Engineering Research Equipment Grant: Totl Organic Carbon Analyzer

该奖项旨在为购买工程研究设备提供支持，以便能够测定含水层固体、沉积物、土壤、微生物生物量、地下水和大气中悬浮水滴样本中的有机碳浓度。在这种支持下购买的设备包括Dohrmann高温总有机碳分析仪和由船采样器、自动采样器和惠普ThinkJet打印机组成的附件。导致这一奖项的提案是根据计划公告和指南NSF 90-146，研究设备资助计划提交的。预计该设备将提高调查员研究土壤-水分配的能力，这对地下水污染和处理这一环境问题的工程方法具有重要意义。这些设备还将为联合调查员正在进行的其他研究项目提供重要支持。

This is an award to provide support for purchase of engineering research equipment to permit determination of organic carbon concentrations in samples of aquifer solids, sediments, soil, microbial biomass, groundwater and suspended water droplets in the atmosphere. The equipment to be purchased with this support consists of a Dohrmann High Temperature Total Organic Carbon Analyzer and accessories consisting of a Boat Sampler, an Autosampler, and a Hewlett Packard Thinkjet Printer. The proposal leading to this award was submitted in response to the Program Announcement and Guidelines NSF 90-146, Research Equipment Grant Program. The equipment is expected to enhance the investigator's ability to conduct research on soil-water partitioning, of significance in groundwater contamination and engineering approaches to dealing with this environmental problem. The equipment will also provide significant support for other research projects being conducted by the co- investigators.
