Labs
The Water and Environmental Engineering laboratory occupies the Maddox Engineering research Center and has approximately 30,000 ft2 of space, including 12,000 ft2 of laboratory space, offices and a state of teh art classroom with distance learning audio and video capabilities. The space is now occupied by Maddox Chair Danny Reible and seven environmental engineering faculty. The space is available as needed to support the projects proposed.
The general-purpose equipment owned by the laboratory includes analytical balances, vacuum desiccators, ovens, bath, incubators, shaker tables, centriguges, water bath, peristalic and syringe pumps, ultrasonic cleaners, and electrode probes and meters for pH, dissolved oxygen and voltammetry measurements. Additionally, a variety of state-of-the-art analytical instruments are available and include teh following capabilities:
- Gas Chromatography (Agilent GC)
- Liquid Chromatography (Agilent 1200 HPLC)
- Ion Chromatography (Dionex IC)
- IC Triple quadrapole (SciEx ICMS)
- Triple quadrapole and single quadrapole Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometry (Agilent)
- Atomic Absorption (Perkin Elmer AA) Spectrometer
- Total Organic Carbon/Total Nitrogen (Elementar TOC) Analyzer
- Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (Agilent and Perkin-Elmer ICP-MS)
- Inductively Coupled Plasma- Optical Emission Spectrometry (Analytic-Jena)
- Liquid Chromatograph- Quantitative Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (Sciex LC-MS-QTOF)
- Combustion ion chromatograph total organic fluorine (Metroohm CIC TOF)
- Liquid Chromatograph- Q Exactive high resolution Orbitrap MS (Thermal Scientific)
- Cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectroscopy for Hg/MeHg analysis (Brooks Rand)
