxides, of different effects of surface electrostatics on sorption of certain anions and cations, of sorption of organics and ionis from natural wastes on clays and other aquatic particulates, and of degradation of wood waste particulates in anaerobic treatment.
