REG: An ESEM for Membrane, Biotechnology, and Catalysis Research

摘要建议书编号：9808280《将军》建议书类型：研究设备拨款计划首席调查者：威廉-《将军》隶属：科罗拉多大学这项拨款是通过化学和运输系统司界面、运输和分离计划的分离和净化计划子要素授予的。首席研究员是科罗拉多大学的威廉·克兰茨博士。需要研究设备资金来购买具有能量色散X射线分析的环境扫描电子显微镜(ESEM)。该仪器将用于支持化学工程系的膜科学、催化、生物技术和冻土方面的研究，以及NSF工业/大学合作研究中心的薄膜分离。环境扫描电子显微镜可以进行高分辨率的结构和元素分析，比传统的扫描电子显微镜大5000万倍。它特别适用于涉及非导电和/或热敏性聚合物和无机膜、生物污损层、催化剂、陶瓷材料、微生物系统和冻土的研究。除了知识生成的好处外，购买该仪器还将使学生的实践学习体验受益。

Abstract Proposal No: 9808280 Krantz Proposal Type: Research Equipment Grants Program Principal Investigator: William Krantz Affiliation: University of Colorado This grant is awarded through the Separations and Purification Program sub-element of the Interfacial, Transport and Separations Program of the Chemical and Transport Systems Division. The principal investigator is Dr. William Krantz at the University of Colorado. Research equipment funds are requested to purchase an Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis. The instrument will be used to support research in membrane science, catalysis, biotechnology and frozen soils in the Department of Chemical Engineering and in the NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research center for Separations using Thin Films. The Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope permits high resolution structural and elemental analysis at up to 50 million times larger than conventional Scanning Electron Microscopes. It is particularly useful for research involving nonconducting and/or thermally sensitive polymeric and inorganic membranes, biofouling layers, catalysts, ceramic materials, microbial systems and frozen soils. In addition to knowledge generation benefits, acquisition of the instrument will benefit hands-on learning experiences for students.
