Objective
Electro detection of metal and sulphide species in natural waters using microelectrodes. Metal and sulphide species can be detected in natural waters using electrodes, usually mercury based but some success has been obtained using modified electrodes. In-site detection in surface waters, and especially pore waters of sediments, is severely hampered by lack of suitable electrodes. Microelectrodes would solve problems related to low ionic strength, stirring, and minimised volume. Recent developments in micro machining and chip manufacture have enabled the possibility to make microelectrodes, and arrays of microelectrodes, sufficiently robust for in-site detection. We are experienced in the electro analytical detection of metal and sulphide species, and we have the electrochemical instrumentation to back this up. We are looking for a person to help us make, and test, microelectrodes and/or micro array electrodes. We hope to be able to test different materials such as gold, silver and iridium. It minimise the use of mercury we may have to use specific electrodes for specific aims, such as silver for lead detection. We are looking for someone experienced in the use, and making, of microelectrodes and arrays of microelectrodes.
