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

A series of ion-exchange batch equilibrium experiments were undertaken with laboratory solutions spiked with heavy metals to investigate the removal of these metals by Amberlite IRC748 at variable salinity and temperature. Spreadsheet 1 contains sample ID descriptions for experiments at 20 degrees celsius and spreadsheet 2 contains sample ID descriptions for experiments at 4 degrees celsius. Spreadsheets 3,4,5 contain the raw data for the batch 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 Institue of Standards and Technology) Ref Values - expected values from analysis of the NIST standard DilBlk - dilution blank
Concentration AVG - average concentration (of three readings)
