# Three samples, each with 0.1 g of clay was measured out for the Na-MT, 100% CEC, 50% CEC, and Na-MT coated iron oxide | |||
# Each sample was placed in 10 mL of copper sulfate solution that was previously prepared. | |||
# The samples were stirred in the copper sulfate for either 1, 5, or 10 minutes. | |||

* When making the 1 g PVOH/glutaraldehyde film, after the glutaraldehyde was added the solution thickened to the point that the stir bar could no longer stir. The solution was reheated to see if it would thin, but it did not. | |||
* When conducting the exchange using the iron, during the filtering of the 10 minute sample, some of the iron passed through the filter. | |||
