Water Chemistry

Environmental chemistry involves first understanding how the uncontaminated environment works, which chemicals in what concentrations are present naturally, and with what effects. Without this it would be impossible to accurately study the effects humans have on the environment through the release of chemicals.
This research laboratory is equipped with a suite of high-precision analytical instruments which are used to analyse nutrients and chemistry in water samples.
Instruments:
- Dionex ICS-5000+ HPIC - Ion Chromatography (IC) - Anion-exchange and Cation-exchange
- Skalar FormacsHT TN -ND25 (TOC/TN) - Total Carbon, Dissolved Carbon, Total Organic Carbon, Dissolved Organic Carbon, Total Nitrogen, Dissolved Nitrogen
- Skalar Auto Analyser San ++ Auto-analyser Spectrophotometer
