Filtration

with plants, dirt, and other permeable earth along the sides of different constructed areas. According to http://www.esf.edu/ere/endreny/GICalculator/BioswaleIntro.html, bioswlaes are “Linear, vegetated ditches which allow for the conveyance, filtration and inflitration of stormwater.” Bioswales are also known as filter strips, grass swales and other names.…

In this lab, the main objective is to identify the identity of an unknown compound via the methods of extraction, recrystallization, and melting point determination (University of Windsor, 2015). An important factor in this experiment is solubility. Solubility is the affinity for one solvent over the other. Liquids, or aqueous solutions, that may dissolve the same compound are commonly found to be miscible. By using liquid – liquid extraction a compound can transform into an ionic form, soluble…

The filtrate contained Cu in an aqueous form and was transfer into a new beaker. Lastly, Zinc was added to the new beaker to reduced Cu (aq) to Cu (s). This is oxidation and reduction reaction because . This copper was recovered through vacuum filtration. After performing these reactions to recover copper, the % yield of copper. Throughout the experiment, some of the Copper was lost due to poor lab techniques. During the dehydration reaction, the copper solution was bubbling. A stir rod…

Observe Ligand Protein Interaction using Gel Filtration (Phenol Red Binding to Serum Albumin) Introduction: Serum albumin is often known as blood albumin, it is the most abundant plasma protein in humans and other mammals. Serum albumin is essential for maintaining the osmotic pressure that is needed for distribution of body fluids between body tissues and intravascular compartments. It is also a carrier protein by non specifically binding several biomolecules. Ligand is a molecule can bind…

more than 2100 known drinking water contaminants that may be present in tap water. The issue that is being represented is being able to clean up several different contaminated waters- measuring up to 8 ounces of water to be cleaned- with the water filtration system. The goal is to be able to get as many contaminated waters to drinking level as possible. Some areas that are in need of importance is the water being in between the recommended pH level- 7.2 to 7.4- to be able to drink without…

These include utilities, transportation, agriculture and manufacturing. Businesses do two main things: produce and provide (usually for profit). All are essential to sustaining a modern standard of living. Utilities produce public services: water filtration, water heating, electricity and sewage. Usually these utilities are supplied and run by the government. Americans use this business numerous times a day. Without thinking about it, we take showers, wash clothes, drink, and turn on lights.…

mixed with glacial acetic acid and stirred in which then bromine/acetic acid solution was added to the mixture little by little. The dibromide becomes the precipitate of this solution during the reaction. Once this precipitate is separated by vacuum filtration the melting point helps identify…

Activated carbon, ceramic ball and KDF-55 were able to reduce 0.2 mg L-1 silver ions to safe levels of silver concentration is drinking water. Activated carbon is the only filtration media able to remove enough silver ions when the concentration entering the filter is 1.5 mg L-1. KDF-55 is the only filter media able to remove enough silver nanoparticles from the 0.2 mg L-1 initial concentration. Overall, at higher concentrations…

Bromination of trans-cinnamic acid Purpose and Introduction The halogenation of of trans-cinnamic acid using pyridinium tribromide was connected in the organic solvent glacial acetic acid in order to verify and test which addition mechanism the reaction would follow. In the anti-addition mechanism, bromines attach themselves on opposite sides of the alkene functional group in a compound. In a syn-addition, the attach to the same side of the alkene. The reaction synthesis was completed by using a…

Sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid were added aswell. Product collected by vacuum filtration and recrystallized from 96% ethanol. IR- and H- NMR-spectrum were taken to determine the location of the I+. I had a yield of 0,7 g (2,66mmol, 18,2%). The iodide’s position is opposite of the –OH group. Salicylamide…
