Acquisition of a GC-LC/MS System for Bioremediation Research

9724632邦纳：这一奖项旨在为开展合作研究的仪器提供支持，以净化被原油污染的土壤，石油精炼产生的产品和爆炸物生产的残留物。在这个项目中进行的研究包括确定这些污染物发生微生物降解的转化途径，特别是集中在中间产物的鉴定上。该提案是根据NSF仪器开发和采购招标，NSF 97-24，主要研究仪器（MRI）计划提交的。通过该合同提供的设备的可用性有望提高环境工程师和其他人员检测和监测石油和石油产品上微生物作用的中间产物的能力。这方面的知识预计将在工程设计中应用，用于净化被本项目所研究的污染物类别污染的土壤。＊＊＊

9724632 Bonner This is an award to provide support for instrumentation to conduct collaborative research on decontamination of soil that has been contaminated by crude oil, products resulting from the refining of oil and residues from production of explosives. The research to be conducted in this project involves identification of transformation pathways by which microbial degradation of these contaminants occurs especially concentrating on the identification of intermediates. The proposal leading to this award was submitted in accord with the NSF Instrument Development and Acquisition Solicitation, NSF 97-24, Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program. The availability of the equipment provided through this award is expected to enhance the ability of environmental engineers and others to detect and monitor intermediate products of microbial action on petroleum and petroleum products. This knowledge is expected to have applications in the engineering design of systems for decontamination of soil contaminated by the category of pollutants being studied in this project. ***
