Determining % Proliss 100 In Keratin Mousse Using Iodine Solution Method, Quiana Moore Jul 2015

Determining % Proliss 100 In Keratin Mousse Using Iodine Solution Method, Quiana Moore

All Capstone Projects

The objective of this experiment is to quantitatively determine the amount of active raw material Proliss 100 manufactured and supplied by a formulation company. The goal is to reproduce the percent of Proliss in Keratin Mousse production sample provided to consumers and provide measurements to be used to assess the accuracy of production with comparison to provided percent formulation for each batch. An iodine solution titration method was performed for this experiment due to the reduction-oxidation reactivity of the Proliss 100. This experiment is still undergoing further testing due to the confidentiality agreement between the manufacturer and formulator.


Phosphorus Measurements In Aqueous Media Using Inorganic Phosphorus Sources As Compared To Organic Sources And Resulting Complications, Robert Underhile Apr 2015

Phosphorus Measurements In Aqueous Media Using Inorganic Phosphorus Sources As Compared To Organic Sources And Resulting Complications, Robert Underhile

All Student Theses

The phosphorus moiety that exists in both inorganic and organic molecules has significant importance. Phosphorus serves as nutrient, a plant building block, a control agent for pests (both plant and insect), and can be an inadvertent cross contaminant in herbicide production, and is often seen as an environmental pollutant. As a cross contaminant, samples suspected of containing the phosphorus moiety are traced to the source of manufacture. Upon suspicion of the source, serious consequences for the manufacturer can develop including loss of relationships, heavy fines and legal matters. Quantitation of phosphorus is not straightforward. Phosphorus can be present in the …
