Objective

  1. Start Analysis on pXRD spectra
  2. new PVA and 10% PVA-clay synthesis
  3. set up new experiments with PVA and PVA-clay films soaking in Arsenic (As) and Mercury (Hg) each with 150ppm, 100ppm, 50ppm

Protocol

Synthesis of new films

Synthesis is the same that was used on August 26th, 2014

  • 10% PVA-Clay film

1.0037g PVA and 0.1099g NaMT clay

  • PVA film

0.9998g PVA

PVA-Clay Cation Exchange

  1. After centrifugation the clay was laid out on a watch glass and dried
  2. The dried clay was removed from glass and crushed using a mortar and pestle
  3. It was then transferred into a scintillation vial and massed 1.0484g of NaMT cation exchange powder
  4. The vial was placed into a oven in order to remove any excess hydrate
