Column breakthrough ion-exchange experiments for Amberlite IRC748 (WTP for Thala Valley clean-up)

Spreadsheets 1,2 contains sample ID descriptions for experiments at 20 degrees celsius, spreadsheet 3 contains sample ID descriptions for experiments at 20 degrees celsius (with a buffer), spreadsheet 4 contains sample ID descriptions for experiments at 4 degrees celsius, and spreadsheet 5 contains sample ID descriptions for the trial experiment.

Spreadsheets 6,7,8,9,10,11,12 contain the raw data for the column experiments. ######### Some terms and abbreviations used in these datasets are: LR - low range MR - mid range Corr - corrected for drift QC - in-house spiked standard (multicomponent metals) Rinse - de-ionised water rinse through ICP-MS to check for contamination or carryover NIST - NIST standard 1640: trace metal water standard (NIST stands for National Institute of Standards and Technology) Ref Values - expected values from analysis of the NIST standard DilBlk - dilution blank Concentration AVG - average concentration (of three readings) ######### This work was carried out as part of ASAC project 1300 (ASAC_1300) - Development and application of technologies for the removal of heavy-metal contaminants from run-off associated with abandoned waste disposal sites.
