Procedures
Make Exchanged Clay Films
- THP Bromide Exchanged Clay:
- Add 7mL of water to ~1.0 g PVA and ~0.11 g of THPB exchanged NaMT in a glass vial
- Stir the solution with constant heating at 75C until the polymer is dissolved and the clay is dispersed (~15 minutes)
- Cool the solution to room temperature
- Add 0.5mL 0.8 wt% glutaraldehyde.
- Stir for an additional 3 minutes to ensure homogeneity
- Pour solution into a teflon dish to dry until the next class
- Choline Chloride Exchanged Clay:
- Add 7mL of water to ~1.0 g PVA and ~0.11 g of CC exchanged NaMT in a glass vial
- See above
Column Preparation
- Glass wool placed in the bottom, saturated with methanol, drained
- ~3mL of sand added on top of the glass wool, saturated with methanol and then rinsed with water several times until liquid runs clear
- 10 g silica gel slurried in methanol gently poured into column, rinsed twice with water
- 10 mL BPA, let soak into the column
- 10 mL water run through column, collected in 5 mL increments
- 30 mL methanol run through column, collected in 5 mL increments
