  1. Detecting Aluminum in Drinking Water Erica Sandoval

  2. Why Is There Aluminum in Drinking Water • Treatment • Microorganisms • Organic Matter

  3. Aluminum’s Toxicity • Alzheimer's • Nervous system • Respiratory problems • Skeletal problems • Toxic to fish • Forest decline

  4. Hypothesis & Goal • Low levels of Aluminum in drinking water can be detected using a Photometric Technique and GC-MS. • Research previous work 2. Use fluorescence technique 3. Use GC-MS 4. Apply to different sources

  5. Fluorescence

  6. Fluorimetric Determination of Aluminum • Measure Fluorescence • Form complex • Eliminate Interferences • Create micellar system

  7. Gas Chromatography-mass Spectroscopy • MS used for identification of components • GC used for separation • Form complex

  8. Thanks Welch Foundation for providing me with the opportunity to work on this project Dr. Altmiller for guidance and support

  9. Conclusion & Questions

  10. Gas Chromatography

  11. Mass Spectroscopy

  12. Spectrofluorimeter
