Title: Design and Development of a New Hybrid Spectroelectrochemical Sensor

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/826441· OSTI ID:826441

The general aim of this project is to design and implement a new sensor technology which offers the unprecedented levels of specificity needed for analysis of the complex chemical mixtures found at USDOE sites nationwide. The new sensor concept proposed combines the elements of electrochemistry, spectroscopy and selective partitioning into a single device that provides three levels of selectivity. This type of sensor has many potential applications at DOE sites. As an example, the enhanced specificity embodied in this new sensor design is well-suited to the analytical problem posed by the addition of ferrocyanide to radioactive tank wastes at the USDOE Hanford Site.
