ABSTRACTProposal No. CTS-0320818Principal Investigator: T. Ho, Lamar UniversityLamar University is a non-Ph.D. granting institution with a strong commitment toenvironmental research and education. Currently, research activities in several focused areas are being pursued, including characterization of outdoor/indoor particulate matter, development of microwave-enhanced technology for trace air pollutants destruction, chemical characterization of industrial sludge, super-porous titania-based photoreactor for environmental applications, and waste reduction in nanofiltration facilities. All of the activities require a high-sensitivity GC/MS (gas chromatography/mass spectrometry) to separate and identify the trace amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC). The requested GC/MS (gas chromatography/mass spectrometry) system is an Agilent (formerly Hewlett-Packard) Model 6890N GC interfaced with Agilent Model 5973 MS and coupled with a SIS (Scientific Instrument Services) Model 786000 Auto-Desorb System. The addition of this Auto-Desorb GC/MS system will significantly enhance our capabilities in conducting trace VOC-related research at Lamar University. This grant will enable installing a high-sensitivity GC/MS system at Lamar University to enhance capabilities in research and education in four different departments. It will also enhance services to the area K-12 students and efforts in recruiting potential students to science and engineering education.

Abstract Propopals No. CTS-0320818原理研究者：T。Ho，Lamar Universitylamar University是一个非PH.D。以坚定的承诺授予机构。当前，正在追求几个重点区域的研究活动，包括表征室外/室内颗粒物，开发用于微量空气污染物破坏的微波增强技术，工业污泥的化学表征，基于超级钛二氧化钛的光多反应器，用于环境环境应用以及Nananoftrations设施的废物减少。 所有活动都需要高敏感性GC/MS（气相色谱/质谱法），以分离并确定痕量挥发性有机化合物（VOC）。请求的GC/MS（气相色谱/质谱法）系统是一种安捷伦（以前是Hewlett-Packard）型号6890N GC，与Agilent型号5973 ms连接，并与SIS（Scientific Instress Services）型号（科学仪器服务）786000 Auto-Desorb系统相结合。这种自动驱动器GC/MS系统的添加将显着增强我们在Lamar University进行与VOC相关的研究方面的能力。 该赠款将使拉马尔大学安装高敏性GC/MS系统，以增强四个不同部门的研究和教育能力。它还将增强对K-12区学生的服务，并为招募潜在学生参加科学和工程教育的努力。
