MRI: Acquisition of Instrumentation to Facilitate and Enhance Research Projects and Undergraduate and Graduate Education in Chemistry and Environmental Chemistry at TAMUG

国际和平研究所要求为购买仪器提供资金，以促进和加强塔木齐兹大学化学和环境化学方面的研究项目以及本科生和研究生教育。所要求的仪器包括FTIR、UV/Vis分光光度计和制备型LC/HPLC，这将允许对特定有机化合物进行表征和鉴定。这些仪器将支持3个主要领域的已资助和计划的研究：1)胞外聚合物的生物化学，2)离子液体和离子脂的研究3)从土壤淋溶到地表水中的天然有机物的生物地球化学和官能团组成。广泛影响获得所要求的仪器将提高研究人员继续进行研究的能力，为未来的研究活动提供基础，并为教学目的提供最先进的仪器。其中两种仪器也将直接在课堂上使用。通过SeaCamp计划提供了很好的外展服务。

The PI's request funding for the acquisition of Instrumentation to Facilitate and Enhance Research Projects and Undergraduate and Graduate Education in Chemistry and Environmental Chemistry at TAMUG. The requested instrumentation includes a FTIR, UV/Vis spectrophotometer, and a preparative LC/HPLC, which will allow for characterization and identification of specific organic compounds. The instruments will support funded and planned research in 3 major areas; 1) the biochemistry of exopolymeric substances, 2) the investigation of ionic liquids and ionic lipids 3) the biogeochemistry and functional group composition of natural organic substances leached from soils into surface waters.Broader ImpactsAcquisition of the requested instrumentation will improve the ability of the investigators to proceed with ongoing research, provide the basis for future research activities, and provide state of the art instrumentation for teaching purposes. Two of the instruments will also be used directly in the classroom. There is good outreach offered through the SeaCamp program.
