OBJECTIVES

  • Prepare new CuSO4 standards for Atomic Absorption
  • Re-examine NaMT-CuSO4 exchanged filtrate solutions using Atomic Absorption
  • Crosslink all porphyrin films prepared
  • Prepare new crosslinking fixant solutions

New CuSO4 Dilution Standards for Atomic Absorption

  • Solution 0.1 ppm CuSO4
  (20 ppm CuSO4)V1 = (0.1 ppm CuSO4)(12mL)
   V1 = 0.6mL of 20 ppm CuSO4
  • Solution 0.5 ppm CuSO4 requires
  (20 ppm CuSO4)V1 = (0.5 ppm CuSO4)(12mL)
   V1 = 1.2mL of 20 ppm CuSO4
  • Solution 1 ppm CuSO4 requires
  (20 ppm CuSO4)V1 = (1 ppm CuSO4)(12mL)
   V1 = 3mL of 20 ppm CuSO4
  • Solution 2 ppm CuSO4 requires
  (20 ppm CuSO4)V1 = (2 ppm CuSO4)(12mL)
   V1 = 6mL of 20 ppm CuSO4
  • Solution 3 ppm CuSO4 requires
  (20 ppm CuSO4)V1 = (3 ppm CuSO4)(12mL)
   V1 = 9mL of 20 ppm CuSO4

Using the following concentrations(shown above), a calibration curve was prepared.

Fixant Solution Preparation

  1. Weigh out ~200g Na2SO4
 (Actual Na2SO4 Mass: 199.9953g)
  1. Add the Na2SO4 solids to a 1000mL closed cap plastic bottle
  2. Next, add ~1000mL of H2O to the bottle along with large magnetic stir bar
  3. Place container with the solution on a stir plate and stir solution for ~20 minutes or until all solids dissipate into solution
  4. Add 20mL of concentrated H2SO4 to solution and continue stirring for ~10 minutes more

Crosslinking Porphyrin Films

Follow same protocal regarding crosslinking glutaldehyde films; however, pay attention to the two PVOH films that will not be placed in the fixant solution during the crosslinking procedure.
