Determination Of Cadmium Nitrate Mass Through Neutron Activation Analysis, Charles Williams
Determination Of Cadmium Nitrate Mass Through Neutron Activation Analysis, Charles Williams
Opportunities for Undergraduate Research Experience Program (OURE)
Neutron Activation Analysis is a method of determining the composition of a sample wherein the sample is irradiated, then measured through gamma ray spectroscopy. This method can also be used to determine the mass of a particular substance within an unknown sample by comparing the gamma ray spectroscopy results to that of known results and applying a p redetermined linear relationship between known sample mass (or molarity) and the primary peak area form the gamma ray spectroscopy results. This relationship is what our project set out to determine for differing concentrations in a standard volume of Cadmium Nitrate solution (CdNO …

Synthesis And Characterization Of Mercury Vapor Coordination Species Using 1,3-Benzenedioethanethiolate (Bdet), Elizabeth Zuchek, Harvest L. Collier
Opportunities for Undergraduate Research Experience Program (OURE)
Mercury is a major pollutant in the air today. Some possible chelators that have been used are British anti-Lewisite (BAL) 2,3-dimercaptopropanol, dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA). diinercaptopropanesulfonic acid (DMPS). and 1,3-benzenediamidoethanethiolate (BDE'I1. All contain two thiol groups, which 'capture' the heavy mercury element. Due to their structure, they all differ in how well they bind to the mercury atom. BDET is the most recent and efficient chelate used. Statistics show that coal-fired power plants are the nation's largest mercury polluter. Steps have been taken to lower the emission of this toxic metal by the Clean Air Act. However, recently The Bush Administration's …
