Into Thin Air

When the ink layer on paper is too thin, it is caused by less printing pressure and less amount of ink is transferred. The central position of plate cylinder is moved to change the pressure between the plate cylinder and the blanket cylinder. Center distance between the plate cylinder and…

their size or surface area. They have diverse applications in electrical devices. Nanocrystal thin film transistors (NC TFTs) have been intensively researched, because of their low-temperature processability.1,2 Colloidal NCs are synthesized in a liquid solution containing some stabilizing organic molecules, broadly termed as surfactants, which are bulky and insulating ligands. The individual NCs in the thin film are indeed separated by these ligands, which significantly inhibit the charge…

paper, column and so on. 1 Chromatography differentiates by allowing the differences in polarity, vapor pressure, solubility and so on of different substances to be observed. 1 In our endeavor, we will be using specific types of chromatography, termed Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) and column chromatography. Essentially, TLC is an adsorption aspect of chromatography that uses a polar stationary phase and a non-polar mobile phase, and utilizes capillary…

proteins, and amino acids.2 Chromatography is the process of separating a mixture, and has many different applications throughout the world. There are a variety of ways to conduct chromatography including column chromatography, paper chromatography, and thin layer chromatography. The particular experiment conducted and discussed is paper chromatography. This experiment will use chromatography to test and identify unknown pen inks based on tests done on known pen inks. Understanding the history…

Abstract In this paper CuO-NH-NH2 nanoparticle was synthesized and used to remove anionic dyes from single and binary systems. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the nanoparticle. Direct Red 80 (DR80) and Direct Green 6 (DG6) were used as anionic dyes. The effect of adsorbent dosage, dye concentration and pH on dye removal was evaluated. Kinetic…

Chromatography Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to use chromatography to separate and purify organic compounds. There are many different types of chromatography but most depend on the principle of adsorption. The two important components of chromatography are the adsorbent and the eluent. Adsorbents are usually solid materials that will attract and adsorb the materials to be separated. The eluent is the solvent, which carries the materials to be separated through the adsorbent. After being…

This disagreement was about the pigments located in the stems and veins of a plant and the pigments located in the green portion of a leaf. Jan believed that only the stems and veins contained all of the important pigments except for chlorophyll. She believed that the green portion of the leaf would not contain all these other pigments. Mark, on the other hand, believed that the same pigments were also located in the green portion even though they were not visible. In order to determine who was…

Thin-Layer Chromatography Lab 11/12/14 Beginning Question To what extent does the polarity of a substance affect the distance it travels during TLC using water as the solvent? Safety Concerns The substances used during the TLC process could possibly be dangerous, so it would be best to avoid getting them on the hands. If one were to accidentally spill the water used in the process onto the floor, a slipping hazard could occur. Data Dye Solvent Front (cm) Spot (cm) R…

The goal of this experiment was to use the technique of thin layer chromatography (TLC) to identify the active analgesic ingredient of Advil and monitor the transesterification of methyl salicylate from acetylsalicylic acid. The synthesized methyl salicylate was then purified using acid-base chemistry and analyzed using H NMR spectroscopy. Identification of a proper mobile phase to separate common analgesics used in over-the-counter pain relievers was essential in being able to determine the…

Chapter Three - Conclusions 3.1 Conclusions This research aimed to verify the synthesis protocol for HPA-12 and analogues from aldehydes of Greatrex et al. (2014). Limited success in synthesising required quantities had a negative impact on the outcomes of this research, and no reasons were identified for the low yields that were obtained. Additional time, or resolution of issues resulting in low yields, would have allowed additional research and confirmation of the synthesis protocol. Long…
