Week 7: Fe-CMC-BH Synthesis optimization
Submitted by Paul "Tae Won" Lim on July 19, 2010 - 1:51pm
This week, I worked on optimizing the synthesis of Fe-CMC-BH.
There were numerous variables such as rate of addition of reagents, the method of dissolving CMC, ways to introduce Iron to CMC solution and such. Dr. Nurmi introduced a more advanced way of mixing the solutions: the homogenizer. It seems to be effective, but not quite sure why it is effective as of now.
I also made a different testing method of Induced Polarization. I am introducing four rods into a surface. Yet to test this new system.
I also went to School of Medicine of OHSU trip to learn more about the medical school and their PhD, MD, and MPH programs.
