Saffron glovebox to help clean up environmentSaffron Scientific Equipment Ltd has provided the University of Bristol's Interface Analysis Centre with an Alpha 3 port glovebox. With the capability of creating a positive or negative pressure environment at the flick of a switch, the glovebox is being used in the research of environmental issues at the Centre. The Problem:The traditional methods of remediating land and water sites contaminated with heavy metals and/or radionuclides are often prohibitively expensive or technically difficult. Researchers at the Interface Analysis Centre (IAC), University of Bristol needed a controlled yet flexible environment to investigate new remediation technologies for application to such sites. The Solution:
Earth Scientists at the University of Bristol’s IAC commented – "New methods of in situ remediation involve the use of reactive materials to immobilise pollutant species from groundwater by chemical absorption and reductive precipitation. It is hoped that an improved understanding of the mechanisms involved in the sorption reactions will permit the development of less costly, more effective remediation techniques." The Result:The Saffron glovebox has assisted the research of environmental issues in two significant ways:
