Sensor for PFOA Under Development

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant that has been found at low concentrations in waste water, drinking water, human blood, and in food. Because PFOA and other perfluorochemicals (PFCs) are bio-accumulative, extremely persistent, and...

Xanthate Ion Selective Electrodes

Xanthate is a collector chemical widely used in the beneficiation of sulfide metals such as copper, lead, etc.  We developed an electrode based on fluorous sensing membranes to measure xanthate usage in a flotation cell.  Flotation is a solid-solid separations process...
