The focus of current research efforts centers on the development of parallel column gas chromatography as a general analytical tool for trace detection of pollutants. Parallel column GC involves replacing the single column used in conventional GC separations with a parallel set of columns having different stationary phases. Effluents from injected samples are split among the parallel columns and recombined at the detector. Each compound is detected as a unique sequence of peaks due to its distribution of retentions of the different GC stationary phases. This provides a new source of analytical information that provides increased confidence in analytical determinations.
Multidimential chromatography allows futher selectivity optimizations.
An introductory course for science majors. The course focuses on modern topics such as environmental chemistry, biochemistry, nuclear chemistry, cosmochemistry and geochemistry, and polymers materials science. An honors general chemistry course that will be taught beginning in the 1996-1997 academic year. Students will conduct weekly molecular modeling exercises in the National Science Foundation funded Molecular Modeling Silicon Graphics Lab located within the Chemistry and Physics Department at Winthrop University. A comprehensive overview of environmental chemistry.
