9902679ButcherThis award supports David Butcher of Western Carolina University in a collaboration with Kay Niemax and Michael Bolshov of the Institute of Spectrochemistry and Applied Spectroscopy at the University of Dortmund, Germany. The research cooperative project will couple high-performance liquid chromatography with diode laser atomic absorption spectrometry to analyze the compounds in the combustion products of methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). Controversy has developed recently regarding the potential toxicity of the fuel additive, which has been marketed in the United States for unleaded gasoline since 1995. Health risks associated with MMT remain unknown because of insufficient knowledge of its combustion products. The new combination of analytical techniques should be able to replace the complicated and expensive instrumentation requirements of present analytical methods. The diode laser atomic absorption technique was developed at the University of Dortmund where the PI will spend two-and-a-half weeks to evaluate the sensitivity of the method. Given positive results of that effort, collaboration will continue in order to obtain fundamental information regarding the combustion and toxicity of MMT.

9902679Butcher该奖项支持西卡罗来纳大学的David Butcher与德国多特蒙德大学光谱化学和应用光谱研究所的Kay Niemax和Michael Bolhov合作。该研究合作项目将结合高效液相色谱和半导体激光原子吸收光谱分析甲基环戊二烯基锰三甲酰(MMT)燃烧产物中的化合物。关于这种燃料添加剂的潜在毒性最近出现了争议，自1995年以来，这种燃料添加剂一直在美国作为无铅汽油销售。由于对MMT燃烧产物的了解不足，与MMT相关的健康风险仍然未知。新的分析技术组合应该能够取代目前分析方法复杂而昂贵的仪器要求。半导体激光原子吸收技术是在多特蒙德大学开发的，在那里，PI将花费两周半的时间来评估该方法的灵敏度。鉴于这一努力取得的积极成果，将继续进行合作，以获得有关蒙脱石燃烧和毒性的基本信息。
