  1. Start analysis on X-ray
  2. Start making new PVA and PVA clay films
  3. Set up experiments (like the malachite green experiments) to see how well the films absorb arsenic and mercury

Description

For Hg and As experiments, we made three different concentrations: 150ppm, 100ppm, and 50ppm; two sets of each for the PVA and PVA+Clay films.

Data

Mercury stock solution

  1. 0.0908g HgCl2
    1. (0.0908g HgCl2)*(1mol HgCl2/271.5g HgCl2)*(1mol HgCl2/1mol Hg)*(200.59g Hg/1mol Hg) = 0.0671g Hg
    2. put in 250mL volumetric
    3. 268ppm Hg
