ANC CONTROL
Spring 2010 Research
Laboratory Methods
- Keep pH probes in pH 4 buffer when not in use.
- Do not use blender for more than two minutes at a time. Allow blender to cool in between uses.
- Take consistent samples of effluent for ANC testing.
- Ground any metal used in the experiment to avoid electrical charges interfering with data acquisition.
Data Collection Methods
- Take pictures of the experiment while running to have a visual representation of how the lime moves within the apparatus.
- Record the details of each experiment on the Google calendar, in email or in another form of documentation. Specify important things such as: date, time, flow rates, concentration, lime mass, and any unexpected things that occur (such as a broken blender, stamp box failure, etc.)
Maintenance Issues
- Clean the apparatus in the industrial sink in the basement of Hollister (with Paul Charles' permission). Use "Bright" bathroom cleaner to dissolve and remove any residual lime.
- Monitor the experiment for several minutes after beginning a run to check for leaks.
