A Study Of Periphyton, Sediment And Diatom Community Structure As Monitors Of Heavy Metal Pollution In The Embarras River And Brushy Fork, David L. Vaultonburg
A Study Of Periphyton, Sediment And Diatom Community Structure As Monitors Of Heavy Metal Pollution In The Embarras River And Brushy Fork, David L. Vaultonburg
Masters Theses
The purpose of this study was to evaluate periphyton (diatom) and sediment heavy metal content and diatom community structure as potential monitors of heavy metal pollution in the upper reaches of the Embarras River system. The study was initiated due to recent industrialization in the area which could potentially contribute to the present heavy metal burden of Brushy Fork and the Embarras River. These streams are already subject to agricultural runoff, wastewater plant effluent, landfill leachate and other miscellaneous urban and highway runoff. The Embarras River system drains an area of approximately 2800 square miles in 11 east-central Illinois counties …
Development Of Ruthenium Vinylbipyridine Modified Electrode Surfaces For Use In Chemiluminescence-Based Detection Systems, Matthew F. Piescinski
Development Of Ruthenium Vinylbipyridine Modified Electrode Surfaces For Use In Chemiluminescence-Based Detection Systems, Matthew F. Piescinski
Masters Theses
Based upon the chemiluminescent properties of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ and the proven analytical applications of that complex in the detection of easily reduced anions in solution, a chromatographic detection system was designed utilizing an immobilized form of the Ru(ll) complex. The objective was to create, by electropolymerization, a regenerative chemiluminescent surface on a working electrode. Reductive electropolymerization was accomplished by the use of a [Ru(bpy)3]2+ analog containing the ligand vinylbipyridine. Two analogs, [Ru(vbpy)3][PF6]2 and [Ru(phen)2(vbpy)][PF6]2 were polymerized on platinum, glassy carbon and indium-doped tin oxide working …
