When I left the NRC as a materials inspector in 1985, my pay rate was in the

> The objectives of the work are

> 2. To characterize the colloidal fraction either physically (size) or
> chemically (functional groups – FTIR ; electrospray Mass Spectoscopy
(ES-MS)
> ; elementary composition - ICPMS, MEB, MET). The goal of the
> characterization is to understand the association between the organic
matter
> on the mineral surface and the effect of oxidation on the association.
> 3. To study the sorption properties of oxidized and non-oxidized
> organic-mineral colloids for Eu(III) and Ni(II). The work will be to
measure

> Financial support
