Field trial of WTP ion-exchange columns using Amberlite IRC748 during the Thala Valley clean-up

Ion-exchange columns were used in the WTP (water treatment plant) for water treatment during the clean-up of the Thala Valley tip - data collected during the operation were used as a field trial to investigate the effectiveness of Amberlite IRC748 for the application. Spreadsheets 1,2 contain sample ID descriptions for samples collected from the WTP, spreadsheet 3 contains sample ID descriptions for samples of meltwater collected from the tip site, and spreadsheet 4 contains sample ID descriptions for on-site operational monitoring samples. Spreadsheets 5,6,7,8,9 contain the raw data for the field trial.

Some terms and abbreviations used in these datasets are:

LR - low range
MR - mid range
Corr - corrected for drift
