Monitoring redox conditions with redox indicators during microbial reductive dechlorination in microcosms and bioaugmented columns

Creator:: Ruiz-Haas, Peter A.
Abstract:: New methods, sensors, and devices based on redox indicators were developed to monitor redox conditions in anoxic and anaerobic laboratory systems and the subsurface environment. The primary application was monitoring redox conditions during the dechlorination of tetrachioroethene (PCE) to ethene (ETH) in packed columns and microcosm bottles containing an enriched...

A reaction rate determination of aluminum with a microcomputer-based spectrofluorometer

Creator:: Campi, Gregory Louis
Abstract:: The development and optimization of a fluorometric reaction rate method for the determination of aluminum is described. Modifications to existing instrumentation permit automatic monitoring and reporting of measurement conditions. Automatic correction of measured analytical signals is provided if monitored parameters deviate from optimum values. A computer controlled standard addition procedure...

Design and application of a microcomputer automated multielement flame atomic fluorescence instrument

Creator:: Neyzari, Shahrokh Ghaffari
Abstract:: An automated multielement flame atomic fluorescence (AF) spectrometer based on microcomputer control was constructed to determine four elements simultaneously. The instrument employs a multiple exit slit monochromator where the light from various exit slits is directed to a single detector with a mirrored funnel. Each element is excited to fluoresce...

A critical comparison of methods for the determination of phytoplankton chlorophyll

Creator:: Salinas, John T.
Abstract:: The concentration of chlorophyll in natural bodies of water is commonly determined as a means to rapidly estimate the phytoplankton biomass. The literature gives numerous warnings, however, as to the problems involved with accurately determining chlorophyll concentrations. The author's work at Crater Lake, Oregon enticed him to explore critically the...

Development of automated flow injection apparatus and a novel flow cell for chemi- and bioluminescence determinations

Creator:: Gander, Stuart C.
Abstract:: A practical and versatile instrument has been developed both to optimize the chemistry of bio- and chemiluminescence reactions and to measure ultra-trace quantities of associated analytes. The instrument consists of a pneumatic flow injection system linked to a detection cell and a signal processing and readout system. The disk-like cell...

A microcomputer automated anodic stripping voltammetric analyzer for trace heavy metal speciation

Creator:: Dewald, Lamar Robert
Abstract:: An automated instrument based on a single-board microcomputer was developed for use in voltammetric analyses. Operator input of numerous experiment parameters allows any type of voltammetric analysis to be implemented and multiple scans to be run unattended. A three operational amplifier potentiostat is used to control the cell voltage and...

Part I : development and application of an arsenic speciation technique using ion-exchange solid phase extraction coupled with GFAAS ; Part II : investigation of zinc amalgam as a reductant

Creator:: Bos, Mark C.
Abstract:: Two related techniques, based upon ion-exchange solid phase extraction, have been developed for the determination of arsenic speciation. The inorganic arsenic species arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) are separated by anion-exchange and detected with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry (GFAAS) with a nickel matrix modifier. The first separation technique, which...

The determination of gasoline and alkyl benzenes in aqueous solution and the development of a remote reaction chamber for fiber optic remote sensing

Creator:: Waddle, Robert D.
Abstract:: The development and optimization of a single-phase derivatization technique for small ring aromatics in water are presented. Also described are the design, optimization and application of a remote reaction chamber for fiber optic sensing. Aqueous solutions of the major aromatic compounds in gasoline are derivatized to o-nitrosophenol-Cu complexes with a...

Development and evaluation of sampling techniques, instrumentation, and pyridine derivative reagents for fluorometric determination of chloroform and TCE in water with a portable fluorometer

Creator:: Prayoonpokarach, Sanchai
Abstract:: A novel, portable, filter fluorometer was developed for the determination of chloroform and TCE at environmentally-relevant levels when coupled with improved sampling techniques and reagents. Reagents selective for the TCE or chloroform convert these toxic species into fluorescent species that can be monitored. The fluorometer is based on LED excitation...

Evaluation of sampling/preconcentration techniques and pyridine derivative reagents for fluorometric determination of chloroform and TCE in water

Creator:: Prayoonpokarach, Sanchai
Abstract:: A direct purge technique was developed for the determination of chloroform or trichloroethylene (TCE) in water samples. These volatile organic solvents are transferred from the water sample to a reagent where they are trapped and react to form products (Fujiwara chemistry) that are monitored fluorometrically. Chloroform in a water sample...
