Tasks for September 10
- To complete film synthesis from September 5
- To begin film preparation of ionic liquid modified clays
- To analyse DSC data
Completion of Film Synthesis
Continued from Dr. Harting's procedure
- Placed in sodium sulfate solution, followed by 1% HCl solution and finally in Sodium Bicarbonate
Film preparation of ionic liquid modified clay
- Procedure followed as detailed by Dr. Harting
- Added 1.12 g of of Sodium Montmorillonite (NaMT) to a scintillation vial containing 20mL of 50:50 HPLC grade water:ethanol.
- Added 0.523 g of tributylhexadecylphosphonium bromide (THP Br) to exchange 100% of the Na from the clay.
- 1.12 g NaMt × (92×10-3/100g NaMT)×(507.65g THP Br/mol) = 0.523 g of THP Br
