Metadata details
AAS1300_PW_BATCHIX
All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description
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)
#########
This work was carried out as part of ASAC project 1300 (ASAC_1300) - Development and application of technologies for the removal of heavy-metal contaminants from run-off associated with abandoned waste disposal sites.
Some of the fields in this dataset are:
Isotope
Dilution
Rinse
Analysis
Sample
Seawater
Quality
The quality of these data were assessed by an external ICP-MS analyst, poor quality data were re-analysed (one occasion only), and good data were returned.
