Objectives Today's objectives include the following: Test the 30% Bentonite beads prepared from solution Present data collected thus far at the class meeting Procedure Testing the 30% Bentonite beads The 30% Bentonite beads were tested using the same method as that from before. Presentation Our presentation included the following data: Swelling data from 9/23/2016 Pipette accuracy data and water purity data from 9/2/2016 UV Vis analysis of 10% AC and 10% bentonite beads from 9/28/2016 Observations 30% solution Bentonite beads So far, 8 MG rinses ~11 drops per minute The testing for the 30% Bentonite beads from solution makes sense so far. Theoretically, these beads should exhibit the highest level of absorption out of all the tested beads. Additionally, synthesis of the beads from solution as opposed to powder had a clear effect on the absorption.
